## Description

From the manufacturer Inspiring performance, demanding capacity Trust in WD WD Black hard drives are put through extensive testing in WD’s FIT Lab so that customers have a reliable hard drive they can trust when storing their digital content. WD Black hard drives are designed for desktop PC power users who demand performance. Give your system the high capacity, reliability and robust performance only available in a WD Black drive. Which capacity is right for you? Entry Level: Up to 1 TB. Mainstream: 2 TB – 4 TB. High upgrade: 5 TB + For creatives and enthusiasts Whether you’re a photographer, video editor, digital artist or want to build your own system, look no further than WD Black drives as your go-to solution. WD Black drives deliver performance for storing large multimedia files of photos, videos and applications. For the gamers Tuned for performance and ideal for gaming, WD Black drives offer large capacities to store your expanding gaming library. Future-proof your gaming PC with enough capacity for extra downloadable game content and combine with an SSD for maximum PC performance. Increased cache sizes Achieve fast read-rate performance and high-speed transfer speeds with 128 MB of cache on 5 TB and 6 TB models. WD's Dynamic Cache Technology improves performance in real time to allocate and optimise cache between reads and writes. Dual-core processing The WD Black drive features a dual-core processor that offers twice the processing capability as a standard single-core processor to maximise drive performance, especially for loading games or large multimedia files. Increased reliability WD Black drives are equipped with StableTrac Technology (2 TB and larg models). This secures the motor shaft inside the hard drive to increase reliability and help reduce impact due to system-induced vibrations from other components.

Review: High performance at a competitive price point - This is a very good drive indeed, and is the best performing of the regular WD drive line. The 'Blue' series drives are the standard good drives for everyday use. (These are the only ones that come in both SATA 6 Gb/s and the older PATA 100 MB/s connection styles; all others are only SATA). The max. capacity for these is 1 TB. The 'Green' drives are focused on low energy consumption and therefore have lowest spin ratings (making them slower) but keep very cool & quiet. These go all the way up to 6 TB. The 'Purple' are designed for low spin use with ATA streaming & AllFrame technology designed with surveillance video footage recording in mind. These go up to 4 TB. The 'Red' series drives are designed for RAID array systems. These go all the way up to 6 TB. The 'Black' series are designed for the best performance for gamers and graphic artists with fast spin-rates, Vibration Control Technology (VCT) and Corruption Protection Technology (CPT) to prevent data loss in the case of power failure to the unit. These go up to 4 TB. The only drive that WD make faster and better than the Black series is the VelociRapter series with the fastest spin cycles and it's own custom vibration and cooling bracket. These are more triple the price on a GB-by-GB cost ratio. See Western Digital Velociraptor - 1TB Desktop SATA Hard Drive - OEM These "Black" drives are really the best of the regular series for high performance computing. I have mine installed as a bootable Windows OS main HDD, and it outperforms the previous drive, even though it was only a 200 GB drive. You'd think for so little space, verses a 1 TB drive, that the 200 GB drive would be faster as there's so much less space to have to scan. But the WD Black is as good with five times the capacity. It's very quiet and performs quickly with no read/write errors upon diagnostic scan tests. The packaging was satisfactory (not an original fancy box). It was in an anti-static bag, with plastic spacers on each end, that was in turn in a cardboard box that was then placed in another cardboard box with filler. One little tip: If your are replacing an old HDD that was MBR format, and intend to clone it to this drive, then format this new drive to MBR as well, not GPT (even though the latter is a better system) to prevent problems in the cloning. The 5 year warranty is a real bonus as well. Just go to the WD website and register the drive. Such a long warranty (the longest WD offer for a product; others being 2 or 3 years only) shows that they've really put a lot into making these units in a high quality manner giving peace-of-mind for your data. I would recommend these drives to anyone looking for the best drive, that's affordable, for high performance computing.
Review: A really fast and reliable drive. - A really superb drive. I have the 1TB version. After 5 years of heavy use the drive is still in perfect working order. Not a sector out of place. The drive can hit nearly 200MB/s and that is plenty fast for me to write audio to it in real time in my DAW. It's CMR which helps. The later WD Blacks get mixed reviews - they are not all made equal, but this is a superstar and I'm confident to keep on using it in another system when I pull it to upgrade all my drives in this DAW.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great gaming drive with Western Digital's usual reliability
*by R***S on 19 April 2016*

These drives receive almost universally positive reviews, and my experience is no different. I'm using this as a games drive and it has given me many hours of happy gaming with zero issues. Installation is simple, using the standard 4 screw arrangement or whatever HDD mounting brackets may exist in your case. Plug in the SATA cable and it's ready to go. This replaced an old 5400rpm drive, and there is a noticeable performance improvement even though I have it connected to a SATA2 motherboard and can't experience the drive at full transfer speed (I'll upgrade eventually). Western Digital have a great reputation for reliability and a decent warranty so I'm expecting this drive to last for many years. I'll probably buy a couple more at some point, maybe for a RAID setup, or perhaps just to increase overall capacity.
