My bias for the laptop disks is the slower 5400 RPM which seems to be more reliable. I would have liked a little more disk cache, but I haven't noticed any performance difference with the smaller 8MB cache. I do not like the SSDs because they become sluggish after a number of writes and Windows, when I use it, is always swapping memory in and out for some unknown reason. That's not good for an SSD.
Since I am going with Ubuntu, I backed up my old 500GB disk using PartedMagic onto a large 3.5" drive. After installing the WD drive, I restored the exact same 500GB image. My plan had been to create a new 250GB partition for large files. This didn't work out since I had reached the maximum number of partitions (six or seven) that could be supported. It works great as-is and some day, I'll work on accessing the additional space by expanding the existing partitions or deleting one of the useless partitions that Dell has (ie the backup "D" partition and the embedded XP "media button" partition). Maybe when I do the next disk upgrade!
I put the drive to heavy use, creating many small files and then combining them into large files. The drive is not loud, but can be heard if my laptop is on my lap. The noise is nothing compared to the CPU fan when it comes on which is probably due to it being full of dust after all the years of use.
The highest importance is the reliability. I do not want to waste days to recover from a failure. Also, I do not want to back up constantly like my Mac's do. I do not use cloud storage - which would be very reliable - because the only files I would put on there I do not trust to be on the Internet. Since Snowden revealed the existence of back doors, one can be sure that criminals are using them.
That being said, after three months of frequent use, this drive has been solid. I will update this review if a failure occurs in the two year period (and downgrade the five star rating if that were to happen).
NOW PAY ATTENTION! Everything was working fine until I tried to run Windows Update from the Control Panel. It refused to run. I spent a lot of time on this problem, but here is the short version. The Western Digital 2.5" blue drives in size 750GB and 1TB are "Advanced Format" drives. In some instances they need to have the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver version 9.6 or later installed. Problems with Windows Update is one symptom of this need. So once you get the WD drive and Windows installed on a PC with an Intel chipset, check the Windows Update function. If it does not work,you need the Intel driver. I ran driver version 9.5.6 downloaded from the HP support site (as sp47845.exe) for a month. This seemed to fix everything and I was happy with this version of the driver until I looked over the WD support info and noticed the requirement for version 9.6 or later. The latest version on the Intel support web site is version 13.2.4. This version would not install on my Samsung. I finally discovered that version 9.6 still exists for download on the Intel site as filename STOR_allOS_9.6.0.1014_PV.exe. (Search on the file name and you will find it easily.) This version 9.6 will install and run on the Samsung, so I am now complete and happy. So the bottom line is that the drive works well in my Samsung once you install the Intel driver software. I like the drive.
