Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Before that I had been in a laptop for 3 years with a small WD2500BEVT. The case warmed noticeably and parked the head with a loud click, but it still works, but already outside the laptop :) But this one is practically inaudible in operation, if you do not listen, and the heat in the area where the disk was installed has become smaller. After installing this disk, I came to thecomnclusion that the previous disk raised the temperature of allcommponents by 4-5 degrees! Significantly increased speed. Noticeable when loading the OS and when opening even office applications. Annoyed only by the loud sound of pancakes stopping after the power is turned off. But there are no loud clicks of heads parking during operation. I hope he doesn't die, because took in exchange for the deceased and exchanged under the guarantee of acommpletely new WD3200BPVT - CrystalDiskMark 3.0.2 x64 (C) 2022-2022 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World: - * MB/s = 1,000,000 byte/s [SATA/300 = 300,000,000 byte/s] Sequential Read : 124.519 MB/s Sequential Write : 121.927 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 39.349 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 45.997 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 0.516 MB/s [ 126.0IOPS] Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 0.861 MB/s [ 210.1IOPS] Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 0.987 MB/s [ 240.9IOPS] Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 0.869 MB/s [ 212.1IOPS] Test : 1000 MB [C: 33.6% (26.9/80.0 GB)] (x5) Date : 2022/05/01 22:35:43 OS : Windows 7 Enterprise Edition SP1 [6.1 Build 7601] (x64)
