00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:06.120
this is a state-ofthe-art hard drive

00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:12.240
from Western Digital now it's not quite their fastest this is a wd caviar blue

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:18.080
series Drive their fastest consumer level 7200 RPM drives are actually their

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:24.199
black series of drives but it does include the latest Technologies in

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:30.359
that hold on a second I'm doing the unboxing portion of the video now it is

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:30.359
now unboxed

00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:36.440
do not eat this please

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:41.960
okay oh hold on where' it go where did

00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:48.840
the information go oh the information was actually on

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:52.160
this label aha okay so the ncx label

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.440
tells us that we can ever focus on it

00:00:52.160 --> 00:01:01.320
hello over here thank you okay so this is a Western Digital WD caviar blue 1

00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:04.320
tbte SATA 6 gabit per second in 7200 RPM

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:08.920
drive so this ordinary looking SATA interface back here this is a regular

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:15.640
SATA power but this is not an ordinary SATA interface this is not SATA 1 not

00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:18.600
SATA 2 but actually SATA 3 6 gbit per

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:23.759
second capable drive now what this means for performance is probably not a whole

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:29.240
lot but if you do want to plug it into your SATA 6 GB per second motherboard

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.360
and that will be satisfying to you then you can buy this this SATA 6 gbit per

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:38.799
second hard drive and that will be satisfying to you now in the event that

00:01:36.759 --> 00:01:46.200
you do have any difficulty running this drive on a SATA 3 gbit per second that

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:49.200
is SATA 2 3 gbit per second Port you can

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:52.200
actually jumper pins five and six so

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:54.560
that is these two here five and six okay

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:59.079
and you can jumper those two ports in order to limit it to 3 gbit per second

00:01:57.039 --> 00:02:03.119
and that should increase compatibility now also bear in mind about this drive

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:07.799
is that another one of the ways it is Advanced is the fact that it uses

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:09.679
Advanced format so Advanced format

00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.800
drives require additional installation steps please check your drive label to

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.120
determine if your drive has advanced format and hold on a

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:21.560
minute I don't actually know if this is an advanced format drive so it turns out

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:26.480
that yes this is indeed an advanced format drive so what you'll want to do

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:31.319
