Review: OK, It doesn't fit...but it does! - I took a chance that I could make this fit in my netbook. And it doesn't. But I made it fit. OK, here's what I did. I have a ACER One 722 netbook. Came with a stock 250 GB hard drive, which I immediately took out and replaced with a Samsung 1 TB Spinpoint bought on desertcart, with a fresh clean Windows 7 install about 2 years ago. That filled up quickly with my DJ tunes and tons of movies. When I saw this 2 TB WD hardrive for only $105 I wanted to try to see if I could make it fit. After reading all the complaints in the reviews I figured I could and if not I got a 2TB external HD. First off, the contacts fit perfectly, because the computer is a ribbon strip and can accommodate some latitude of a mm or two higher. Now if you are familiar with your netbook, you probably know the whole plastic bottom is attached with only one screw, to expose all the inner-eds. Just mount the 15mm 2 TB hard-drive as you would normally. Now try to reattach the bottom with the one screw...It will fit, trust me on this, but with a bit of a bulge on the bottom. And the wonderful thing about it, nobody but you know the bulge is even there. Now for me anyways, cloning was bit of challenge since the netbook has no optical drive to use Clonzilla as a boot disk to start the cloning process. And I didn't have enough USB inputs for the external optical burner (2) and the external case to put the 2 TB HD in for cloning, also (2). So I took a chance and tried a freeware cloning program from Freeware Files called AOMEI Backupper Standard Edition 2.0 which does not have to have a boot start with a CD. Took about 14 hrs to clone my 1 full TB to the new 2 TB drive. Now here is where I had to jump thru hoops to get it recognized by the computer. When I powered up the netbook, C drive only showed 1 TB, not the 2 TB. So I used the default Windows My Computer, Disk Management to set the unallocated 1 TB part to at least now show in My Computer as an additional 1TB drive "D". Next I used EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition to merge the partitions into one 2 TB, and viola! Done! One other note I would like to make. I also have a 17' Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7340 quad core. So I checked to see if it would fit. Well guess what? It doesn't fit...But it does!!! I took out the 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint also bought at desertcart, it also with a fresh Windows 7 install. I tried to make it fit and as with my Acer Netbook, it slid right in too. I then screwed the one screw back in place, and low and behold it too will have a 2 TB 15mm HD...of course with a manageable slight buldge on the bottom that no one will see anyway. So my advice...try it! I doesn't fit...but it does!
Review: Excellent Drive for Massive Portable Storage - The drive itself is heavy due to the amount of platters in the drive. It is excellent if you want a small drive with big storage. You need to make sure you use an enclosure that is capable of 15 mm drives. I used an Oyen MiniPro enclosure with SS3.0/ESATA. It's performance is around 107 mb/s write and 105 mb/s read with either eSATA 6 and SS 3.0 using Crystal DiskMark and file transfer observations. Which is about average for a small drive. In comparison to the WD Black 750 gb for example, I can usually get 126 mb/s write and 122 mb/s read. Not much slower. The drive spins at 5200 rpm according to Crystal DiskInfo. I wish it had read and write statistics like most newer drives do, such as the amount written and read like the WD Black 750 gb and WD Black 500 gb drives do. The amount of heat it produces is the same as the WD Black. So far I've filled it up about 3/4 of the way and no bad sectors or issues with it yet.

## Features

- Cooler and quieter - WD Green is simple high capacity storage that runs cooler and quieter than traditional 7200 RPM drives.
- Eco-conscious design manufactured lead free, halogen free and with conflict free materials
- These drives are 15mm high, and will not fit into laptops/notebooks
- 2TB capacity holds up to 400,000 digital photos, 500,000 MP3 files, and 240 hours of HD video.
- 2 year limited warranty

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, not-so-little 2.5" drive...
*by B***E on December 16, 2013*

Ok, first off, it's chunky. Don't buy this if you're looking to squeeze it into a laptop, because it's likely not going to fit. If however, you're like me and you're looking for a small efficient high-capacity drive to include in your desktop system, then this one's the ticket. I live in a county where I pay US$0.41/kWh, so every Watt I can save counts.
