- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 10000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 7200 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 263 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 263 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 3.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Why is this hard drive good for gamers?
A: This hard drive is ideal for gamers because it offers large cache sizes and storage capacities for games and downloadable content.
Q: What is the storage capacity of this WD hard drive?
A: This WD Black Gaming Hard Drive has a storage capacity of 10TB.
Q: Does this hard drive come with any software?
A: Yes, the hard drive comes with Acronis True Image WD Edition software.
Q: What type of interface does this hard drive use for connection?
A: This hard drive uses a SATA interface for connecting to your computer.
Q: How does StableTrac Technology improve this hard drive?
A: StableTrac Technology secures the motor shaft to increase reliability and reduce impact from system vibrations.
A: The 6Gbps speed is to the DRAM buffer on the drive, and the 263 MBS is the max speed to write to the physical platters on the drive. So what happens is you can have a burst of speed at the 6 gbps of anything less than the buffer size (256mb for this drive I think, or maybe half the buffer size depending on how they partition it for read/writes) then the drive writes from the buffer to the disk at the slower speed. So sporadic small files writes are fast, but if you are reading or writing large files it's going to go at that lower rate.
A: Hi, Please know that the WD Black Performance is an internal storage hard drive and has 3.5 Inch form factor. It is equipped with StableTrac™ Technology (2TB and larger models). This secures the motor shaft inside of the hard drive to increase reliability and it comes with CMR technology. For more info, see the link: (http://bit.ly/3Go1vUa)

Only has 2 screw holes.
Only one con: it only has 2 screw holes for mounting. The one in the middle is missing, making it impossible to easily mount it in my pc case. Every other 3.5 form factor HDD I've bought over the last 30 years has had 3 mounting holes. This drive is missing the middle hole. Even the picture of the product shows 3 holes. So I had to "rig" a mount for my case which needs that middle hole. Other than that it's the usual, best quality, longest warranty you can get for a regular HDD.

Great addition using it as backup for work files
Works great. Is quiet. Even when writing I don’t hear it. Using it as a backup for work files.

Half the speed of a Sata ssd.
I needed to upgrade from a 2tb hard drive. This is exactly what I was looking for. It has good performance at a reasonable cost. I considered an 8tb SSD, but the cost was too much for what I am using it for. I am not sure about reliability, but WD has good customer service from past experiences. I recommed it!
