Store edited photos, videos, and games on this 3.5-inch Western Digital hard drive. It has dynamic cache for optimizing allocation between reads and writes, and there's plenty of space to store files with its 3TB capacity.

It's a hard drive what more can be said?

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wish that Best Buy would actually label these Western Digitals with their actual product color IE:
WD Black: Fastest of the bunch, built for performance
WD Blue: Middle of the road in terms of speed and performance
WD Green: Energy saver+ slowest in seek times and performance
WD Red: Built for NAS use only so not applicable here
This drive is the WD Green which I had no way of knowing until I got the product home and unboxed it. I would also like Best Buy to become more competitive on pricing, not labeling what this drive truly is doesn't allow the consumer to actually see if they are getting a value or paying the same price for what a different series drive would go for elsewhere. I understand the convenience factor of being able to walk into a store and pick the product up off the shelf but there are a lot of eTailers out there that offer next day delivery for practically the price of tax of the item so that's not really a selling point.
All in all, the drive works as intended I just feel at the price that I paid it should've at least been a Blue series drive.
My Best Buy number: 0758398930
My Best Buy number: 0758398930
What's great about it: Works as intended, tons of space
What's not so great: Only 5400RPM
I would recommend this to a friend!

new new hard drive for my compaq presario sr1711nx

I just dont know what ones will fit so could you give me a list of ones that will fit my computer?

That's the website where we learn that your motherboard is a ASUS A8AE-LE which lists the limits of your motherboard, since the hard drive connector is a SATA connector it should be compatible with most drives out there. You should be able to go with something like a 1tb drive easily.

Hope this helps

If i change the hard drive will my computer run better

That depends on your computer spec's and what drive you would be upgrading to. If your current Hard Drive is a slower model (the speed of the drive is 5400rpm) then you could see an increase in performance by going with a 7200rpm drive. If you are running out of space on your current drive then getting a larger amount of space may help you as well. If you already have something like a 7200rpm drive then perhaps your bottleneck isn't the drive speed but the amount of RAM in your PC. Ram is insanely cheap now a days and very easy to replace. Just google your motherboard to see how much RAM your computer can support and verify using Windows properties to see how much you currently have.

Hope this helps.
