## Questions & Answers

**Q: Help.  Bought a new custom built Windows 8 PC, bought a WD 2TB black drive.  But Windows 8 PC won't see the drive.  It's not even showing under disk mgmt.  Any ideas guys?  Really appreciate your help.  the power is connected since the driver is hot.  The sata cable is connected too.**
A: I agree with TechBob, I doubt its DOA.  You may also try resetting your BIOS to default and see if it then recognizes the drive in Windows 8.  Try a different SATA cable, or switch them around.  Try reinstalling or installing the Intel AHCI driver.  I use a great program called Advanced System Optimizer for ensuring all drivers are up to date.  Also, make sure you have all of the Windows updates...including the select optional ones. I hope this helps.

**Q: What's the difference between the WD4003FZEX been also sold here in Amazon.com and this one?**
A: It's all in the specifications from wdc.com. The wd4003FZEX has a higher sustained data transfer rate (171MB/sec) than the wdc4001FAEX (154MB/sec). That is the time to get data from the drive to the computer. Most of us would not see the difference except high end gamers and power users. Speed is money.

**Q: This is a REAL FAEX ?**
A: Hi C.L., thanks for your answer. I've heard that the NEW models (FZEX) perform worst than the old "generation" (FAEX), that's the reason for being cheaper. I do agree with you, I prefer the Black generation, it's more reliable and faster than RED, GREEN and BLUE. I only have a pair of Green on a second NAS, all others HDD are Black (NAS and PCs) and I thrust very much on those FAEX, never had any issue on them. Thanks again.

**Q: Does this connect to a SATA 3 cable?**
A: Short Answer: Yes.  It connects to SATA III cables. The SATA III refers to the transfer rate of data.SATA 3: 6 Gb/s  SATA 2: 3 Gb/sSATA 1: 1.5 Gb/sThe highest, SATA 3, is backwards compatible with previous versions, but to get the best speeds, you'd likely need to use a SATA 3 cable, which would be rated for the higher speeds. I have standard SATA cables and have had no issues. Similarly, the port you plug into would also make a difference in the maximum data transfer speeds achieved.
