What's great about it: Installation was easy
What's not so great: I can`t think of anything
My power supply was making noise in my gateway dx 4860, so I thought it was time to replace it. Plus I wanted to upgrade to a GPU. I went on line and looked at the reviews and corsair had good ones. This one had some people complaining about coil wine, but I think it`s just people over clocking CPU`s and pushing the PSU to the limit. Plus I wanted a semi modular PSU. Installation was easy, works great, Very quiet and no coil noise.

What's great about it: Good price
What's not so great: None that I can think of.
I bought 2 of these drives, one for my desk top and one for my lap top. The lap top is a $299. deal, running windows 8 and took forever to boot up. Up graded the memory and put this drive in and it made a day night difference. Samsung makes a excellent product, the clone software worked great. The magician software is great and really speeds things up. To sum it up for the price, you can`t go wrong.

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Only good for a year
Works as advertised, set up was easy. Fixed a lot of problems with registry errors and improved boot up and internet speed. the only problem I have is I like to buy software and not rent it for a year. Well, live and learn should of looked up reviews first. I would recommend it to a friend, but would warn them it's only good for 1 year

Does the installer format the drive first? A lot of the questions here ask about installing on a new hard drive, but don't mention if those drives were formatted or not. I will be installing on a brand new hard drive that is probably not formatted.

Yes it will, It will also partition the drive to. Good luck

Actual usable capacity

It said 3TB but what is the actual usable or free space on a WD 3TB My Book? Thanks
It will be a little less than 3TB. You have drivers and other software to make it work with your OS.
