Partitioned the drive with Diskpart.exe prior to installing Windows 7. This eliminates the 200mb system partition. After installing the operating system, I used Gparted to shrink the OS partition to 40GB & create various other primary partitions. Running Windows 7 from this small partition delivers increased responsiveness & makes it easy to keep clean & defragged. This WD Black® is quiet, fast & well engineered. I LIKE IT. . . IT'S NICE! {:-D>

EXOS discs are a SYSTEM ADMIN's DREAM! LONG lasting (MTBF), Exceptional data throughput for SATA (much higher with SAS), super warranty and energy efficient. Built for ENTERPRISE level reliability in demanding production data environments like: Transactional Databases, Email Servers, NAS/SAN Storage, Application Servers, Surveillance Storage Servers and Domain Controllers. Despite their cost they also are great for high demand workstations. Disc level encryption on selected models makes disc retirement easier and more secure.
Works great, does the job.
Added it to my NAS computer, did a full format, checked with Stablebit Scanner, and added files. No complaints.
- Was easy to install, format and is quiet enough for me desktop, similar sound level to many WD HDD's I've used in the past decades. - A great value ($219-$249 price range) for 16TB of data storage (14.5TB after Windows 10 Formatting). - I only go with new not renewed hard drives.
