About this product

Product Information

The Western Digital Blue 500GB Internal HDD from the SATA 600 series, model number WD5000AAKX, is designed and manufactured with the proven performance found in WD's original desktop computers and mobile hard drive accessories. Built to high standards of quality and reliability, these 500GB drives offer features and space that are ideal for your everyday computing needs. These drives are a great way to upgrade your PC or build a powerful machine from scratch.The Western Digital Blue Caviar 500GB 3.5-inch internal hard disk offers fast and efficient data processing for desktop computer systems. The WD Blue Caviar WD5000AAKX has a 16MB buffer cache and spindle speeds of up to 7200 RPM. Through its SATA 6 Gb/s interface, it provides data transfer rates of 3 Gb/s from the buffer to the host and 128 MB/s to and from the drive. The Western Digital Blue 500GB HDD comes with several other features that improve its performance. These include the IntelliSeek feature that optimizes data read and write for minimal noise, vibration, and power consumption. The WD Blue also has the NoTouch Ramp Load technology in which the recording head does not touch the disk media, which helps to minimize wear and ensure a longer life.The Western Digital Blue Caviar 500GB internal HDD WD5000AAKX helps your computer perform better because it allows you to store very large amounts of data. In addition to running at 7200 RPM, which helps your PC run quickly, it also has a large cache, which helps it run multimedia applications that use a lot of data. The hard drive self-calculates the optimum speed at which it needs to run, and it can lower its power consumption, noise, and vibrations as necessary. This makes the hard drive perfect for energy-conscious people who want to build a system with a high capacity and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation. As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those drives increases as well, so it becomes increasingly important to reduce consumption.This hardware accessory also performs self-maintenance tasks. The advanced Data LifeGuard algorithms monitor your drive continuously so it stays in optimum health. The 500GB SATA 600 series drive has the space to hold all your favorite movies, games, pictures, music, applications, and more. It's a well-designed machine with a fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms that are all designed to deliver significant power savings.You can pair this type of large-capacity drive with an SSD to give your desktop a performance and storage boost. The SSD maximizes speed of data access while the form factor is 3.5 inches with a maximum width of 4 inches. With better mechanics come bigger needs for any hard drive. Handling all of your songs, videos, and games is a snap with this 500GB drive. It is compatible with typical computer configurations, including PC and Mac setups. This hard drive comes with easy backup and upgrade options for user convenience in a business or personal setting.

Hard drive arrived early. Hard drive had a problem, but I was able to fix it. Not sure what caused the problem though. Seller needs to check the refurbished item before shipping.

  • Top critical review

    The 500 GB hard drive that I received is non-operable and unusable

    THIS IS THE REVIEW I SENT TO THE SELLER ON 12/01/2022 AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM: The 500 GB hard drive that I received is non-operable and unusable. I connected the HDD to 3 different computers and could not access/use the drive using 4 different operating systems (2 Windows and 2 Linux) and GPARTED installed on a CD could not access, format, or partition the HDD.

  • Good value!

    Western Digital has been my primary source of disk drives and have never been disappointed in them. They seem to last for years! I was surprised to discover I was unable to use this one as an external drive connected via an Interface Cable to a USB Port; I have a couple 2.5" drives I do that with. Finally decided to purchase an Interface Cable with a Power Supply and that did the trick!

  • storage drive

    PROS its quiet / stores my data and was cheep. its a good quality drive. CONS its not super fast. don't get me wrong its not a slug. I have a WD black in my other computer and it is much faster then the blue but also cost more so I guess you get what you pay for. I use a ssd for my main drive and this hhd for extra storage and it works out great.
