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. When paired with an SSD for a dual-drive configuration, you’ll further benefit from the caching of your OS onto the SSD for increased performance.
This 10TB drive operates using a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a 256MB cache, and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, all of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a sustained rate of up to 263 MB/s. 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 replaced a failed green WD 2TB drive with this black WD 4TB. It’s fast and quiet. Hopefully it will last longer than the green drive. It took 12 full days to recover 1.5TB, (43049 photo files) from Carbonite online backup service, at their governed snails pace download speed.

Installed easily and working well for several months. Slightly noiser than other drives, but not a problem. So far I am pleased with this purchase.

This drive has been performing very well so far. It is a replacement of the original 320GB Seagate on a 2008 Mac Pro. The reason for the purchase was for the much needed space, and for video and photo editing. This hard drive is perfect for this. It is inexpensive. The computer is now operating much more smoothly; it is incredibly quieter; and boot up is a lot faster! The reviews on this drive helped with making the purchase.

Fairly fast high performing. Works well for internal storage as well as for external storage with a USB dock. We use several for a variety of purposes. Some are used for backup. Some are used for additional storage.

This retail product is the same as WD1003FZEX and better price than OEM bare drive.

Really frustrated that a reputable company would put out a product that falls so far short. Now I have to do a bunch of paperwork and running around to get a replacement.

I bought this for a gaming/game production PC, and it does its job well. It’s fast for an HDD.

I have three of the 6TB and two 4TB WD Black drives that I purchased in the last few years and never had a problem with any of them. Excellent drives. They do run hot tho, make sure you have good airflow in your case!

I bought a new computer and added this extra hard drive. No problems installing, and it appears to be working correctly. Time will tell. I have used other WD drives (internal and external) with no problems.

Bought this to go along with the 6TB WD Black HDD in my Plex server. Now I have room for some 4K UHD videos. No complaints!

I use this drive in my Drobo 5D, which is my main storage device for my graphic & web design company. It’s attached to my old Mac Pro (upgrading to the new Mac Pro when it’ released in December). Compatible, easy to install, fast & reliable.

Have had Caviar Blacks for 5 years and just upgraded size in PC. This new drive is quicker and I anticipate will last and while I’ve never had a failure,if it doesn’t, the 5 year warranty will kick in.

We use this HD in our surveillance systems. WD Black HDs truly excel in both performance and reliability. I give 5 stars to B & H as well. They have never let me down.

I have been using WD Black desktop drives across two desktops for data storage for several years. I currently have 8 in use. In additon to great performace they are backed by a 5-year warranty, which is the best in this class of drives. All drives, regardless of brand, may (and likely will) fail at some point in time. WD’s no-nonense system for replacement makes this drive a great choice. You will pay more than you will for some of their other varieties, but in terms of overall performance, you do get what you pay for. I am not a fan of so-called green drives, which go to sleep when not in use. This can be an issue in situations of heavy use, where instant acess is required at all times.

I prefer my WD’s to Segate because I find them more reliable. I use this one for video and photo editing with very good speeds

The HTPC I am running had (2) 1.5TB WD Green drives that had a been re-used on a couple computer builds. The age of the drives may result in data loss so replacing the drives was a smart move. The 1.5 TB drives have moved to data back-up. A single drive to replace (2) drives is a great advantage.
