WD Blue 1TB 7200 at Newegg ... $49.99
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339 But it does seem that WD has shifted the 7200rpm lineup to the Black label for the 2TB and up capacity.
Maybe it does have something to do with the latest drive geometry. Probably worth doing some investigating.
Maybe 5400rpm is fast enough for a HDD these days??? Or maybe SSD drives are eating the budget market segment for fast HDDs???
