Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got the 2TB because I wanted to stick with MBR and not use GPT. I cloned my current drive with a hardware cloner, installed the drive and extended the partition. Easy as expected. No issues. If there is a con, it is that the black line of HD's are quite loud during operation. That's a small price for the performance boost you get with the black series drives.

I purchased this drive to use as an external for my xbox one. Its faster and cheaper than buying an external hard drive. I just bought a case to put it in and connected to the 3.0 usb port of my xbox. works great with no problems

2TB drive was installed in my new desktop PC to store photos/data about 2 weeks ago and so far no issues. I successfully moved over 300GB of data to the drive without issues and access to files have been relatively quick. Time will tell if it's a reliable drive.

I bought two of these drives to use in a RAID configuration, essentially writing the same data to two drives to ensure the data is safe in case of any unforeseen issues with either drive. The performance is really good. The difference is almost unnoticeable from the Solid State Drives I'm using for the operating systems on my desktop workstation. If you're looking for a cost-effective high-performance hard drive then definitely check this series of Western Digital drives out.

Always buy WD products. I bought other hard drives in the past and lived to regret it.

Installed the drive a couple of months ago and have had no issues with it. It's fast and so far it's reliable.

Very reliable- 5 year warranty- no brainer. Unless you go solid state these are great performers.

The writing speed can reach close to 800MB/s for the first few GB. More quiet than the hard drive I had, still a little noisy compared to the SSD, but that's how HHD works. Overall, good quality, worth the price.

Fast and super reliable. 5yr warranty is great. Western Digital makes phenomenal drives.

I have used Western Digital for all of my hard drive needs in the past (usually external drives) and have yet to have a problem. So as I was building my gaming computer, there was no company I would trust more.

I have used these drives for years and they have always performed flawlessly. They are used in Insignia HDD enclosures and they are quickly recognized by the system. I have never had any failures of any kind with these drives. Nice job WD!

I did not have much luck with the blue but this time I went with black. My desktop computer had a black WD and it is still going after 7 years of constant use.

My son wanted to bring our old desktop back to life after the hard drive died. Wanted a faster drive so got this one - it’s like a new computer- better than new. Great drive

the WD Caviar Black Hard Drives are consistently outstanding performers. Excellent quality, great reliability - I've used these in my home PCs for years!

I have had exellent luck with WD drives and have several that have been trouble freee.

I have WD drives than are still going strong, after 10 years

I am using 2 of these disks in a synology NAS. No complaints

Hi volume, high quality but know it isn't formated like other drives you purchase. Might be better if you have the Geek Squad install it rather that try to do it yourself.

I ordered the hdd online to replace a 3 Tb drive that had to be replaced by western digital. So far, working fine.

I got this for my dell CPU it’s works really good.
