WD 1 TB 3.5-Inch Desktop Mainstream

Good performance and capacity. I am running it as the primary boot disk with Linux Mint 18 and grub boot selector. Also still running windows XP on a separate disk. I need both Linux & XP on this machine. I have win 7 on another box. Still not impressed with win10.

I purchased the 3TB model and it performs just as well as I thought it would. While it's only 5400 RPM, this 3-platter drive is almost 50% faster than the 2-platter 620GB 7200RPM drive that came with my computer due to the greatly increased capacity per platter (1TB @ 5400RPM > 320GB @ 7200RPM), so I'm very happy. This drive is a great value and, if speed is what you're after, pick up an SSD for your OS and applications, and put your user profile on a drive like this one (set up a junction point if you're a Windows user). All in all, it's a good purchase for the right purpose.

this disc(actually 2 of them) were purchased to replace two(2) 160 GB drives in an old dell system. they came in the time specified, installed easily and booted up with no problem. they're running almost 24/7 and no problems so-far. the only negative, if you want to call it that, is that they are quite loud. this is only noticeably apparent if you had "quiet" drives installed. all in all it was an excellent purchase.

Drive is performing great as my main almost 3TB C: drive (some space had to be taken from total for special Windows partitions).Due to Windows 10 release and then due to this drive being greater than 2TB I had to reinstall Windows multiple times.Being paranoid, I had also tested sectors of this drive between installations.NOT A SINGLE ERROR OR HICCUP!
