  • Good drives, but pretty much obsolete

    This is probably one of the fastest mechanical hard drives you can get, even today (the newer generation is likely marginally faster, but this is close). However, it is still a mechanical hard drive, and as such, SSDs will still easily beat its performance. However, if you can't afford an SSD, then this is a great choice for a budget computer. It's certainly fast enough for modern usage, 300 GB isn't tiny, and they can be very cheap used (like this listing). It is a SATA drive (not SAS), so it should fit in any modern desktop computer. Note, however, that this is NOT a laptop drive - it will NOT fit in a laptop, and even if you manage to do so, it will NOT work in a laptop as it requires 12V. A desktop computer provides this, so it will work in one of those. You can also expect this drive to be rather loud. If you've ever used an old Maxtor drive from about the 10GB days, it's roughly on par with one of those. It does, however, support AAM, so it's possible to sacrifice some performance in favor of reduced noise. For those running Linux, hdparm can do this. There is most likely a similar utility on Windows. The drive also runs quite hot, but in my testing has not reached the maximum allowed operating temperature. If it does become an issue, a small amount of airflow over the drive should handle it.

  • Fast enterprise drive

    WD are reliable HDD. I use them on older PC’s. Fast seek times make for better performance. Good drives.

  • Fast

    I put it in a desk top and trippled the speed of my computer. Being WD I expect it to last a good while. Got to love the speed. I did have to provide extra cooling though.

  • Just as described

    Tested with a benchmark and seems to be near what is claimed for speeds, although no where near as fast as any SSD.

  • Can't go wrong!

    if you want a reliable, fast, quite PC, Server, NAS this is the drive of course SSD's and SSHD's are faster but only by M/S not minutes. if you are a pro this make your system Solid! plus the data has a better chance of recovery if needed.
