I was looking for a smaller system board and after much compare I struggled through myself again to a WD drive. With WD itself I had made a few years back very bad experience: Either the board over one year, or it was from the beginning loud as a jet turbine with stuttering) But the chance I wanted to give WD again. Most positive feature of the Black Series is the 5-year warranty, something inspires confidence. The plate itself is whisper quiet and runs quite cool with 30 to 36 degrees. Copy and move large files running properly afloat. All in all (if the longevity this time true) can recommend the board.
