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.

This is a replacement for a 4TB WD Black. So far it performs exactly as expected. I’ve used WD black drives for many, many years and never had a problem with any of them. I have always replaced them in my desktop when their 5 year warranty period is over but keep using them for external back up of my data.

I have many hard drives (nearly 70) both in service and retired on the shelf in archival cases. I have found WD Black drives are not only fast, but the most reliable in my application. Black drives employ a data structure amenable for both storage and RAID applications.

I have 3 of these 6TB drives running on a docking station. Edited a feature film on these. No issues whatsoever. I recommend.

This is an excellent HDD at a great price to keep my files on for my desktop. On it I mostly have games, they start and load quickly and without errors. It is also much quieter than the older HDD that this replaced. I would highly recommend it as a primary drive.

I installed it as a secondary/backup hard drive on a Dell XPS 8700 that I recently purchased. After installation I used the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnosis software to test the hard drive, then I cloned the OS hard drive to the WD using the free WD Acronis software available on WD’s site.

Easy installation and immediately recognized by my computer, fast speed for a mechanical hard drive, between 190 and 200 mb/s. Very satisfied with my purchase and the impeccable B&H service as usual.

It’s a good item but be aware that it’s rather noisy

I have been buying Western Digital for many years. They have proven time & time again to be the most reliable products in the world. I will continue to purchase Western Digital. I only recommend Western Digital to my friends, because of quality and trust in their workmanship.

A customer in my group needed a large drive to store a large amount of data. This WD 1 TB drive suited the purpose. The price offered by B&H also fit the budget. The shipping was also fast and I was able t have their computer up and running in a short amount of time.

Great drives and great warranty (not that I’ve ever needed it with the black series.) My go to for desktop builds or storage.

I must say that the price B&H was offering this product is less, or same, as OEM bare drives. This was probably my first retail platter drive purchase in almost a DECADE! This is massive storage, massive buffer and is working great for a drive to store games on. This drive replaced a 5TB WD black drive that was about (5) years old with a lot of hours. In order to prevent significant loss of data I try to replace drives with a lot of hours on them. The drives are then rotated to emergency back up use. This was a great drive at a great price. Nice and quite in the case as well. (NAS drives don’t have sound concerns so being next to the PC with a NAS drive may be noisy)

When I bought this drive it was advertised as a WD4003FAEX, but when I got it it was a WD4003FZEX. It was a good deal for a FAEX, but just a meh deal for the FZEX. I will keep them as they are still good drives though.

Needed a 1TB hard drive for an older computer I was refurbishing and didn’t have the space to safely mount a SSD. The hard drive arrived in excellent condition and has been working flawlessly ever since.

I’ve used WD Caviar Drives for video editing and internal hard drives for my PCs and Macs for years, and I’ve found them to be very reliable.

I was a bit concerned about PWL noise issue that some users have reported, but this model seems to be free of it. It does run a bit warm but it will sit directly in an airflow path in my case so I’m not expecting any issues. I’m letting it run non-stop in a dock while I copy files to it over the next few days and then into the computer it goes (joining 3 other Blacks).

Works fine. I can hear it spin as I edit, which is a little annoying.
