  • Heats up a bit.
  • Though late, Western Digital has finally entered the 1 TB party. Before you start calling up your hardware dealer, we would like to tell you that this is a performance hard drive and WD is targeting gamers and enthusiasts. The drive is therefore more e...

  • Chauffe : 48.4° Max, Bruit en fonctionnement avec et sans AAM
