Gaming Computer With The Highest Tb Hard Drive

There are three things you can do to your computer to speed it up. First, try to max out the memory (at least 16 megs). Second, get the fastest hard drive (not ssd*). Third, upgrade the CPU. I listed these in cost, and while its a toss up between memory and hard drive - try memory first. My original computer (an Intel I7 - 16 megs) came with a 1.5 TB hard drive. It was a SATA 1.  It was getting long in the tooth, and was creating drive problems.  I decided to clone it to a 2 TB  SATA drive. The cloning problem choked on the bad sectors.  After doing some research, I successfully cloned the drive.  The clone drive was dragging.  Spying a sale at B&H  I purchase two of the 2TB SATA 3 drives and clone one of them. I then defragged the drive and tested the speed. It was reading and writing better than 5 times the speed of my old SATA 1 drive. No your probably thinking, what about those bad reviews, drive not working and failing.  Well experience has told me, if it works - its great. Problem deal with it. I put the second SATA 3 to work as my back up drive. I created an image of the first drive and use it for the daily backups. And that image has been backed up to a system server. - I can sleep nights, can you? So, in conclusion - I would recommend this drive and make sure you have a copy of Seagates Disk Wizard (its free.) Back up your important data, etc. to two separate locations.

I bought my first home computer in 1991. I can't believe how far technology has come to have a one TB hard drive for this price. I use it to store all my Canon 7D pictures and HD video. Very easy to use.

I thought when I bought a 6 TB Hard Drive a few years ago I would be good for a 5-10 years. With a 100 megapixel camera now I am chewing up drive space fast. Even with culling unnecessary images and backing up to the cloud, I still like having more storage on the desktop. This will be my third WD drive. I like that the technology has not changed much from the other drives. As a photograph, reliability matters most to me. With this drive I now have 34 TB of external drive space. on 5 drives. Should be good for a while. I really am happy with this drive! Highly recommended!

Excellent hard drive to go with your Mac computer!

Fit my 1.5 TB WD hard drive perfectly. Great little case.

I work in film editing and I have several smaller external hard drives (8TB, 5 TB, 4 TB, 2 TB, etc.). When I got a new stationary computer I decided to re-distribute what was on those smaller drives and keep a master external hard drive attached to my new computer. I got this 20TB for that purpose, and it does exactly what I need. With a stable connection and a reasonable speed of information transfer, I was able to re-organize and stabilize my existing projects, while establishing a central location for new projects as well.

I had purchased a new computer with a 512GB SSD and a 2 TB internal drive. Since photography is my thing, I burn up lots of disk space and the 2TB drive wasn't going to make me happy so I decided to swap it out for a 4TB. Western Black drives have a really good reputation and the 5 year warranty is very reassuring. When you have can't replace it files you need to go for the quality. It installed and formatted easily and is happily running in my new tower.

I use it for a 1 gb 2.5 ssd data disk and a 3 tb 3.5 back up drive. Works great, much faster than the usb 3 set up I previously had with my MacPro. It stays connected and and senses when the computer powers up then to powers both the drives. It automatically powers down when you turn off the computer. A Very good purchase.

I have had a LaCie TB SSD used as a second boot-drive for my iMac for several years with absolutely zero problems. So when I gave my granddaughter a MacBook Pro I chose a similar LaCie TB/USB3 Ext. SSD for her to use to backup her system using Carbon Copy Cloner. Since it's a Mac I used the Mac's Disk Utility Program to properly format the drive, rather than the included LaCie software. It was an easy set-up and the resulting clone can be used as a boot drive should it become necessary. Having been burned by HDD failures, I always backup. This 500GB drive will more than adequate for all her school files, and when cloned to a fast SSD more than enough for even a complete computer failure. Even if the computer is stolen this external drive kept in a dorm room will be worth its weight in gold!

I use this to connect my Sandisk 1 Tb drive from my Ninja V to my video editing computer. Transfer rate is fast.
