What's great about it: Price to quality is very good. A very stable drive.
What's not so great: It doe not compare to a solid state drive. I.E. less money but lower performance.
Purchased for an older Asus laptop. Old drive failed completely, suspect internal drive controller failure, not bad sectors. Needed new drive that was a good performer and very rugged / stable. WD (Western Digital) drives fit the bill. Best Buy had a very acceptable price. Was able to install without any problems (physical or operating system) and got laptop back on the road again. No nasty surprises during install or software downloads.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Very simple to setup and operate.
What's not so great: You must must have a Wifi connected device to configure it.
This was purchased for my son's big screen TV. He used a tablet to configure and was operational within about 5 minutes. He can now watch and download streaming video and not have to use any of his computers. Device requires an HDMI port and a device (computer, tablet, laptop, etc.) connected to your Wifi network. All setup steps performed though Wifi device. Now a basic TV can become a Smart TV. This also has the advantage of regular software updates from Google. TV manufactures do not have any incentive to keep their Smart TV units updated. $30.00 to convert a dumb TV into a Smart TV is a deal.

Does this hard drive come with a mounting bracket?

This drive did not come with mounting brackets. I believe it is intended for replacement of defective drive or in systems with internal mounts. Hope this helps.
