Pros: Reliable and capable of running any game or operating system with respectable performance

Cons: not as fast as an ssd

I can definitely tell the difference while booting Windows from a high end SSD, but that is not what this review is about. I have ran windows on one of these drives and they do perform very well, but booting from a mechanical drive is becoming a thing of the past.

“So far so good, this 1TB was on sale form Newegg a ways back. Has 1 TB capacity, 7200 RPM, silent operation. A friend warned me of this drive after I purchased saying that it is a common dead drive. I have not run int any issues so far, and disk always comes back ok. Just in case though I do not have OS on this drive.” --ryan w

“Bought this HDD for my mothers PC build, acting as a primary hard driver for her PC build. Thus Windows 7 professional was installed on it. I must say the performance is absolutely outstanding, almost to the point of beating my own Corsair Force GT SSD in some respects. For example the boot up time of the HDD from cold boot to Windows is around 50 seconds. This is with an i3-3225, 8GB of...” --Totally Dubbed

“Bought 3 of these a year ago (for RAID1 and an external backup). I haven't had a problem, until recently. One of the drives started in with a SMART error. A quick RMA to Western Digital fixed it however. My other 2 drives still function flawlessly. Getting ready to setup a RAID5 with them once my replacement comes in. Wish me luck, as I've heard they don't like higher levels of RAID too...” --pioneerisloud
