Hard drive replacement for my Imac
||Posted .Instead of having my 21" Imac upgraded at the Apple store I purchased the Mainstream 1TB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive at best buy and did it myself. Well to be exact I let my son do the work as it has been his passion for many years. Not only did it save me around $175, but I upgraded from 500 gig to 1TB so it was a double win.

Perfect for a startup Drobo storage device
||Posted .I needed this to fill a drive bay slot in my Drobo USB storage device. It "fit the bill" without flaw. It's a smaller Drobo than the others I own and the 1TB capacity was exactly what I required.

Perfect for a quick NAS fix
||Posted .In my ideal world, I would walk into the store and pick up a 4TB WD RED hard drive for my Drobo. This is not ideal and I had a bad drive so placing an order online wasn't going to happen. I needed a drive and I needed it fast. The 1TB WD was the best drive Best Buy had in store so I went for it. I'm happy that my Drobo excepted the drive and it's been working flawlessly for a few weeks now. I'm happy with the speed I've been getting from my Drobo using these drives. I really don't have anything bad to say other than I wish I would have had the opportunity to pick up a bigger drive the same day.

Q: QuestionHow to acquire Acronis True ImageOnce the hdd is purchased how does one go about getting the Acronis True Image cloning software? Is this a trial only offer for Acronis software?
Asked by Spencerman.
- A:Answer You download the Acronis software from WD's site. It is a limited version that allows you to clone drives and work with partitions. I think that you would need to pay for the full version to be able to do more extensive drive work and to backup and restore drive images on a scheduled basis.

Q: Questioncomparing 2 WD driveswhat one would you recomend the WD Mainstream 1TB(Model: WDBH2D0010HNC-NRSN) or the WD BLUE 1TB (Model: WD10EZEX)
Asked by ed.
- A:Answer I would go with the WD10EZEX. That's what I use and I have no issues with it. If you are a computer gamer and you play games a lot on your computer I would recommend you to look into the WD1003FZEX. Basically the black edition is faster processing speed. Blue is for every day use and green is for the once in awhile use. I recommend staying black or blue color hard drives.

Q: QuestionWould this drive be recommended for use on a gamer compared to the 'Black' model?
Asked by Sentinel.
- A:Answer For gaming I always stick to the black models. Hard drive latency seems to be lower on the blacks. The blues are great for storage. Will the blue be able to play games? Yes. Will it perform as well as the black? No. These days if you're going to game, I highly suggest looking into solid state drives.

Q: QuestionMy hdd is totally clean and has no boot media will this boot it 5o the bios? ??
Asked by Ladyalison.
- A:Answer No. This will not.Your BIOS has nothing to do with what drives are in your system. You don't even need a drive of any kind attached to access your BIOS. This is usually done by tapping the Delete, F2, or other key depending on your system. (30 years working with computers)
