Had wife put it in my Synaptics server for me. (Yep that easy). Fired it up and Synaptics built the back up and then expanded the software with out any work by me. About as easy it gets.

Have it for 2 years now bought from new egg, its bang for the buck, yes its silent because it has one platter only, thats why read/write head noise is very silent, also its fast, windows 8 boot up to dektop time - 8-12ms similar to an cheaper ssd's.Really worth buying.

WD might be misleading. This to my knowledge is not a western digital product. It comes with a generic white sticker that reads (white label sata 1tb) Works fine so far.

As always Western Digital hard drives do not disappoint, the quality is always top notch and with the Acronis copy software it makes it a simple processes to move your entire system to the new drive.

1TB of space is still enough for the average user, and these solid well performing drives work. Work, that's all it needs to do. Happy, bought heaps of these for builds, never an issue.

Compared to my old 1TB WD from 2011 this is pure gold.From 80MB Read/Write to over 180MB Read/Write this has been a massive improvement in performance.Not just for load times, but for texture load times.Being a big gamer this has improved performance a fair bit.Although it will not help with FPS,...
