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.

One of my internal HD’s died……so I’m replacing it with this. After 1 month it is doing very well. Hope it last a nice long time. LOL!

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.

The first one I received had a noisy rattle. I returned this and purchased another. The second also has a rattle, but not as loud. Both cured the crashing of my desktop PC.

Once my trouble shooting convinced me that the secondary internal hard drive had to be replaced, I ordered the WD internal DRV from B&H. It arrived quickly and I installed it in a few minutes. The 4TB gave me a lot of space to move caches, backups, and seldom used programs from the (C:) drive into the (D:) drive. No more red warnings about running out of space in the former.

These work great for our video editing. Rarely have issues.

Needed a larger C HDD for my desktop. Installed this as D and Cloned C to it and then switched. Install went smoothly and it is working well as expected. However, a better review will be if I can say the same thing in another 3 or 4 years.

3 minute install after you dig out your computer and open it to reveal your internal drives. Yeah, it is that easy to install. But wait: I am replacing a failed WD 4T internal SATA drive before its warranty period expired. My MAC Pro warnings provided me with enough time to transfer all of my files from the failing drive to an external drive before any data was lost. This is the only WD drive to fail me in 35 years.

Needed an extra internal drive to install new Mac OS X Elcapitan. This did the trick. B & H provided Great service , delivered on time, and a quick-easy install. Thank you.

The hard drive is often the weakest link in a computer, with this WD Black 4TB 7200 rpm I really increased the opening of my folders and photo files, almost instantly! My old hard drive was spinning at 7200 rpm but never had the speed of my new one, how long will it last in time? I also find it silent. Very good service from B&H, I order from Quebec.

I buy these and use these often at home and at work. In my experience these fail far less often than Seagate and the price is reasonable.

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.

Some complain of nose. My computer case is open and very close (3 feet, 1 meter from my ear) and I find no problem with noise. My location is very quite.

WD produces top of the line HDD, not problem at that. However, for new HDDs, they implemented this PWL which suppose to improve longivity of the products. It sounds nice, and yeah it sounds freaking annoying. It causes HDDs to click every 5 seconds even if they are on idle. It is not just the faint clicking you use to hear when they are working, no, it shurks hard that it moves the case so is my desk. I can just feel the vibration. And it constantly keep doing it for every 5 seconds. I bought 2 4 TB and 1 6TB, all does it. So freaking annoying. There is no way a person can stand that in a quiet room. All of mine made in Thailand, I am not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I checked online and it has been the problem since 3 yrs ago. So make sure you know what you are getting. Considering the fantastic return policy BH provides, but it is very annoying for the process. Button line, keep your box so you might need to use it for the return. Fedex charges ridiculous amount for packging. I miss UPS days.

Nice drive, however it does make a little clicking noise. Nothing that is distracting, but the computer that I installed the drive into had an existing SSD drive that didn’t make any noise at all. Happy with this purchase.

I ordered two of them and one had a bad block luckily B&H return policy made it easy to exchange no question ask. 5 stars for B&h.

First, I recommend the version with retail packaging since it offers some extra protection during the shipping process. This is a good and speedy HDD by a highly regarded manufacturer. I have just installed it as the replacement C: drive in my desktop and reloaded it from a system image. It is noticeably faster than the WD 1TB green drive it replaces. My only hesitation (at the cost of one star in an otherwise perfect recommendation) is that it is somewhat noisy–much noisier than the near silent disk it replaced or the WD 1.5TB spare drive I have along side it in the case. It sounds similar to an old geiger counter in the movies. The noise isn’t alarming or obtrusive, particularly, but if you have your tower on top of your desk as I do, you might think of moving it under your desk.

In what little time I’ve had it, it so far is doing great. Because of it’s speed (7200rpm) it is noisy. Other than that no complaints.

I needed to increase the storage for my data, music and photos on my desktop. I had done research on what I thought I needed and the size I wanted but I wanted to talk to someone knowledgeable about this. So I called B&H because their customer service department and technical department have always been helpful. And once again that proved to be the case. I was correct in my research and I ordered two of the larger drives and received them in just a couple of business days.

WD is always a reliable manufacturer of high quality hard drives. This drive is no different. I use it on my Mac Pro as a time machine backup. 7200rpm speed is the maximum these HDD drives deliver. Very happy with the performance.

I bought 4 of them for a raid and Final Cut. They are fast, reliable, and the best without being ssd.
