After multiple failures with the other guys, I only buy Western Digital. Green are ok if you’re trying to save power and don’t mind the lag while they spin up but the Black series is the one for fast response. Not as fast as SSD but only a fraction of the price when you need lots of space. Been using these for over a decade and won’t use anything else.

I have been using Western Digital hard drives for decades. I only had problems with 2 of the dozens I have bought, both of which were 20 years ago. This drive has great capacity and decent speed.

I have a WD Passport for my MacPro (1T), that I have used for 2.5 years; a WD 4T Book that I have used for 4 years; a 4T WD Elements external drive owned for 1 yr., a 2T WD Passport formatted for Windows for 1 yr., and I just bought an 8 TB WD Book on sale for $150, and I have never had a single issue with any of them. I just got this Black because I recently purchased a HP Omen desktop that has 2 external 3.5″ bays, each already wired and ready for a drive. I wanted a 7200 speed because I am using this to store photos and videos. It has a 5 yr warranty also. I like using SSD, but I could not get the Samsung Evo 850 to fit properly in the external bays and will need to install the 2, 1-TB 850 Evo’s on the inside of the desktop. So, the next best thing was to go with the fastest, most reliable product I could find….WD Black.

I hooked it up with my other for a RAID 0 array and the performance is fantastic and 1 terabyte is more than enough space.

I file my photo collection on bare hard drives. I also keep a second copy at an alternate location. These drives are perfect for both purposes.

I have been using WD Caviar Black hard drives for years. They are easy to install, they are fast and last forever(almost). The drives I just purchased are to replace 2 six year old drives that got tired. These drives are enterprise quality and worth the money.

Easy install and format in HP Z. Dependable drive. Never hard an issue with a WD.

I bought 4 to go into a Drobo. Fast and quiet. I can’t speak to longevity yet.

I had a 1/2 TB second drive and filled it up so I decided to replace it with a 2TB drive. I’ve used Western Digital drives for years, mostly the Black series, and have been very pleased with them. I thought about getting a 3TB drive but there seem to be a lot of reviews that say they are noisy so I decided to just go with a 2TB drive. I found that prices of the 2TB Caviar Black varied and there are different model numbers as well. I went to the Western Digital site and looked at their model numbers to make sure what I was buying was on their list. They all seem to have the same specifications so I’m not sure why all the different model numbers. I found a retail packaged drive at B&H that was competitively priced in comparison to OEM drives elsewhere so I went ahead and ordered it. With a retail package you normally get at least a sealed box, whereas OEM drives sometimes arrive in just a plain box, wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a unsealed anti-static envelope. I’ve ordered drives from various other online suppliers and now B&H. So far I’m very pleased with B&H. Shipping was very fast. The drive installed just fine and is no noisier than my primary drive which is a WD Caviar Black 1TB. I’ve used other drive manufacturers in the past, but I seem to have better luck with WD drives. I’m more into reliability than speed.

Works as intended; no complaints thus far.

SSDs are great but still too pricey per gig to hold your photos or to act as a backup drive. The black WD hdds give the best performance of any reasonably priced drive and have the best warranties, 5 years from the manufacturer. I find that WD drives last basically forever barring physical accidents. An interesting datapoint- Google data centers use ordinary hdds for a lot of their storage and one brand of drive, I read, has a much lower failure rate than others. They won’t say who the manufacturer is, but I have to believe it’s WD. You don’t buy an hdd for speed, at least once you’ve gotten used to ssd speeds, you buy it to not crash, and in this these drives trully excel.

The only reason it doesn’t get a five is because there aren’t any real instructions for cloning and the web site for downloading the free software is obtuse. You would think WD would have a wealth of easy to follow instructions and video, but I found it to be pretty useless.

I had purchased a new computer with a 512GB SSD and a 2 TB internal drive. Since photography is my thing, I burn up lots of disk space and the 2TB drive wasn’t going to make me happy so I decided to swap it out for a 4TB. Western Black drives have a really good reputation and the 5 year warranty is very reassuring. When you have can’t replace it files you need to go for the quality. It installed and formatted easily and is happily running in my new tower.

We installed this to upgrade my existing hard drive on a Dell PC. Works Great. Easy install!

I’ve purchased 4 of these based on my positive experience with Western Digital hard drives overall. I use them in my Synology NAS (in RAID 10) and they perform great since purchased (two weeks ago). B&H had them for the lowest price one can find at a trusted retailer. I’m happy with my choice of drives and retailer.

Wanted to upgrade SAS RAID (two enclosures) from current 1TB drives. Needed 8 HDDs. The WD Black line of HDDs provides the rpm performance needed for RAID. In my case, 6 TB was a good compromise for the $$. Since these were going to go into a SAS enclosure, I did not need the SATA cables normally included in retail kit (extra mounting screws would have been nice though) Installation was straight forward. Ran RAID config tool for SAS RAID HBA, initialized/formatted the resulting volume. Drives are quiet, do not seem to run too hot (compared to the 1TB I replaced). Would definitely recommend if you want to upgrade from 1TB or smaller HDDs. You significantly increase capacity and price is still reasonable.

Bought 3 of these, put them in RAID5 for housing backups of up files from client video shoots. So far them seem to be working great. Easy install, easy RAID, not problems so far, probably will buy a few more very soon. I tend to not buy OEM drives when possible, I prefer the retail boxed versions.
