Well Windows Vista installation times are still fastest with an SSD drive, but the WD AV-GP 2TB drive still holds its own in that category. Boot times are only really second apart and are one of the closest scores almost all systems we test here. COD4 Installation also shows very close scores in real world testing. The WD AV-GP 2TB drive shows to be a very competitive hard drive, even against its own enterprise hard drives and the Kingston SSD. The new WD AV-GP 2TB Drive only took 12 minutes, only 2 minutes more of your time to install Vista, this is a good score, and especially when compared to the SSD drives ultra fast 9 minutes.
