WD Western Digital 2TB 2.5 128MB SATA III Hard Drive for Laptops, PS4 (WD20SPZX)

I mainly got this to expand the storage. Its a shame that for laptops, the storage seems to only go up to 2TB. Oh well, the hard drive was upgraded. I am also researching what to upgrade the HP 17 ca laptop with, as far as the M.2 SSD.

I have mostly been buying toshiba drives but this one is nice and quiet (about the same noise level as toshiba) and twice as fast! I was super impressed with the speed. I have seen peaks of around 100 megabytes and sustained rates of 80 megabytes of both read and write. small and thin no problem fitting into my laptop. (keep in mind that many factors influence speed) I have had it for a few weeks now and no problems. tested it thoroughly before installing. only time will tell about its durability, but I have external western digital drives that have lasted for many years, no reason to think that this one wont be just as durable. I will update this review if I encounter any problems. June 2022

Worked great for the PlayStation 4. Remember to download the entire system install file. Its up and running again.

Didnt get instructions about getting the Acronis drive backup/copy software as was listed in item description. I DO NOT want to pay monthly subscription price for the software I would use maybe once or twice a month. Too expensive for that.

I seem to have bought many of these 2.5 inch 2TB hard disks. I have six in hand right now. One is working well performance wise but is reported as having so many errors that its predicted to fail soon. One is brand new, and offers up way above 100 MB/sec read and write. The other four work - but their performance is abominable. They might get to 50 MB/sec write average over a 1GB file.. Aja system test lite shows why - the drives are sometimes having to retry many many times, so that at times their throughput goes to just 4MB/sec. The image shows one of these disks. The left hand graph should be smooth - its limited to 38 MB/sec because the disk was mounted temporarily in a Voyager S3 disk adapter - slower than USBC. But as can be seen the performance drops precipitously twice. The read graph on the right is better, but disks need to store information. So - never again.

I use this drive with a Tablo device and it works great!

No surprises, I got the product I wanted, when I wanted it, and at a good price. Installed it to my device and it is working as expected.

I chose this mechanical hard drive for use to back up specific files from a bunch different computers; I put it in a portable enclosure I can move from one machine to another. Why a mechanical drive? SSDs don’t have the track record for data longevity that I needed for this application. This is data I absolutely must keep, so the potential for an SSD’s nonvolatile memory chips to have any problems wasn’t something I wanted to deal with. Also, the price point for mechanical hard drives (from reliable brands/sources) is still lower than for similar-capacity SSDs (from reliable brands/sources). The drive was easy to install - my enclosure mimics a laptop’s hard drive bay - and it spun up and ran from the start without issues. This was a great choice for my uses, and I’d buy another if and when I need it.

Muy buena inversión para mi ps4, ahora tengo 2Tb

Sin quejas, funciona perfecto en mi PS4 Pro.
