- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 7200 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Form Factor: 3.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: How to acquire Acronis True Image
A: You download the Acronis software from WD's site. It is a limited version that allows you to clone drives and work with partitions. I think that you would need to pay for the full version to be able to do more extensive drive work and to backup and restore drive images on a scheduled basis.
A: I would go with the WD10EZEX. That's what I use and I have no issues with it. If you are a computer gamer and you play games a lot on your computer I would recommend you to look into the WD1003FZEX. Basically the black edition is faster processing speed. Blue is for every day use and green is for the once in awhile use. I recommend staying black or blue color hard drives.
Q: Is it compatible with a ps4?
A: Yes, very much so. Only thing is that you have to reformat the drive so that the PS4 can detect it. Took less than 5 min on a PC.
A: Yes, this is compatible with that brand of desktop PC.
A: Yes the drive will work I a dell system. You might need extra cables if you are planning on using software to move the old drive to the new drive. Otherwise you will need to reinstall everything manually or use a dell recovery disk.
Q: Would this drive be recommended for use on a gamer compared to the 'Black' model?
A: For gaming I always stick to the black models. Hard drive latency seems to be lower on the blacks. The blues are great for storage. Will the blue be able to play games? Yes. Will it perform as well as the black? No. These days if you're going to game, I highly suggest looking into solid state drives.
A: Of course, you need. You should backup your data before replacing the old driver.
Q: My hdd is totally clean and has no boot media will this boot it 5o the bios? ??
A: No. This will not.Your BIOS has nothing to do with what drives are in your system. You don't even need a drive of any kind attached to access your BIOS. This is usually done by tapping the Delete, F2, or other key depending on your system. (30 years working with computers)
