That covers Dell OptiPlex, HP ProDesk and EliteDesk, Lenovo ThinkCentre and other OEM towers, custom desktop builds, external enclosures and docks, NVR and DVR security recorders, and entry-level NAS units. It works with Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Use it for capacity, archives, and secondary storage. If you want a fast boot drive, pair it with an SSD and use this for bulk files. Any single drive is a single point of failure, so keep an independent backup of anything you cannot lose. If the drive fails within the warranty window, return it for a replacement or refund.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the WD10EZEX an SMR drive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a conventional CMR drive, so write performance stays consistent as the drive fills and it behaves correctly in a RAID array.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the 7200 RPM version or the 5400 RPM version?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7200 RPM. The 5400 RPM WD Blue at this capacity carries the WD10EZRZ model number. This drive is WD10EZEX.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it as a boot drive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Windows, macOS, and Linux all install to it directly. An SSD boots faster, but this drive works as a full system drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need a SATA III controller?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The drive negotiates down to SATA II and SATA I automatically.
