A suitable capacity, a reasonable speed, correct consumption for a price "tight"; reliability remains to be seen. Generally WD drives are quite reliable (I have other range in various capacities that work perfectly after years of fairly intensive use). Remains to be seen if it will do as well. Of course if you are looking for a great record "high performance" is not the same story, but not the same price either. The use of this drive is not large data storage to install the system from a PC "gamer".
