It may not blow your socks off but it does the job
If you have realistic expectations you won't have any complaints. I am using this WD drive in an external with the intention of eventually using it in my Mac Mini for music storage. Even though I've had it a shortime I'm confident it will remain reliable for years to come - most of us know poor quality HHDs sounds like at start up- That is why it deserves five stars. It's not an SSD and you may not want to put it in your laptop as the main boot but it deserves five stars because it does it's job. *****
