Were there any special drivers you didn't install?

Did you use the installation software from wd to create the partition? Apparantly if you create the partition yourself through windows it will allign it wrong.

 

If you inadvertently delete the HDD partition, simply uninstall the software (it requires the HDD partition removed before it will proceed regardless), and then reinstall it to re-create the partition. I highly recommend letting the software do this as in my testing it creates that partition at a slightly different offset than Windows would by default. Operating on a Windows-created partition caused odd stutters and hiccups, and I suspect that was due to the beginning of that partition crossing over the SSD/HDD boundary. As a final note, the uninstallation process also re-shrinks the addressible space to that of the SSD, priming it for a fresh OS install without the worry of making the partition too large and crossing into the HDD address space.

Well, for that kind of money u get seperate faster ssd and more hdd space and you still have some money left

Its a pointless drive for that money.

 

Either way, as far as hdd is concernd... do a bench with crystaldiskmark, so we can see, what we are dealing with. Also exactly what kind of video files don't work ?

It might be because the Black2 was made rally for laptops that only have enough room for a single HDD. The HDD runs slower at 5200rps rather than 7200rps. Although this shouldn't really be a problem. What resolution films are you watching because that might be the problem. You might want to defrag your PC also. If this doesn't work and any of the other suggestions doesn't work I would ask for a refund a buy a different SSD and HDD. If you are on a laptop though then you should just buy an SSD on it's own.
