    Not a screamer, just reliable. But no 5400rpm drive is a screamer, and WD blue's have always been reliable for me.

    This hard-drive fits perfect for my Toshiba! And there has not been a problem in its operation since installed by "Geek Squad experts! It certainly nice to know that Best Buy has replaceable hard drives to maintain you current computer, while you are saving for a more expensive one. As a student, the replacement fit my budget and enabled me to continue to get my assignments in on time! Thanks Best Buy!

    Been using WD for years, although this drive was a replacement for a personal laptop I am a computer tech and use WD all the time. This drive was very easy to setup and very quiet when running. Tried using some lower quality drives to save money before only to find out the computer had issues reading or seeing the drive after installation but I cant say I have ever had that problem with a WD drive.
