I bought this for my first pc build. This is a very good drive, and has more than enough storage for my needs. The performance is very good due to the caching system. Make sure you eject the drive before disconnecting, because files might still be stored in the cache. No drivers are required, so it is plug and play and very easy to use. The drive is quiet when in use, and does not get overly warm at full load. Great drive, WD is my go-to for storage needs.

EDIT: I was disappointed and quite frankly upset when I learned more about this drive after purchase. However, it performs pretty well and I can trust it now that I've owned it for a long time. No errors or problems for several years. It outperforms my budget Samsung HDD drive which had less than 100HRs before throwing errors. This WD has thousands of hours with no issues. That's impressive. To be honest I love the drive but I am still upset it is just a rebranded green drive...whatever Original: ITS A GREEN DRIVE NOT BLUE (okay the label is blue and it is as advertised but if you bought WD HDDs before you know what that means) History: WD made cheap and bad green 3.5" drives 5400RPM and in efforts to boost sales they got their label changed to blue and discontinued the use of green labels #marketting SOB's Well anyways, kinda expected that for $99 that I paid. This goes into the PS4 3.5" adapter so not a big deal if it fails. Before the facts, there is GOOD NEWS and it's listed at the bottom and the drive does work fine right now but 3 stars because I'm worried ok, it makes noises (probably normal noises), and it is really a cheap green drive so that worries me too. The current facts: It vibrates, it makes old and somewhat loud pc like noise (head movement) when playing games or when not playing games but transferring more than one file at same time. (downloading 2 or 3 games at once) If it is doing multi file transfer but one after another instead of all at once, then the head doesn't move much so no noise can be heard. The intensity of the noise is no louder than old drives of the 90s so I'm only half worried, as this may be the actual design of this drive. It gets warm almost too warm but not toasty. (granted it could use better ventilation and it is sitting in the adapter thing above a warm ps4) There was one BIG issue (which may have been the ps4 adapters fault) where I lost all data on the 3rd day. It would turn on and spin but ps4 could not recognize it or be able to initialize it (ps4s version of formatting) The fix was to use pc and 3rd party free-ware to rebuid the MBR. Guess something went wrong with ps4. Afterward once MBR was rebuilt it still only worked after I initialized (ps4s version of formatting) the whole drive and started resh again and that was a BIG improvement. 2 weeks and 1.3 TB later it is doing ok. I still don't know what went wrong that day THE GOOD NEWS ( best for last eh?) No surface errors found, tested this right out the package and after I had ps4 screw up the hdd MBR (assuming it was PS4 that did it, or the adapter) Guess i'll keep track of it and re-review if i can once it screws up again and I'll do SMART diagnostics to make sure the drive is not at fault

Its not as fast as an ssd what the load time difference between the two is not very noticeable. Loads faster than older Hard drives and easy to install. Highly recommend if you want to upgrade you HDD.

[ SEE UPDATE BELOW ] SUMMARY: (i) good performance as an external USB drive; (ii) internal temperature reaches the 95-105F range after several hours of use. REVIEW There are more than enough reviews of this disk as an internal drive. My interest, however, was to use it as an _external USB drive_, and that is what this review focuses on. The 3.5" WD Blue 1TB hard disk drive (WDC WD10EZEX-08WN4A0), has attractive properties for storage purposes: a formatted capacity of ~954 GiB out of its nominal 976 GiB --usually described by manufacturers as 1000 GB--, a 7200 rpm rotation rate, a 64 MB cache, a SATA III interface with a 6GB/s speed, and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring. It is not the top of the line of Western Digital SATAs, at least in terms of the length of their limited warranty (3 years for the WD Blue versus 5 years for the Black, although there are claims of not too different benchmarks), but because of its relatively low price it has a 'drive value' index similar to the top non-SSDs. This makes the WD Blue 1TB a good choice as an external USB drive for the storage of media or data, in particular incremental backups (especially when disk writes caching is enabled), since top performance values are unrealistic for serving as a guide for external USB devices, where performance is primarily dictated by the USB specs and manufacturing compliance. The figure below shows results of a free benchmark app in wide use, Crystal DiskMark, for the Blue 1TB used as an external USB-3 storage drive (left table) and --to provide some perspective to these values-- for an internal SSD with a good performance as a system drive (right table) -- the latter, which was partitioned into two logical drives, has a capacity of 512 GB, and both devices are quite comparable in the fraction of used capacity, ca. 40%, which is important since performance declines as a drive gets full. The first line in both tables are the averages of sequential 5 reads and 5 writes with multiple queues and threads for a relatively large data block; this measures how quickly large files (e.g., backups or multimedia) can be read from or written to the drive. The second line are the averages of random 5 reads and 5 writes with multiple queues and threads for a small block; this measures how quickly many small files (e.g., when copying large app folders or loading programs during operating system startup) can be read from or written to the drive. The third and fourth lines mirror the above two but using only a single queue and thread. The lower performance of the Blue 1TB is only due in part to USB transfer issues; published data indicate that, if used as an internal drive, the values in the left table would have increased by less than two fold. Nevertheless, its performance is quite appropriate for external storage. I mounted the WD Blue 1TB vertically in a dual-bay USB3 docking station, and it is typically quiet but for some clicks when it starts spinning. A negative finding is its temperature after many hours of use: compared with a 2.5" WD Blue 500GB disk that warms up to about 24C (75F) in the second bay of the open docking station, the Blue 1TB gets hotter in the range of 35-40C. Temperature is often claimed to affect drive reliability (but see "Failure Trends in a Large Disk Drive Population" by Pinheiro and co-workers, 2007), so I put close to the station a small USB fan with an adjustable speed set to a low value to keep it quiet, which brings the Blue 1TB temperature back to the below-30C range. UPDATE June 2017 Used in a new Lenovo E560 has worked extremely well over the last 6 months. The only issue has been that Windows (7SP1 Pro 64x) failed to recognized the drive as ready in 2 or 3 occasions only, and offered to format it; so far, this has been solved simply by rebooting the laptop. (This is a known but rare quirk of the OS, usually --but not always-- fixed by running the command sfc/scannow as an administrator in the DOS box.)
