    Worked great. I was surpriesed at the speed for this standard hard drive . It took 3 seconds to boot windows completely. Running a heavy load on desktop. Shows no hesitation or bottlenecks.

  • replacement drive

    Wife's computer had a 500GB WD Blue (2007) that was acting "wonkie". Went to WD site and downloaded there tools for cloning. Worked right off the bat. Very simple. Did not need a bigger drive. The cloning tool would have worked for that also. Did the clone and pulled the old hard drive. No complaints

  • Good Drive So Far

    I've only had this hard drive for about a week, but so far it is working as expected. If it lasts for a long time, it will have been well worth the inexpensive cost.
