Excellent Value
I benchmarked this drive, using Crystal Disc Mark, at 88 MB/sec Sequential Read speed and 90 MB/sec Sequential Write speed with up to 4 GB file size in the mid sector of the drive. Very respectable speed for a budget drive.
I bought this hard drive because it was the largest of the budget hard drives; When I purchased it, speed was a secondary concern; Storage was my primary concern; When I pulled the old hard drive out of my laptop I discovered that it was also a Western Digital Blue hard drive from the Scropio line.
Not the fastest hard drive available in its price range; 8 MB, very low cache for a hard drive; Only 5400 RPM
