 This is a state-of-the-art hard drive from Western Digital. Now, it's not quite their fastest. This is a WD Caviar Blue Series drive. Their fastest consumer level 7200 rpm drives are actually their black series of drives, but it does include the latest technologies in that. Hold on a second. I'm doing the unboxing portion of the video now. It is now unboxed. Do not eat this, please. Okay. Oh, hold on. Where'd it go? Where'd the information go? Oh, the information was actually on this label. Aha! Okay, so the NCIX label tells us that... we can never focus on it. Hello, over here. Thank you. Okay, so this is a Western Digital WD Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 6 gigabit per second 7200 rpm drive. So this ordinary-looking SATA interface back here, this is a regular SATA power, but this is not an ordinary SATA interface. This is not SATA 1, not SATA 2, but actually SATA 3 6 gigabit per second capable drive. Now, what this means for performance is probably not a whole lot, but if you do want to plug it into your SATA 6 gigabit per second motherboard, and that will be satisfying to you, then you can buy this SATA 6 gigabit per second hard drive, and that will be satisfying to you. Now, in the event that you do have any difficulty running this drive on a SATA 3 gigabit per second, that is SATA 2 3 gigabit per second port, you can actually jumper pins 5 and 6, so that is these two here, 5 and 6. Okay, and you can jumper those two ports in order to limit it to 3 gigabit per second, and that should increase compatibility. Now, also bear in mind about this drive is that another one of the ways it is advanced is the fact that it uses advanced format. So advanced format drives require additional installation steps. Please check your drive label to determine if your drive has advanced format, and hold on a minute, I don't actually know if this is an advanced format drive. So it turns out that yes, this is indeed an advanced format drive. So what you'll want to do is make sure you go to the... please focus, focus, there you go, here's the hand, focus on the hand. So make sure that you go to the... looks like the instructions are actually covered by this label, which is awesome. Whatever, if you go to the Western Digital website, it will walk you through all of the additional things you may need to do. Aha, at wdc.com slash adv format, advanced format, and that'll tell you what you need to do to make sure that your drive is running 100%. So thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the WD Caviar Blue SATA 3 6 gigabit per second drive.
