## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this hard disk 7200 rpm?**
A: A generally reasonable question for a HDD, but not for AV discs. WD dont seem to publish the platter speed, but its between 5400 and 7200. What really relevent for AV discs is the sustained data transfer rate, between 110Mb/sec and 145Mb/sec depending on capacity for this range of WD's. The firmware is also optimised for video - its not about absolute data tranfer raes, but keeping up with a reasonably high throughput (to avoid dropping frames).

**Q: Warranty period**
A: 3.

**Q: Can this be used in a uhd-4x-500 arris freesat**
A: I don't know specifically BUT as far as I understand it, it could be used in any type of PVR device that takes a 3.5 inch HDD.

**Q: Could I use this in a pc?**
A: Yes it will work in a desktop PC :-)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very decent
*by W***S on 8 June 2024*

I purchased for use in my Dell 790 , it worked well and was easy to install , the computer still would not clear RAM though so I suspect something else had gone wrong , will keep as spare though as it has 500 Gb not like the original 250 Gb.
