USB 3.0 Interface provides great performance
on August 15, 2016
Posted by: BrianD1337
Verified Purchase:Yes
Love this drive with USB 3.0. I use it for backing up my home server and it's file transfer performance is superb. I am not using any of the software it came with so I can't speak to that but for straight file transfers it gets the job done.

Great performance for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have 4 of these hard drives in a raid 10 configuration. They outperform WD Green and Blue (which also have a slower spindle speed of 5400 RPM as opposed to 5900 on this Seagate) while typically costing less (make sure to take advantage of Best Buy's price matching policy). If you have extra money to burn then WD Red/Black would certainly outperform this drive but it's up to you if you want to spend the extra $$.

Inexpensive SSD with good performance/value
on August 15, 2016
Posted by: BrianD1337
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this SSD as an OS drive for one of my test systems. Installation is simple and the performance is decent. It isn't going to beat a Samsung 850 but for the system I installed it in, the difference isn't noticeable enough to justify spending the money that the 850 costs.

Versatile mixer with great performance

Until you use a high-end mixer you don't realize the difference it makes. It has been a welcome addition to our home and the ability to supplement the functionality with other attachments makes it the perfect fit for any kitchen.

Is it compatible with Windows 8.1 and / or 10?

You should not have any trouble using this drive or the software that WD provides with Windows 7 and higher.

Does this drive include any of the SATA cables or necessary wiring?

Even though this is a retail boxed drive it does not include the SATA cable or any screws. You will have to buy those separately.

What is the RPM speed? Not many and I think Seagate especially does not have a 7200 RPM 4TB drive. Thanks.

The spindle speed on the Seagate 4TB drive is 5900 RPM. Large capacity platter drives typically operate at slower spindle speeds. WD Green/Blue/Red drives in this capacity are at 5400 RPM. You would have to spend the money to get a WD Black drive to get a 4TB drive operating at 7200 RPM.

What kinds of material is this best to save? Does this come with instructions,I'm not the best on computers.

Solid state drives (SSDs) are best used for operating system and application files where being able to read/write from/to those files makes your system perform significantly better than it would when using a traditional platter-based hard drive. You wouldn't see much benefit from putting files that don't change frequently (i.e. pictures/movies/music) on an SSD with the exception of videos/photos that you are in the middle of editing. Since SSDs typically are much smaller than traditional platter drives people tend to keep a platter drive available as well (either internally or externally) to store large media files.
