Cheap but not reliable

I bought this hardisk back in 2018


8 months ago


Since it was offering a large space at relatively cheap cost


The harddrive was small in size and portable


The design was same as the other hard-disk available in market


I plugged it in my laptop


But the real pain comes when it cames the time to transfer large data


On small file it worked fine but while transferring large files the speed throttle very much it goes from as high from 60 mbps to average speed of 35 mbps .


The harddisk is 5400 rpm and is vert slow when comes the point about transferring large data


Which should be the primary motive of this hard disk


It has normal sata connector to usb and work on sata III


THE device get quite hot during operation


Normally its fine but sometimes unbearable to touch.


The harddisk was quite good after performing lot of read write operation


The data in the hardisk was safe and I do not noticed any bad sector


The device comes with 3 years of warranty and I don't think I should be needing it anytime soon.


But as form my experience the customer service of wd is not that great


Hope the hard disk last for a couple of more years


The hard disk from my experience is value for money if you want a single drive with lot's of storage in it.


But if speed bothers you then this is not for you dude. You might need to get a good nap after initiating data transfer


So this is my review from my experience so far of using it .
