[QUOTE="Tutman, post: 889554, member: 87079"] My experience on three separate systems running Windows 10 Pro with 8 GB of ram on each, WD lags the system and does impact the performance. Yes we are using HDD. Which is NOT "legacy" BTW. The original HDD of the 1980's and 1990's were SCSI and slow and measured in size of around 40 mb and that is legacy. That is NOT the same HDD of today with gigabytes and terabytes. [SIZE=6][B]Changes in Storage Space Over Time[/B][/SIZE] The first hard disk drive (RAMAC 305 produced by IBM) back in 1956 could store [B]5MB[/B] of data, which was a huge amount at the time.
