Designed for digital artists, video editors, photographers, gamers, system builders, and more, the 10TB WD_BLACK Performance SATA III 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive from WD is optimized for drive performance so you can spend more time experiencing the things you love most.

This drive also features high levels of reliability, with 300,000 load/unload cycles and <1 in 1014 non-recoverable read errors per bits read. Also built into this drive are WD’s StableTrac and Dynamic Cache Technology to help increase reliability and optimize performance.

I use it as a Desktop Main Drive. One may use it as a backup external drive with SATA enclosure (not included)as well. Most of the time I buy from B & H. Shop around and you will come back to B & H to place your order. Very courteous and professional staff to my experience.

This was the second one I bought. Unfortunately the first one was from another retailer and OEM. IT was noisy,VERY HOT and slow. At least has the speed I was looking for. But with all the hype I really expected better.

I purchased this drive to replace a similar (green) drive that I had purchased for use on a Drobo unit. The green drive did not seem to be able to handle the Drobo operations whereas the Black drive both installed without too many issues and seems to working fine. It seems the black drive is more up to the task of operating in the Drobo environment, at least this large of a drive.

Every WD black drive i have bought so far is perfect and reliable. No complaints. TIme will tell if they last, but I have a sense they will.

Excellent upgrade. But, make sure your Windows10 operating system and computer BIOS are compatible with hard drives greater than 2TB.

fast as far as Hard Drives (platters) go. Sometimes can be a little loud when accessing, but definitely not a deal breaker. Came in retail packaging in well padded shipping box. Plugged it in and immediately copied 1.5tb worth of data to it in much less time than I would have expected, and all is working well!

Western Digital Blacks are great hard drives. Great for storage. When this package arrived, it came in a bigger box with other stuff that I had ordered from here. No bubble wraps to protect any of the products inside. This was not a good thing. Hard drives are easily damaged if it were to bounce around during shipping. Geezes, don’t cheap out on packing now. Luckily, it still worked.

I’ve relied on WD Caviar drives for over a decade and each release has been better and just as reliable in my experience. They’re fast and come with WD’s best consumer warranty, 5 years. This version is also quieter than the previous model and about 30% faster by my estimation. I bought two and they’re running nicely in a software RAID 0 inside a Hackintosh (home-built PC running Macintosh OS) used for video editing.

Upgraded mirrored O/S from SATA II to SATA III with 32G SanDisk SSD cache for Windows 10. Great price from B&H with 5 year warranty. System really runs fast and smooth. Finally a good O/S worthy of Microsoft.
