High performance without 10,000 rpm speed, but the drive is the loudest I've ever owned. I guess its a trade off for high performance.

I expect quality from Western Digital and once again I am not dissapointed. This unit was purchased and installed to an older HP machine along with Win7 Pro to give the computer a new lease on life. So far everything's running smoothly.

The 1TB WD Caviar Black hard drive is an excellent piece of computer equipment. If you're looking for the three S's - speed, storage, and silence - then look no further. Although, granted, it isn't quite "silent." More like "near-silent."I have two of these drives installed in two completely different systems. The first one acts as a storage drive for my custom built Windows PC. I have read and written thousands upon thousands of files, ranging from music to movies to games, on this drive and it has handled it all without a hiccup. The performance is speedy (about 20-25% faster than my previous 250GB WD storage drive, confirmed with benchmarks) and the drive itself has been quite reliable thus far. Unless you're storing an entire video library on this thing, chances are pretty good that you will not run out of space anytime soon.My second WD Caviar Black drive is acting as the system disk in my 20" aluminum iMac (late-2008 model). First off, I highly recommend that anyone who wishes to consider installing their own hard drive upgrade in one of the new iMac's either have a background in electronics and computer hardware, or find someone who can do it for you. That being said, I pulled out the old stock 320GB Seagate drive and replaced it with this WD model. I've noticed that the drive is slightly louder than the Seagate, but only when I'm operating in a silent environment. If you are apt to play music, have fans running, or work in a noisy office environment, you probably won't even notice the difference, unless you have superhuman bionic hearing or something of that nature. The speed appears to be noticeably faster than the old Seagate drive, although I have not run benchmarks to confirm my observations. Programs seem to open with greater speed and the boot time has been reduced as well.I should probably clarify that the greater speed I'm experiencing isn't Earth-shattering. I'm talking about only a few seconds. Either way, this drive performs admirably as a boot disk for the iMac.Overall, I would highly recommend this drive to anyone looking to upgrade their Windows or Apple desktop computers. I've been a steadfast customer of Western Digital drives for several years now and with good reason: I haven't had one fail me yet.

I needed to replace the 640 GB Western Digital Caviar Blue drive that originally came in my pc with something larger, so off I went looking for the ideal replacement. After browsing hard drive review sites I decided that it should definitely be another WD drive because of their reliability, quality, and performance, but which version should I go for? Green drives could be bought at 1.5 TB for around $125 when I was shopping around, compared to this 1 TB Black drive that was around $90 (and there was no Black 1.5 TB drive).I wondered if the speed difference between the Green and Black would be worth going with the smaller capacity. The answer is HECK YES!! This Black drive was SO worth switching to, it's not even funny. After mirroring my Blue drive contents to my new Black drive and installing it, my pc was noticeably much faster. If I saw this much difference between a Blue and Black drive I can't imagine how disappointed I would have been if I had used a Green drive as my primary drive. I'm sure they're great for data vaults but not worth it for the OS and programs. I HIGHLY recommend Black drives for use as primary drives!

I have gotten two of these drives so far. I did not get them at the same time. One was for a new computer build back in january of 2009. Another one was bought in july of 2009. The other drive was for a security system DVR. So far i have not seen any problems with these drives. I am not really sure what happened with other people and failing drives. Also these drives are not as loud as people are saying they are. They probaly installed incorrectly and are loose shaking around in the computer case. Mine are installed in a coolermaster haf932 case. The packaging that both drives came in were in great condition with a box inside of a box. The hard drive came in a smaller box filled with foam padding that let little to no rattling around while in shipment. So people that got drives with poor packaging. Also, not really sure what they are talking about either. My drives were bought with a pretty big space between them and both came the same exact way in which they should ship drives. Maybe it is caused by which warehouse they are coming out of. Not sure. I would like to know what western digital says about the warranty for these drives tho since they are OEM. If i ever have a problem within 5 years and western digital says contact the OEM dealer. I am coming right back to amazon.com and they better replace a bad drive. Other than that, these drives are great. I am thinking on getting another one because my other one is filling up quick with back-up's of windows vista ultimate edition 64 bit.

A hard drive of this caliber for $100 was well worth it for me. Your getting a 7200 rpm, 32mb cache, 1TB (the one that I got), and it's SATA 2. Well worth the price tag indeed. This IS the bulk version, so it means it just comes with the hard drive, plastic covering, and plastic side cases to hold it into place in the shipping box. I was sort of disappointed with the light packaging. I seriously thought something like this would have more protection, but the hard drive worked fine. If you guys, don't know how to install an internal hard drive into your comp, then you might want to do your homework by googling this up, or read some of the other reviews. Depending on your computer you might or might now hear the hard drive loading. I have it connected in a hard drive dock that sits on top of my computer, and I can hear it when ever I access data off of it after a while. It's not super load or anything, and probably your internal cooling fans would probably mask it. Another product that I would recommend people getting. I probably would be getting the 2TB version sometime later, so I can put more of my digital media on.

The quality of this drive is already well documented so I can't add much there. I had to initialize and format it over a USB port in order for Vista to recognize it on the eSATA port, but that's a Vista issue, and could be there was an easier way to go about it that I just didn't know.I did want to add some comments on the packaging. I was expecting to get something similar to the photos and descriptions others have left, but what I got was a little worse, a little better. I ordered mine through Tiger Direct (via Amazon) and received it in an oversized box, loose, simply wrapped in a single sheet of craft paper. No styrofoam, no bubble wrap, no anchoring blocks. Just a piece of paper.In fairness, though, the unit was not just loose in a static-bag as some of the reviewers' photos show -- mine came in one of those hard plastic clamshell covers that you can only open with like a razor knife or poultry scissors. On the top and bottom the case did have kind of a double walled conctruction, ostensibly to provide shock protection. I don't know how much, if any, additional protection this really provided vs the bag-only shipments people have gotten from other sources. The drive was functioning and shows no errors, but it does have me wondering if it was compromised in any way. My recommendation would be to either spend the nominal extra $ to order a retail unit and consider it a packaging, insurance, and peace of mind fee.

When i first got this item i was shocked at the packaging so i submitted photos here... whoever is not supervising these drives being sent out should be fired... read the ongoing comments... and it is also not just this drive, it is across the board from Amazon (Western Digital)... when i called WD direct they were very helpful and understanding... all worked fine from WD but the Amazon originated shipping was a joke by ANY standard... sooo... beware of the shipping... BTW the drive was damaged but did not show up till after the 30 day Amazon return policy expired... Amazon did not want anything to do with it... so i just warn all look at the photos and you make the call...otherwise the drive is excellent... it's a Western Digital Black Baby!sorry Amazon, but you need to fix what is obviously broken... please fix and stop wasting everyones time with returns and RMA's...namasteBTW the three star rating is balanced out... Amazon= 1 Star and Western Digital gets 5 Stars

For anyone wondering what the difference is between this drive and Western Digital Caviar Blue 640 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD6400AAKS:1. 32 MB cache compared to a 16 MB cache on their Blue line - This is not hugely noticeable but it does make a difference.2. 5 year warranty compared to 3 year warranty on the Blue. If you combine that with Western Digital's Data Lifeguard Diagnostics software and S.M.A.R.T. feature (which monitors hard disks for problems and potential failures), then you really don't have much to worry about with hard drive crashes.3. Construction - The Black line contains a dual processor and StableTrac, which secures the motor shaft at both ends to reduce vibration and keeps the platters more stable. The Blue line is only secured on one end.Considering this drive is only slightly more expensive than the Caviar Blue, there is really no reason anyone should get that drive over this. As of October 2009, this is probably the best drive out there right now for gaming and performance computing. I have benchmarked it with a Western Digital 150 GB VelociRaptor SATA 10,000 RPM 16 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD1500HLFS and other than the boot up time, the differences between the two drives was not that great. I would go with the Caviar Black and it's larger cache (and one less platter) for a MUCH cheaper price than a velociraptor drive as far as gaming goes.

FYI bought a pair of the 1tb blacks and they both failed in a raid 1 setup after 12 months and 13 months. R&R to WD at a total cost of $7 each. raid 1 rebuild w/o problems - raid one rocks. My system was down for 2 days. WD sent replacements shipped 2nd day air at their expense, before they rec'ed the returned bad drives. However, they charge my credit card for the replacements until they receive the return shipments. a 5 year dr should not have failed after 1 yr but they stand by their warranty. Both drives failed within 1 month of each other - strange!

An excellent drive, glad I spent a bit more! Using it as the main drive in my Mac Pro with 16-Gig RAM. It's amazingly fast, though just a bit noisier than the drive it replaced, a Seegate. Highly recommend this drive!

I bought this drive to replace my 250G drive that came with my Dell Dimension. The dell drive was ultra-quiet and that made this one sound like a bulldozer. Sometimes it would sound like a pot of water boiling. I must admit though, that either it got quieter as the weeks went by or I got used to the sound. I am a power user doing a lot of gaming so Caviar Black was my first choice. If you do not necessarily need the extra performance I would suggest getting the 1 TB Caviar Green. Nonetheless, this is a really excellent drive with a lot of storage space and you won't be disappointed.One thing though, if your drive is mounted sideways, that is, not in the same direction as your CD drive you may have a space issue with connecting a cable. If that is the case make sure you get a cable with a right angled connection. I ran into this problem and the case was a little hard to close.... not sure if i will have shorting issues with the cable in the future. Check the case you are using and see if the drives in there are using right angled cables and get one for this.

After installing a copy of Windows 7 over Win XP Pro on my 2006 vintage computer, I was pleased enough with the ease of installation to buy a larger, faster hard drive to replace the oem 250 gig drive. I shopped and read several reviews and decided to go with the WD OEM 750 gig size because of the cost. Reviews indicated this drive was "near" the WD 300 gig Raptor in overall performance.I had read about Amazon's packaging issues with hard drives but decided to order from them. The OEM drive was very well packaged!This was a bare drive. You can find any installation questions at the WD site. I had none. I have never restored a drive image to a new hard drive but using Windows 7's image creator, everything went flawlessly. Just be sure you have a large enough external hard drive to use for image creation. I might add that I made sure the old drive was disconnected before restoring to the new drive. Once everything was complete, then I could reuse the older drive as spare storage.The WD 750 gig OEM drive has plenty of capacity for my needs and should run my operating system for hopefully years to come. I am very pleased with it after a month of operation.

Drives live up to their manufacturer's specification. I am pleased with them. They are the first 2 Drives installed in a Drobo FS. Installation went effortlessly. The drives are connected across a network and perform according to their specifications.

Added to a Dell, which involved opening the case, snapping the drive into a platic housing and slding it in to the bay, hooking up the SATA cable (not included) to the drive and the motherboard (it took me about 20 minutes including dusting and cleaning up around my CPU). I closed the case on the comptuer, booted up , and formatted the drive (Windows XP Home) which took a minute to start but ran for about 4 hours. The SATA cable should cost less than 5 bucks. Best Buy had one for $20, I went to Micro Center to find one. In hindsight, I should have ordered the SATA cable from Amazon.

I have used many Western Digital drives over the years and I'd have to say the WD1001FALS has the most reliability issues of any of them. I have used a total of 4 of these drives. The first purchased on 9/2008 has worked reliably in an external enclosure (spinning 90% of the time). The second (purchased 6/2009) stopped spinning up after 3 days. The third (purchased 06/2009) stopped spinning up after 7 months or so. The fourth (warranty replacement 1/27/2010) stopped spinning up after 3 months. I have had no problems with other kinds of WD drives in the external enclosure that I used.I think I am going to be purchasing from another manufacturer in the future.

This is my first WD Caviar Black but after a week of use, it became my new favorite hard disk.I have HP desktop whose booting took almost 5 minutes even with 4GB memory. So I decided to try Caviar Black. Cloning 300GB booting disk to the new disk took an hour. As for booting from this disk, I was amazed to see that it took a couple of minutes.One thing I am little worried is its noise. It sounds like old ATA hard drive. I haven't experience this kind of disk sound from my old Caviar Green. But considering its speed gain, I guess it's small sacrifice.

This hard drive was for replacement for previous hard drive in a Dell XPS system. It is equivalent to the original drive and operated as expected. I then chose to remove this drive and replace original drive and will now use this drive in a build-my-own desktop system. I will write later on it's ease of setup, performance and overall functionality.9/9/11I chose to use this drive as a backup in my system. I am happy with it's performance, stability and reliability. I haven't had any problems. Access and transfer speeds are very good. Since it's identical as the original OS drive, it performs the same and it's very quiet too.Setup and versatility with this drive is easily accomplished. I may use it in a RAID array. I trust it for it's performance and reliability.
