Key Specs
- 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.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Reliable High Performance Hard Drive
This drive(of which I have multiples) has proven to be very reliable and they also offer great performance. Very easy to install and setup. The drive also comes with an excellent warranty. Western Digital has been my 'goto' brand from many,many years.

Sweet drive with lots of realestate
Brand new gaming system I just built and found my drive was dying, so while I had the new case open I got my drives. Living in Alaska I don't have the resources I had when in Atlanta, not as many computer outlets or drives to choose from. Western Digital has been real reliable and good to me over the years, so my new machine needed a 2TB or more Storage drive. WD Black drives have been in my machines for at least 4 years now and as a loyal Western Digital user this gaming rig needed one too.

Fixed my iMac
This is a great drive. It was easy to install and saved me having to buy a new iMac. I doubled my storage and performance is good although the drive noise is noticeable.
