    My daughter's Mac Book Pro hard drive dropped. She needed for a project that she was working on. I watched a video online on how to swap out the drives. It was a piece of cake to swap them out. Best Buy had the drive in stock and the price was in line with other re sellers. The drive was installed and I re installed Mavericks and she was able to finish her project.

    When my hard drive crashed, all my friends said I was crazy to repair my old computer. But I liked the size and was used to the keyboard so I went ahead and had the new hard drive installed and it's even better than the original! No complaints. For $135.00, I have a "brand new" computer, and didn't have to spend more money and time looking for a new machine.

    This is a great laptop replacement drive, It stays cool, even under full load. 5400 rpm is a normal speed, but even with this small 320 gig, speeds are far better than a 4200 rpm drive. No noise, cool, and quick response times are normal for Western Digital. I have used this drive with a SSD hard drive adapter in Desktop applications were space was limited.
