After multiple failures with the other guys, I only buy Western Digital. Green are ok if you’re trying to save power and don’t mind the lag while they spin up but the Black series is the one for fast response. Not as fast as SSD but only a fraction of the price when you need lots of space. Been using these for over a decade and won’t use anything else.

Really good product. Stays fairly cool and no issues so far!

Replaced internal 1tb 5400 rpm drives (3) in desktop computer. Immediate increase in system speed. Increased storage capacity is very welcome.

Had it up and running within 5 minutes. Transferred 7TB of data to the drive and its working beautifully.

Bought a pair of these for a RAID-1 setup. Drives tested out perfectly. Only concerning thing about these is the groaning on power-down which I noticed. Doing some research, it seems many other folks have complained about this to WD over past few years and there does not seem to be a fix nor an explanation.

Replaced a failed drive on an older computer running Windows 7. It’s quiet and working flawlessly. I’m very pleased with this unit so far. (It’s only been about a month at this point.)

Bought to add storage to my new custom desktop running Windows 10 off a SSD. Quick install, setup and off we go! Very fast!

I just added these to a build I put together for video production and they’ve made a tremendous impact on my workflow. Western Digital is a brand I have used in the past and they never disappoint. I highly recommend.

Using a secondary drive for Back-up data … WD still is my preferred drives

I bought 2 of the 6TB drives and had them sent to New Zealand. One just started making strange noises as soon as it was installed. It’s cost me a small fortune to send it back. The only reason I didn’t just give it 1 star is the working one seems quite fast and quiet. Hopefully the replacement can perform similarly.

Can’t go wrong with WD Black. In an age where SSD’s are standard, you still can’t get this kind of local space for the price. Don’t use this as a main drive of course 😉

I use the drives for photography backup. It is a 4 Gb drive, lots of storage. I purchased this type drive because of the quality of the drive and 5 yr. waranty. When installed, I noticed that it/they produce a bit more noise than I thought it/they would, for a drive with this high a rating.

I am using Western Digiital Caviar Black HDD for a long time. 5 years of warranty is very important marker for me to buy such drives. I am sure in reliable storage for my data, pictures and video.

Best upgrade for my Mac Pro systems boot drive.

I installed it as a secondary/backup hard drive on a Dell XPS 8700 that I recently purchased. After installation I used the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnosis software to test the hard drive, then I cloned the OS hard drive to the WD using the free WD Acronis software available on WD’s site.

Another great product from B&H. Arrived next day – free shipping. Retail packaging that was factory sealed. So far the drive has been working flawlessly and is fast. Very happy with this purchase.

Second WD Black HDD failure in just 2 weeks. WD used to be good and reliable. WD offered refurbished replacement only. So I pay $$for a new HD, and they offer me a refurbished replacement for my new HDD? WD just lost a long time customer.
