## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this drive run too hot in a PlayStation 4? i know it'll be faster than the stock one but it's the heat that i'm concerned about.**
A: Honestly i had the original hard drive in and played the ps4 for 3 days probably 3-4 hr sessions and it did get warm when i put in the western hard drive i really could not tell the difference it gets warm but never anything past what the orginal did

**Q: Will this work with a macbook pro mid 2012? and if i'm straining it, how hot could it get?**
A: Yes it will work. However,  if you are having issues with over heating and you hear your fan always running. I would replace the battery. Mine was over heating and the fan was always on. I replaced the battery and it's like a new MacBook Pro.

**Q: It works on my hp-f205dx laptop?**
A: The HP model you have there came with a 500gb Sata II 5400rpm drive while this newer model series is a 7200rpm Sata 3 6gb performer that will be backclocked somewhat to match up with the older Sata II bus as well as provide the faster access time simply from being a much faster drive to begin with. You won't get the Sata 3 performance however. But the drive will still work on the Sata II bus. The HP support page for the model laptop you have there can be seen at:  http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04696904#AbT0

**Q: are these new hardrives?**
A: Yes brand new, Marty....
