This HD works exactly how it should and for its price you cant really beat it! only thing id say is to prepare yourself for when SSD start becoming more affordable and popular (they are already really popular). SSD is much faster (instant) becuase it has no spinning disk in it meaning that it wont slow down. But as of right now you still want a HD for everything you dont need at instant access. But yeah, great buy, solid build and works as expected
