  • An Industry-Leading 5-Year Limited Warranty

    Compared to standard hard drives, our WD_BLACK Gaming Hard Drives pass more strenuous and aggressive internal testing over a longer period of time which is why the WD_BLACK drive is backed by an industry-leading 5-year limited warranty.

    Most are good - this one wasn't

    I've used three of these drives in the past and have had no problem at all. The one I received was defective and had to be replaced by WD under warranty. Their replacement took twice as long as told by the support staff (nearly 3 weeks).

    Great quiet and reliable hard drive

    The hard drive was perfect right out of the box. It is super quiet and responsive. I love the fact that it has 8TB of storage and the reliability of Western Digital. Highly recommend for your storage needs. I didn't need the performance of a gaming hard drive, but I appreciate the reliability of this drive backed by a 5 year western digital warranty. It is also CMR versus the SMR style of similarly sized/priced Seagate drives.

    Good drive for a good price!

    Sometimes you dont need to be the fastest! Sometimes you gotta be the strongest. This drive will hold a massive amount of data at a good speed too. Using one for my Plex server but I want another one to hold older games that dont need SSD speeds. It looks cool too.
