• Vamp on 20 Nov 14 @ 07:01 PM #

  2tb western digital green sa nas and desktop ko. 3 years and counting.

• songerph on 26 Jan 15 @ 12:16 PM #

  Ok naman siguro ang batches ng Green 1tb ngayon?

  WD scorpio blue 2.5-inch 160GB - Buhay pa after 5 years and still running.
  
  Seagate 500GB 7200.12 - Buhay pa after 4 years
  
  WD caviar SE 80GB - Buhay pa after 6 years
  
  Hitachi Deskstar (a.k.a. Deathstar) 250GB - patay after 1.5 years
  
  Toshiba 750GB 2.5-inch HDD - patay na after 2 years
  
  Based ito sa gamit ko 24/7 sa laptop and desktop ko. Usually video conversions ang ginagawa ko sa both laptop and desktop.

  mga sir tanong ko lang, pag walang power hdd, ano possible sira. Saka ano topic pag trobuleshoot hdd. salamat

• ke on 22 Mar 15 @ 07:18 PM #

  once pa lang ako nagka HDD na seagate 500 at 1 tera then shift to WD na ako.
  
  sa experince ko maingay seagate HDD.
  
  Ask ko sa may new seagate ngayon maingay pa rin seagate HDD? kasi WD na HDD ay tahimik wala noise.

• HyoiGattai on 22 Mar 15 @ 07:28 PM #

  in the last 5 years i\'ve had 2 seagate 320GB drives fail and 0 Western Digital Drives fail. my next purchase will be 2x 2 Terabyte Caviar Black drives

• songerph on 07 Apr 15 @ 01:22 PM #

  TIA!

  May naka encounter na ba sa inyo regarding walang drive letter yung WD Passport pero available sa Computer Management then mag e-error na write protected yung drive?

• damnoldcoot on 27 Nov 15 @ 12:58 PM #

  western blue lalo na yung mga oem sa laptop... madalas ako nakaka-encounter ng failing hdd...

• alto on 27 Nov 15 @ 01:06 PM #

  avoid too much vibrations ng mga fans as much as possible limit your fans sa case kasi too much vibration could lead to bad sectors and damage to the platter and magneto resistive head....
  
  imagine that the platter it spinning at 5400rpm or lets say around 7200rpm... clearance from the magneto-resistive head to the platter is lagpas pa sa ga buhok so when vibration is induced there will be a change na kakayod yung magneto resistive head to the platter causing na madage isa or both... and life ng drive depends on how you set-up your rig... you should always consider a lot of factors hindi dahil gusto mo malamig pc mo then you go placing too much fans not considering vibrations induced by these fans...

  Etong WD 400gb ko 2007 pa, Til now Okay pa din kahit gamit na gamit. I have three other wd drives still up and running. Sa Seagate ako may mga Bad experience.

• swingman_01 on 17 Jan 16 @ 03:52 PM #

  how to fix my external wd hdd, nareformat ko na sya kaso pag nagkopya kbps hindi tumataas speed nya

• chibibot on 08 Feb 16 @ 02:35 PM #

  1tb wd green so far ok naman.
  Nasiraan na kasi ako ng dalawang 1tb seagate and isang 2tb seagate.
  Ok sana madali warranty pero yun bigay nilang certified repaired after 6 months may issues na ulit.
  Yun pinaka lumang hdd sakin is freecom 2tb, buffalo 500gb. I bought murang transcend 2tb and adata 2tb for less than 3500php so far so good. Knock on wood :D
  I don't trust seagate anymore. So try ko wd naman.

• horhe_vicente on 11 Feb 16 @ 12:30 PM #

• manfungdarrell on 14 Mar 16 @ 04:00 PM #

  from my pc in 2008, Seagate Baracuda 160Gb..subjected to brownouts, beatings from frustration, dust and heat..still lives to this day, although I'm not using it anymore medyo mabagal kasi..sa tingin ko pareho lang ang WD at Seagate, it's just preference..pero marami na akong naEncounter na sirang WD karamihan Blues at external drives nila kahit naalagaan..so personally, I shy away from WD.. and HGST..
  I just filed a RMA of my 2.5 HGST bought 2013, died 2014, warranty until April..kung di ko nabasa mga RMA forums dito sa TPC di ko rin malalaman mga ganitong bagay lol.

• WJX19 on 14 Mar 16 @ 04:05 PM #

• polka on 27 Jun 16 @ 07:07 PM #

  from my experience,
  
  since im seagate user since I built my own computer.
  
  Seagate:
  20GB IDE -still working (since 2001)
  40GB IDE - still working (since 2004)
  1TB SATA - still working (since 2011)
  2TB SATA - still working (since 2013 and recent drive I also bough this year 2016)
  
  uptime ko sa 20GB IDE is unknown, probably wala pa SMART value for head fly time.
  uptime ko sa 40GB IDE is 2000+ days
  uptime ko sa 1TB is 500+days
  uptime ko sa 2TB is 300+days
  
  sa WD naman medyo marami na rin experience ng failure rate specially the IDE types
  
  WD 80GB Caviar Blue IDE - failed, too many bad sectors
  WD 160GB - failed, slow spin up drive, slow transfer rate
  WD 1TB Gteen - actuator failure, stuck up, probably due to intellipark
  WD 2TB Green - still working since 2012.
  
  for Samsung, super bad experience, hindi man lang tumatagal ng 1 year yung mga drives nila at sobrang init pa.
  
  Samsung 160GB SATA - failure, too many bad sector
  Samsung 250GB SATA - failure, too many bad secotr

• slyfox on 20 Mar 17 @ 09:34 AM #

  
  
  WD Raptor 74GB (1 on my 4 WD raptor dead)
  year 2003, 14 years of service :)
  
  
  
  Ps:
  iwasan lang ang WD Green madaling masira (3 on my WD 2TB green dead after the warranty period)

• BlackSG5 on 20 Mar 17 @ 02:58 PM #

  Just to share my experience with WD, mga internal drives ko na WD (Black and Blue) alive pa naman and more than 5 years na, BUT yung WD 1tb ko na portable (USB 3.0) namatay a few days after warranty expired! Great.... Can't recover my files. Replaced with Seagate portable na 1TB, still alive for about 3 years now.

• swingman_01 on 01 Jun 17 @ 05:03 PM #

  I skipped WD and shifted to Toshiba so far more than 3 years na mga ext. hdd ko 1x1tb and 2x2tb yung WD wala pa 1 year deads kaagad narereformat pero di nakokopyahan

• rancor2023 on 01 Jun 17 @ 05:27 PM #

  I've tried them all for more than ten years. Kanya kanya ring swertihan at depende sa usage at heat dissipation ng pinagkakabitan. Summary of usage:
  
  - Seagate laptop hdds are less prone to heat damage vs wd
  - Pero mas prone sa shock damage ang seagate laptop hdds vs wd
  - Wd desktop hdds run hot pero mas mataas tolerance kesa sa seagate
  - Shock damage matibay yung mga lumang desktop seagate, yung ngayon pareho na lang ng wd
  - Usage wise basta may cooler ok na
  - Hitachi hdds matagal buhay wag lang mabagsak o laging under excessive heat both desktop and laptop. Kung gaming or other hdd intensive apps, medyo umiikli ang buhay
  - Same goes for toshiba laptop hdds. Sa desktop naman, medyo lagi akong malas kahit may hdd cooler. Ayaw niya talaga ng stress. Yung bagong generation daw ngayon walang masyadong rma so tinetest ko pa
  - Power issues naman maselan si hitachi, ayaw niya kapag kinakapos psu mo
  - Firmware issues marami kay seagate to the point na sometimes it renders your hdd soft bricked so make sure you check your hdd firmware kung seagate ka
  
  - Kapag strictly backup storage lang, wala akong problema sa lahat basta 1) handle with care 2) iwasan mainitan, at 3) silica gel when storing para walang mold build up
  
  Edit:
  And yes, isa sa mga storage hdds ko ay wd green. 5 years na more or less.
