Q: QuestionHow many RPMs does this have?
Asked by jukeboxjohnny67.
- A:Answer I havent found any datasheet even from WD that included the RPM. From using the drive it seems quite fast as long as its on a usb3 connection. Copied a 1GB movie to it in about 1.5-2 ish seconds. Did a full backup from an older laptop with a 1TB SSD to it of about 300GB in about 15 mins(it had alot of small files for 3d printing so that part did slow down slightly). For the price its def worth it IMO especially if you need a physically small drive as its shorter in height than the WD 2TB passports I have.

Q: QuestionIs this HD compatible with USB C?
Asked by JR.
- A:Answer Not with the included USB 3.0 micro-B to USB-A cable (you'll need a USB-C adapter or a different cable). If you get a USB-C to USB 3.0 micro-B cable it will work at USB 3.0 speed. Not sure if Best Buy sells that cable, but I purchased some from a tribe of warrior women, so they are available. I've used them with several different portable SSD and HDD models on my Win10 gaming laptop and Chromebook. Just make sure it's a USB 3.0 micro-B cable (not a USB 2.0 charging cable, which will be much slower). See included picture. I've also used USB 3.0 A to C adapters, which work fine as well (female USB 3.0 type-A to USB-C). Note that USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, and USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports are capable of much faster speeds, but a USB 3.0 drive will max out at 5Gbps regardless (and you're not going to get anywhere near that speed with a hard drive anyway).

Q: QuestionIs this a SMR or PMR drive? https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/Storage/PMR_SMR_hard_disk_drives
Asked by Joe.
- A:Answer I don't know. However WD has published an extensive list of their drives which identifies what type they are, CMR, SMR, or PMR. You will have to open up the case to identify the specific drive which voids the warranty. I have 5 of these drives and each one reports a different architecture using Speecy diagnostics. Speecy doesn't read the actual magnetics schema. Sorry.
