    I have only used WD Blue drives when adding hard drives over the past decade. I just loaded this one into my PC and did a clean install of Windows 10 from a USB drive. As always, Windows is up to full speed and my larger hard drives are allocated for storage. My MOBO and RAM are very happy that nearly all processes are resource light.
