Is this Hard Drive good for gaming on P.C.?

I am not a gamer, but it is good for heavy graphics work, so it should work for that. Sorry, I really don't know the answer. I have been very satisfied with the product though.

Yes i'm not sure what calibre of games you intend on playing but I was able to play Far Cry 3 and EVE online on high fairly comfortably. Also yes for the 1 tb hard drive and 8gb ram just if i could make a statement you may want to invest in a better cooler system because my fan at least got very loud when playing said games which is very distracting if your trying to get immersed in the game.

Not at all.This is a terrible computer.I bought it upgraded the ram and hard drive and it barely ran.Heated super fast and could not run any game I threw at it.Buy a PC laptop if you're looking for a gaming laptop.

Possibly, and then it'll overheat and hard lock. You're better off building a desktop from newegg. My HDX18 started to hard lock playing Starcraft 2, so I built a desktop. Honestly that's the way to go. i7 3770K with a solid state drive, and a Geforce GTX 660, and I've never been happier. The solid state drives are actually affordable now, and a huge game changer. My boot time is incredible. SSD with a 2TB traditional hard drive for media, is just incredible. If I had the money I'd have everything on an SSD. I didn't even need to overclock my cpu (yet) because everything is instant. The HDX is a solid and fast computer for standard software, but not for gaming.

Should work fine I have the 4GB slim and I added this drive. So far I haven't needed to install any games cause most of mine are older. But I have been installing the free xbox live gold games with no issues. So a game with install should not have a problem with this drive.

Yes. That is what I use mine for (PS CC), although the OC is a little overkill for your needs, OC is mainly for gaming.

I am not sure. .... I will say it has been fine for normal laptop use, but I cannot answer for gaming. I think it is really stable to be honest. I have not had any issues with downloading or uploading.

Basically, no. It's more than adequate for a lot of games available in the Windows Store, but if you want to play really graphically intensive games, you could easily wind up getting a lot of CPU lag or having to turn down your resolution. Two other considerations lead me to characterize this computer as a poor gaming rig. One, without an optical drive, installation and play can be a bit of a hassle. Two, Windows 8 eats a lot of memory by itself and the lack of support for XP-based software is a real barrier to playing older games. For example, I got Red Alert 3 to install okay, but W8 doesn't handle the game well at runtime at all. It's prone to crashing and so laggy that the game is entirely unplayable. That said, if your interest is in games with relatively low CPU/GPU demand and are intended for the Windows 8 platform, you should be fine. Otherwise, as a gaming rig, my review of this computer is lukewarm at best. That said, I'm still entirely satisfied with this machine, and it offers excellent value for its price point.

Absolutely. That's what it's meant for. With its high quality NIC, sound card, overclocking features, SLI/CF support, etc... it's completely designed to be used for gaming and it's been working very well for me.

Yes, but you should probably buy a drive more compatible with your workstation, unless you have built a super-balls-out gaming system or media server.

I am not sure, maybe check there website. But I have been using this drive for three years in a gaming PC and it works flawlessly.

You will need a hard drive. Very cheap right now on Newegg.com (2tB for $80.00 US.)

I believe it is possible to use with a PS system. check and match with your current HD before buying and getting screwed.

No, this CPU is good for web browsing or watching movies and you can play the games that are not consume too much power. It is not design for hard core gaming.

No, this is a NAS, aka a file server, it doesn't have the processing power for a gaming server, particularly a minecraft server ( I am assuming from the username ). You would do better with something of this sort : http://www.amazon.com/Dell-PowerEdge-2850-3-0GHz-Gigabit/dp/B005F0M9D6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1352252881&sr=8-6&keywords=server

This drive only has a thunderbolt port, so if the game systems have that port then it's a go. This drive does not have a USB port

Yes. From what I heard, the only thing this hard drive will not do is play original Xbox games but I can't personally verifiy that.
