    Original HD died, simply unplugged the old one and plugged this one in and rebuilt the laptop without issue. That was months ago! Just as good as the old one and storing more stuff than I could store before. Without HD failure, it's still an affordable HD upgrade if you know what your doing to rebuild your laptop.

    It was a good purchase because it was a very thin drive, and felt that it gave a good performance while using it with windows 10 on my laptop. Also I felt it did not heat up as much as other hard disks do. It had to do with being thinner than other hard disks of its size, since placing the hard disk on a metal bracket, and so it gave it some space from having the hard disk surface touch the inside flat surface of the laptop. It was 3gbs/second transfer rate, and I think the speed was 5400rpm, and it was also AF (advanced format) for about 52 dollars. It served its purpose, it was not refurbished, and it looked like a legitimate hard disk for a laptop and not one of those hard disks that are manufactured for placing in external usb hdd enclosures, and so I say it so you know you will be expecting to get a completely new hard disk from western digital brand.

    Bought a HD because I needed a scratch drive for all my media files. This has worked no problems on my older Mac Pro 5,1. I also use this drive as my boot drive when using Apple's bootcamp during sessions I need to use Windows 10.

    I bought this drive last minute because I ran out of space on my SSD. I ran to the store, bought it, and put it into my desktop (not realizing it was specifically meant for a laptop). The drive formatted and initialized super fast and has great read/ write speeds. I have already put about 200GB of data on it and everything has worked great so far. No complaints.
