Reviews around value (5.00 of 5)

  • Buy as much storage as you can afford, not just how much you think you can get by with.
  • They are the best value for your buck and work great for everything..
  • For most consumer uses, the 5400 RPM Western Digital Green drives are a better value because they offer at least double the capacity for the same price
