Large, Quiet, and actually pretty fast
5 Stars
Large, Quiet, and actually pretty fast
Everything works as expected and had to do some changes before Windows 7 x64 Ultimate would see all 3TB. I believe it was all about formatting it with GUID instead of MBR..Google it if you have issues,...it's an EASY fix, and is done within 5 minutes. The thing that surprised me was the speed of it. I have 3 drives total. My main is an OCZ Vertex 4 256GB, the other is same manufacturer, same model, but 1TB green drive. Moving an ISO from the 1TB to this gets sustained transfer speeds of 150MB /SEC ...sometimes more and sometimes a little less depending on the file, but either way I was blown away by the speeds, and it doesn't matter if it's on a SATA II or SATA III connection. I've put it on both with same results. Look for the screenshot of some results. I bought these drives for storage and I didn't expect them to be as fast as they are and I think that is excellent. I've had good luck with WD drives with the exception of a 500GB blue drive, which works fine, but makes random clicking noises quite often. Glad to be done with that, and very happy with all of my current drives.
