Product arrived on time, packaged safely shipped, easy installation and performs as expected. But no installation instructions or guidelines or directions in package. But all information can be found online.
Mr Pete
The way its supposed to be on initial processor start up, good drive configuration to bios and clean format. Hard disk performing well thus far!

Western Digital is my go to company for drives. I can rely on them to give a good product no matter the manufacturer. I've only had one HDD failure in 15 years of using blue and red drives and it was a failure of my own. We'll see if this batch holds up. SSDs may be faster, but HDDs are more reliable. I care for performance and lifespan, not boot and load speeds, and I thank WD for being reliable.

With the full size hard drive in a HP/Compaq case mounting screws just slid into place and lock in.I can change drives in minutes.Using as a Seperate Linux drive to switch to and from different Linux operating systems.
