I bought 2 of these for my Mac Pro, which came with 2 x 1TB drives at $299 each. These drives cost 1/3 at Amazon. I was pleasantly surprised to find they are IDENTICAL to the 1TB drives that came with my Mac Pro, which i had in a RAID-1 configuration. Installation was a cinch. Turn off Mac Pro, take cover off the tower, pull out the drive guides in bays 3 and 4, screw in the drive guides to the WD 1TB drives, push in the 2 drives into bays 3 and 4, put the cover back on the tower, restart the mac. The finder saw the drives, and asked if I want to open the drive app or my RAID card application. I opened the RAID card app, started up a new raid set, set drives 3 and 4 to a RAID 1 config, and off it went. A few minutes later, I had a second RAID-! drive on my desktop. This was so easy, to get up on my Mac Pro, its unbelievable. If you have a Mac Pro, buy these drives as is. your MAC pro has all of the hardware to install them. All you need is a phillips head screwdriver. Totally painless. If no RAID card, even easier. install as above, and the finder will give you the disk drive app, which you can use to put the disks on your desktop for use. Amazing price, totally easy setup.

My packaging: Plastic end caps in Mylar. Don't remember any bubble wrap. It arrived undamaged and unscathed.Result: Nothing is so easy to add an extra HDD into a Mac Pro chassis. Open, slide, close. It's done.Benefits: Adding an extra 1TB for under $100 in addition to my 500MB brings great relief and is so much more reliable than an external drive. Suitable for those working with images or video editing.Drawbacks: On occasion, when the drive is not accessed in a while there will be a extremely high pitched "beep" or tone. Hard to pin down the first time because it resembles a smoke detector low battery alert. The cure, other than turning the Mac off is to use finder to access any file on the drive.

This drive looked great on paper with all the specs that are listed in the product description. It looked fast, cheap and reliable. So far it has lived up to all expectations. The drive was a snap to install on my Mac and was immediately recognized by the system. All I had to do was format it for the Apple and I was off to the races. The drive seems very responses. In copying the data that I wanted on the drive to it, the drive performed very well. I have not yet had the opportunity to really put it through its paces by using it for video editing but I am very happy with it. My only gripe and it has been said many times in these reviews is that the packaging it comes in is awful. Luckily mine was not DOA but I could easily see why so many reviewers had horror stories. Amazon must think that it is cheaper to replace the broken drives than to fix the packaging. Too bad its such a hassles for the buyers that have the bad luck to get a dead drive. For the price and performance you can't beat this HD. It performs exactly as advertised and if it matches your needs then I would highly recommend it.

I was worried that the packaging might be substandard because it had been mentioned by other reviewers. When the drive arrived it was packed as I expected--double boxed along with suspension packing of the drive. Now installed and working just fine.

Amazon's packing is still insufficient for a hard drive. Hard drive was wrapped in one layer of bubble rap facing down on the bottom of the box with nothing beneath it. Although on top there were 3 air packets. But this only prevents the hard drive from sliding around, not from any impact. With the way shipping is handled you don't know what could have happened to your hard drive. This could cause hard drive failure and im not sure about whether to trust it or not. Honestly I would not buy a hard drive from amazon again. But the hard drive itself is nice, especially with 32mb of cache.UPDATE>>>>>>>5 months in a this hard drive is dead as a rock. Does not respond whatsoever. I blame this on the poor packaging. Be wary of purchasing this from amazon.

The drive is working but for how long ? It came in a box. Thats it a box! No packaging or anything to buffer the drive from the shipping process. I should have sent it back right away. I figure this way I can inform everone as the drive ages and also see just how bad the lack of packaging is in the long run. Good luck to anyone buying a drive from Amazon. Please send it back if you experience the same as me.

The drive mounted ok and the read/write was acceptable but OMG the thing sounded like a pack of mice were inside gnawing metal. There was such a huge grinding of metal on metal I'm sure it's defective. It's going back.

The new Caviar Black 1 Terabyte drive is quite incredible. So much storage at a very reasonable price. Installation into my HP a1630n was straight forward, and the SATA connection was very nice. No jumpers to configure or other issues. I will say that formatting took quite a while, but I did opt for a full format, not the quick one. Considering the 1 terabyte size, several hours to format was not unexpected.I don't notice much heat difference, although I also installed a new video card at the same time, so I would think it is more from that. The drive is also very quiet, I am not sure why others mentioned it could be noisy. I am not hearing any noise issues.I immediately backed all my systems on the network to this drive and feel much better, knowing I have an image for all 3 other systems. So far I am very satisfied with the WD drive and hope it lives up to the descriptive features of automatic error correction and internal diagnostics. I feel with the features, it was worth the extra money over a WD Green or Blue series.

I needed the drive mostly to store big amounts of video. It's a good performer. Easy to install. However a couple days after I got it, the Western Digital Green 1.5TB price was lowered under $100, that's what I was looking for in first place.I have purchased books from Amazon that come well packaged and bubble wrapped inside the box. This one came inside a box with the drive loose covered with plastic. This is in fact a very dangerous packaging that may lower the life of the drive.

I've been using a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB drive on my Mac Pro for well over half a year now.It's a really great Hard Drive so far. The best internal Hard Drive that I've personally experienced.The drive is big, very fast, cool running and has just a bit of seek noise."Seek Noise" is the clattering that can be heard when a drive is accessing data.Fortunately, this WD1001FALS does have an "Acoustic Management" feature than can be adjusted by use of a Hitachi utility called "Feature Tool".Turning the Acoustic mode "ON" does make the drive quite a bit quieter at the expense of seek time.For use on a Mac Pro you do not need any additional cables or screws so the OEM or Bulk drive is OK.Just open the case, pull out a Drive "Carrier", attach the drive with the screws already on the Carrier and slide it in. Start the system and use Disk Manager to set up the drive.I even managed to copy my original drive directly to it with a minimum of fuss. (and then removed the original) for a lot more space and a little bit faster boot time.As a whole the system seems just a bit snappier when opening apps, rendering or saving big files.Someday, I'm going to get three more of these for this 4-drive system.Have Fun,Keri

I have been evaluating 1TB hard drives to replace a failed RAID array. I had just bought a WD Green 1TB drive, but it was DOA. I returned it to Amazon without problems. Then I started reading a lot of reviews online.The decision came down to a Samsung Spinpoint F1 or a WD Caviar Black 1TB. [[[***Note to those of you looking for hard drives for RAIDs, Drobo, or constant, heavy use: WD Blue label drives and Green label drives are not specifically certified for RAID-type use. The WD Black label isn't, either; but note that it has a 5-year warranty instead of the usual 3-year standard drive warranty. There was conflicting warranty information about the Samsung drive (though it is RAID-certified); some sites said three years, others five.***]]]The WD drive so far: quiet, fast. I've had a few WD drives fail, but overall, WD still is my favorite for reliability and quality, as well as problem-free operation. And this drive features a 5-year warranty. . .seems worth your consideration for that rare feature alone!A caveat to Amazon: I'm not impressed with the packaging on this drive or the DOA drive I received several weeks ago. Two bubble bags are not sufficient to immobilize the product in the shipping box. Granted, the drive heads should be parked after manufacture to prevent platter damage, but I don't think the product getting slammed around more than it needs to inside the box does it any good. Please pack hard drives better, Amazon!

So far after I installed the drive, worked out of box once installed to the computer. Although it is a little slow sometimes, it still does the job. Does everything I need it to do and that is to hold my Vienna Symphonic Library.

Good drive; plenty of space to install programs and store files; runs pretty fast with 32MB cache; from what I've heard/read WD caviar black is a reliable brand, it's running well on my PC so far (not too much noise coming from it), I guess time will tell whether it has longevity. Window 7 rated 5.9/7.9.Amazon delivered the product fairly fast and in good condition. It was bubble wrapped and placed in a holder; very secure. I bought it as a bare drive, so no screws or anything provided in the package for you.For 10GB per dollar, this is definitely a good drive!

I purchased 3 of these to start. My primary use is on a Windows 7 64 Bit intel i7 950 6GB RAM on an EVGA X58 SLI LE, I use one WD6401AALS as the primary drive OS and APPS and the other two in a RAID 0 array for my D: (Video Disk) I have had awsome results with these drives. I've compared them to other drives on the internet and from other reviews these drives are great and even better in a raid configuration. I'm in the process of buying one more and will be running a raid 0 on both my OS and APPS and as my D: drive for video editing. I dont know if this is the best configuration for what i want, but i will find out and let you know. Either way, get these drives over any other. I wouldn't spend the money again on a WD Raptor or even the velociraptor.

This hard drive was shipped as though it was a book, there was no packing material whatsoever. That is a huge error on Amazon.com's part. It would be easy for the drive to get damaged due to the poor shipping method. You wouldn't know until months later. Fortunately Amazon.com has put the item under review and is not shipping it right now. Wait for another review after the date of this one to be sure the shipping method is decent. The hard drive should not shake when shipped. It should have ample packing material and fit tightly in the box. Otherwise it is supposed to be a very good drive at a decent price.

I know very little about computers other than our original hard drive was running out of space due to the mass amounts of family pictures and video. I talked to some IT guys at work and they preferred Western Digital over Seagate. I read the reviews and was aware this drive was bulk/OEM and it came with nothing. I didn't purchase the right angle SATA II cable but wish I had; ended up buying it at a local store for a few bucks more. Installed this drive on a 2 yr old Dell XPS which came with an extra power supply cord, chassis and screws. Followed the installation instructions posted in the review "Beginner's guide to adding a second hard drive, May 3, 2009, by Sandstone" with a little help from Window's Vista webpage on how to prepare a new hard drive. I can't stress enough how very easy and painless this all was. Now our computer has amazing speed using the original 250 MB drive for program and operating software only and this new 1 TB drive for storage. The price was great and has even dropped $5 since I purchased this drive. I might buy another to replace our original 250 MB hard drive because the specs of these drives are so much faster. A great, great product for the average home computer.

I am very happy with this drive. It was super easy to install, is very quiet and is more than sufficient for my needs. I will not hesitate to purchase another Western Digital Black Caviar 750GB drive as I continue to upgrade my computer (I have an Intel Dual core Duo processor). The only thing I would mention is that it was not stated that this was an OEM drive, which means it comes without documentation or normal packaging -- However, your computer manual should tell you how to install/replace a hard drive. As usual it was a pleasure doing business with Amazon.com and I will certainly continue to do so.SandiB

This is fun because I'm only going to comment about the packaging used to deliver my new WD750 Black. After reading other WD/Amazon reviews that described the sorry state of product packaging, I was 'cautious' about ordering a new HD from Amazon. Well, I can only guess that Amazon actually read some of the criticisms and made a beeline to their shipping department to correct the issue. Here's a description of the packaging condition my new HD arrived in.When I got home from work, the box was lying on my desk. I lifted the box and gently tilted it from side to side. No noise was heard or movement inside the box felt. The weight seemed centered. I opened the box and was greatly surprised to see the new HD nestled between two Styrofoam forms designed to hold the product in the middle and prevent ANY product shifting. The HD was wrapped in a static bag and securely embedded in the Styrofoam blocks at each end.Like I said earlier, I couldn't be more pleased with the shipping and product condition upon arrival. Guess now I'll install the HD and see how it works.Thanks to all who previously critiqued the Amazon shipping. I think your voices were heard.

I purchased this HD to replace a failed 320g HD in my 2 year old aluminum iMac. All I can say is "wow!". Applications and video open almost instantly and I experience no stutter in movies. I broke open the iMac and installed it myself. I then formatted the drive and restored a disk image backup. I now have a much faster drive and an additional 600g of space.For the money, I find this hard to beat. Perhaps the 2TB model might be a contender. This drive is fast, has 32mb cache, advanced technologies, and a 5 year warranty.If I had anything negative to say it would be that it is a little louder than my previous drive but not to the point where it is a big deal. Also, as a performance drive, it uses more power than for example the Caviar Green series. These are minor points and I have to say I 100% recommend this drive.

I've only had this drive installed a few hours, but it is the noisiest drive that I have ever had in a PC. It probably would not matter in an office environment, but it is a bother in a quiet room at home. Hopefully, that will be my only probem with it.

If you happen to buy one of these drives made in 2010+, WD has modified the firmware to prohibit the use of TLER (time-limited error recovery) software necessary to use these drives in typical RAID configurations. Why? So WD can sell you their RE3+ (Raid Enabled) drives that typically cost 50% more. Drives made in 2009 probably allow WDTLER to work.
