Bought this drive to go in a simple office build. The price was right at the time, just needed something cheap. Hasn't failed yet. Would definitely get another one for my next build that doesn't get a SSD. (Read More)

These blue drives are the standard 7200rmp drives that have been in use for years, and used to be the standard for gaming builds before black/ssd drives came out. Personally I use black drives for the added speed and reliability, but these blue drives are still solid choices for budget/basic use. (Read More)

Bought it as my primary (OS) drive, and have nothing to say bad about this drive. Never had any head crashes or corrupted data, it has been reliable all this time and as fast as I've really needed from it.
