Links/Price/Specs to Choose/Alternatives

I bought it offline for Rs.5600 after my old HDD died in mid March 2026.
At this time the new WD HDD was Rs.8500 so I paid 35% less for this used product.

When and if the PC Market starts behaving normally, alternaties will be added on the main HDD page.

The original WD Drive has the following Specifications:
Load/unload cycles: 600,000
MTBF(hours): 2,000,000
But with HDDs it's more common that there is some mechanical failiure.
And 5 years warranty from them.
