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.

These are the only hard disk drives that I ever buy anymore! I love the reliability of the WD Caviar Black series over other brands I have used in the past. I have had several internal hard disks fail that were included in computers purchased over the years & once I started replacing the inferior brands with new Caviar Black drives, I have not had any further issues.

I was using the Hitachi version of these forever (like 20 of them) for audio and video intensive work. That drive was recommended by the guys at Graid, because they used them in their externals. I heard WD bought the Hitachi division a couple of years back, when my go to’s were now discontinued. I had MAJOR bad luck with WD drives in the past. I tested out two of these last year (one for backup, I buy them in pairs for this reason). Working perfectly. Two more, perfect, two more, perfect. (6 total now). Still got my fingers crossed that at the two year mark, the first two don’t fail, on the same day, like a couple of older WD drives in the past (15 years ago). Installed those original WDs in two different PCs on the same day (I uses two for beta testing software product) They BOTH failed on the same day exactly two years later. OMG. I’ve had many other WD drives that didn’t last as long as my other brands, so I stayed away from WD, until last year. So I was very reluctant to use WD. But hey, I gave it another shot, thinking that the Hitachi buy gave them better tech. FIngers crossed. 🙂 But pretty confident that these will last as my Hitachi versions, which are still all running strong after 8+ years…
