- Is this drive fast enough to use as a Windows boot drive?
- It works, but it is much slower than an SSD for booting and loading apps. Most buyers use it as a secondary drive for files, games or backups alongside a small SSD.
- Will it fit my desktop?
- It is a standard 3.5-inch internal drive, 4.0 inches wide and 1.03 inches tall, so it fits a normal desktop hard-drive bay. It will not fit most laptops, which take 2.5-inch drives.
- What is the difference between this and the WD Blue 5400 rpm version?
- This model spins at 7200 rpm and carries a 256MB cache, so it transfers data faster than the 5400 rpm WD Blue. The trade-off is slightly more noise and power draw.
- Does it come with cloning software?
- Yes, WD offers free Acronis True Image WD Edition cloning software for its drives. It lets you copy an existing drive onto this one.
- Is it good for a NAS or RAID array?
- WD positions this as a desktop drive, not a NAS drive. For always-on multi-drive arrays, WD Red drives are built for that workload.
- What is in the box?
- The drive itself in retail packaging. SATA cables and mounting screws are not included, so check whether your case and motherboard already have them.
