    Good fast pretty quiet HDD, but for long copy have to use cooling pad - temperature gets high. Recommended by WD = 35 Celsius : get high till 45-47! Will not last long like that. Plus - 3 years warranty warms my heart ;-) Included Software is pathetic pretty much. WD- it is 21 century already! Come on.
