[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 812625"] This is my experience as well. Currently using WD on 1809, when I boot up the computer (fast boot disabled) the log in screen pops up faster and after I enter my pin, its virtually instant to the desktop. When I use 3rd parties, there's a definite lag from the time I enter my pin, to the time I see the desktop. Same goes for opening programs. Chrome and the new edge browser for example open instantly and I am able to start surfing right away. With 3rd parties there's a definite lag when opening these same programs and the time it takes before I can start surfing. Furthermore I don't have folders full of exe's as I think it's a waste of space, as I can just simply redownload them if I need them. File transfers for me have been very quick, but even then I don't do that very often. Aside from those 2 things that WD is known to slow things down, virtually everything else is just as fast if not faster than most 3rd parties in my experience.:) [/QUOTE]
