I use two each for my two machines. I bought a 5th to use in a HD enclosure to back up a laptop. I only have SATA II (3Gb/s)but the drive can be jumpered into that mode which eliminates overhead from transation, thus performing better when SATA II connected. It is also a 1 platter drive reducing wear on the spindle and must have greater areal density than equal sized multi-platter drives…Areal density is a measure of the quantity of information bits that can be stored on a given length of track, area of surface, or in a given volume of a computer storage medium. Generally, higher density is more desirable, for it allows greater volumes of data to be stored in the same physical space. Density therefore has a direct relationship to storage capacity of a given medium. Density also generally has a fairly direct effect on the performance within a particular medium, as well as price. With a five year warranty this was a great buy and was retail boxed. First time I’ve seen a retail boxed drive in ages. In 25 years of building my own and machines for others I’ve had only one WD drive fail and trust me, I’ve run dozens of them under very demanding circumstances.

Seems great, but drive is noisy. Time will tell.

Perfect for Final Cut Pro X editing. I’ve been buying these hard drives for as long as I can remember.

I have always had good luck with Western Digital Drives. I have only had this one for a few months so I can’t really talk about longevity, but the WD Black drives seem to be some of the best made drives and have the longest warranty (5 years) that I have seen. I doubt you can do better, and the small extra cost over the consumer grade drives with 2 or 3 warranties is worth the peace of mind to me. Of course, even with a very nice hard drive, always back-up your data!

So far the drives have been great; I bought two. A bit on the noisy side but about 20% faster than my 4tb Seagate with twice the cache. I took off one point for the noise, otherwise I love the drives.

Added it to a Drobo Disk Array with no problems.

Needed additional storage for photo library. Fast and quiet.

My 2TB Seagate was constantly chugging along around 100% active time (as reported by Windows Task Manager Performance) so I cloned the OS and files to this 2TB WD Black drive. This drive chugs along at about 10% active time. This is not to says that Seagate don’t make great drives but I’m happier with this WD drive even though I can hear it.

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

The WD Black drive is probably overkill for my situation but I have been happy with the performance of the previous ones that I purchased. Using external drive enclosures primarily for Carbon Copy Cloner and Time Machine backups, when the hard drives that were included in the enclosures die (mostly Seagates or WD Green by the way), I am replacing the defective drives with the WD Black. Also, I am very happy with all of my previous purchase experiences that I have had with B&H.

I have always used Western Digital and Always will. These drives are super reliable.

I use the 1 TB Caviar Black drives in 3 systems, including external eSata docks. This covers my video editing needs and all administrative functions. They simply work well, and support applications (video editing) which require rapid data transfer.

I’m a photographer- I have a gallery and also sell my work at a street market. I need my work backed-up- I use a Drobo 5D and that’s backed-up weekly to a 4-bay Drobo. I have the Drobos set-up so two drives can fail and I won’t lose any data. I bought 2 WD Black 10TB drives as insurance.

I have no complaints about their performance, but they get very hot. Even when operating them in open air, with a fan running, you will see that they get very hot. If you want to put them inside a computer, you better have fans blowing directly onto the drives. I wouldn’t recommend putting them in a chassis that doesn’t have fans blowing (or sucking) air directly onto the hard drives. The total power consumption, based on the rating on the drive, shouldn’t be more than 10W. But the drives feel like they are burning lot more power!

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.

I purchased the drive I was running out of space for my photos on my 1 TB Seagate Barracuda. I wanted a fast and quiet drive to support photo editing. It is both.

About 4 years ago I built a home theater PC that I have hooked to my 65 LG OLED tv. I use it to store movies, tv shows, music, really just media of any variety. Keeps me from having to dig out a DVD every time I want to watch a movie. Anyway, the 2tb WD Black that I’d built into the machine was pretty much packed to the screws, so I decided to replace it with a pretty serious upgrade. I went back to a WD Black drive because the existing one hadn’t given me a second of trouble in the time it’s been in use, and that’s despite it being full, and kinda warm in a rather small HTPC enclosure. This thing is an absolute moose of a drive. I used a USB 3.0 to SATA adapter to format the drive and transfer my media data onto it prior to installation. Format took about 10 hours, and the transfer of about 1.7t took about 4 hours. HDDs are pretty old tech at this point, but with a 7200rpm platter speed and 256mb of cache, it really keeps up well! My OS is on a 2.5 SSD and my processor is an AMD A8-7600 so the rest of the computer isn’t cutting-edge technology. This behemoth fits perfectly in the system, and I look forward to another 5+ years of service, during which time I’m going to stuff it with every movie I can find!

WD Black drives are the best mechanical drives available. I will go SSD at some point but not yet. I just put 4 in a new gigabyte Designare z390 build. 🙂

Western digital has never failed me. I’ve had countless drives from them, always working as expected. Runs a bit hotter than WD green drives but faster.
