very quick and very high capacity as well as low cost 8 of 8 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Rating from warrenjackson 5 Stars ()

Advantages Fast HDD, capacity, cost

Disadvantages None

I have one of these along side my SSD to store games, documents and larger applications and also as a main drive in a second PC.

Capacity
This HDD has a high capacity of 1TB (1024GB).
The capacity seen by the operating system is ~930GB
Reliability
I have had no issues with either of the HDD's
Installation
All is required for installation is that there is a spare slot in your case and a spare SATA connection.
Speed
This is a very fast HDD, although not as fast as an SSD, it is up there with the faster hard drives.
A quick benchmark reveals a sequential read/write speed of 130.1MB/s and 162.0 MB/s respectively.
Noise
As far as hard drives go, I think this is a very quiet drive. Just make sure to keep it defragmented as I do and you shouldn't have any problems with the noise whatsoever.
Value for Money
This is a very cheap and very fast storage solution with a very high capacity.
Final Thoughts
If you have a spare £40 and are looking for a more responsive computer and cannot afford the premium of an SSD then this is all you need.
Feedback is greatly appreciated on my reviews, Thanks.
