I USE WESTERN DIGITAL HARD DRIVES 90% OF THE TIME, SPECIFICLY THE BLACK DRIVES. I HAVE FOUND THESE DRIVES (BLACK) TO BE VERY DURABLE.

Got this to work with my other identical item. Doubled storage speed and increased read performance a bit (maybe 20% so far but I'm not sure if there's more I can do to tweak). On RAID 0: make sure you have the correct RAID drivers. I clearly identified "WIN 7" as my OS but Asus gave me plenty of non-Win 7 drivers to choose from so I went with the first/most recent which ended up being WRONG. Wasn't a big deal but it ate up a few hours as I tried to follow the procedure with the wrong drivers and with a 300Gig image to transfer... there goes a few hours. The Win 7 procedure is okay-ish but plenty of opportunities to botch it: Make recovery disk, make image backup of data (kept mine on an external HDD), tell your Bios you want RAID, configure your raid (ctrl+F1 i think... it tells you when you boot up), boot from recovery, option to restore from image, install drivers, pick the RAID drivers from your storage location (again had mine on a USB drive, thumb this time) in my case I had two drivers and a RAID console... installed all three no problem. With the first set of WRONG drivers I had it gave me like 50 drivers to chose from... it took forever to do whatever it was doing and gave no indication that it correctly installed so I went on to install the rest just to see what would happen and I would get an error message. when I got the correct drivers there was still no indication of "successful install" but I never got an error message and there was only three to choose from instead of 50 so I felt a lot better), Okay, where were we... yes, now just continue to load the image with all your files/settings and VOILA, DONE!! SIMPLE, right!?!? lol.. anyways it works, just a few steps to follow. I'm sure everyone's experience is a little different. I can't tell you how happy I was to walk back into my room and see that my computer had rebooted itself and all my desktop clutter/i-net favorites and everything else was right back where it should be but now on a 1.2 TB RAID array instead of 640GB... well, that's partially true... the drives were there but I had to go right click on "Computer" from start menue and then select "manage" and adjust settings in the disk managment section... Yeah... WOOHOO more crap to do! Well after clumsily Googling and a few head scratching moments and actions that didn't work... I think I ended up extending a drive or something and then VOILA went from 640GB to 1.2 TB. No data lost, no complete reinstall of Win 7. Just an awesome nerd experience for me to share. YES!!!

I bought this 1.5 years ago and so far have had no issues with it. Performance is pretty good, though it is a tiny bit noisy. HD Tune Pro says that the default AAM setting is 128 (low noise) - but on a performance drive how could that be? It must be reading it wrong. I set it to 254 (high performance) anyway. It makes quite a bit of difference. This drive does make some noise at times when randomly seeking (ex. booting Windows), and I can hear it even though it's in my mid-ATX case that's under the desk. Otherwise, aside from the motor running (and that's not much, it might be my Samsung drive), I can barely hear it.This drive runs a bit hotter than my Samsung, but I believe that one is not meant for performance, which this is. Right now it's 76F or so in here and the WD is at 39C, and the samsung is at 33C. I have the os and programs on the wd though, just some files on the samsung. That's a little odd though, given the Samsung is on the top drive bay and this WD is on the bottom (one free bay inbetween them).Given the luck I've had with WD drives, I'm expecting this to last for quite a while. Of course, the 5 year warranty should help if I ever have an issue.Although SATA 2 is typical, I'm really not sure why they bother given a spinning hard disk cannot saturate the bandwidth of SATA 1 (in theory anyway).Anyway, this is a good drive and I'd definitely buy another one if I needed it (maybe higher capacity though). $70 for 640GB isn't too great when you can get 2TB drives for less than $100. They are significantly slower drives though. I bet the $80 WD Caviar Green 2TB doesn't compare with performance.

Okay so i received my hard drive in the mail today, and it was packaged in a small priority Envelope, once single piece of packing paper around it for shielding. Really you couldn't spend 1.50 more and get a small box and pack it better. your shipping a HARD DRIVE!!!they are very temperamental, you cant ship them like that without the proper packing...Im just flabbergasted that you really sent me my hard drive like this. i am really amazed. Other than that i will try out the hard drive tonight or tomorrow to see if it works. i hoping for the best.

I have been looking for a pair of drives (primary/clone) for an aging server for preventive maintenance purposes. The server is 5 or 6 years old and has been running without issue having a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 80GB 8MB cache 1.5Gb/s SATA (SATA-150) system drive. There have not been any issues whatsoever, yet with drive prices declining, capacities increasing along with performance it seemed like a no-brainer to upgrade/replace the drive. I leaned towards WD Black because I need reliability and performance - again, this drive seemed the obvious choice.Well, having cloned the old drive on to this one, we ran our application and experienced a performance drop. We had a 15% performance gain a few months back when we went from 2GB memory to 4GB. We lost that gain with this drive. Additionally the drive is significantly noisier than the old Maxtor - not an issue in our case since the server is in a location where there aren't any people, but if considering this drive for a desktop, be prepared.I'm hoping that the robustness/reliability will compensate for the performance loss we're now seeing. We'll probably let the drive go another few days and decide. Maybe we'll just stick with the old Maxtor and the clone we keep and find a different purpose for these black drives.I'm somewhat disappointed.Update 5/14/11 - raised rating to 4 star. Changed setting in Dell BIOS under HD Acoustics from Performance to "Let the drive decide" and got back the 15% performance drop we saw. Additionally drive is significantly quieter now, and performing faster. I was still hoping for a performance gain from the original Maxtor drive that was replaced. We'll see. For now, I'm happier.

I bought this drive to replace a Green version that started to fail after only a few months. I've only had it installed for about 3 days, I use it in a system that I built used mainly for casual gaming. It has an AMD FX 6100 processor, Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard, Kingston Technology Hyper X 8GB DDR3 memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5450 graphics card...It ran very well with the Green until it started to fail and now it seems a little choppy with this drve, not sure if it's the video card or the drive trying to keep up, all in all the drive is working good though

This is probably the worst experience I have had with a PC component supplier in my 20 years building computers.Supposedly WD's flagship sku at the time of purchase last year, backed by a fancy 5 year warranty (which is terrible, read on) the 1TB Caviar Black died within a year of purchase despite light use (94% unused). I don't know about you but when one pays through the nose for a top end product, you expect it to last a little longer than this did. Btw, here's my rig: Corsair PS, 6GB Corsair tri-channel DDR3, i7 920/intel dx58so, Antec Solo case, Dual crossfire ATI 4870s. Bad **s, right? (I work in the industry, for a CPU chipmaker - not Amd!).It gets worse. I filed the RMA online with Western Digital, where one has to wait 7 days for pickup (can u believe!), and guess what, I am still waiting 30 days later for the pickup and still no word from WD. The moron at the call center asked me to wait till the RMA expires (after 30 days) and open a new one, wait another 7 days wait for pickup and further 3 weeks for the RMA process to complete, totaling my PC down time to 60 days! (Btw, the customer service manager refused to take my call when I asked for the matter to be escalated.)Can't believe these idiots stay in business.In summary, the Black's decent product performance was overshadowed by awful reliability, and even worse customer service. Never again will I buy or endorse WD. Save your time and buy Seagate or an Intel SSD. I will.

2TB capacity, large cache, high performance, for under $200...actually almost $150 these days? Hard to believe.I gave it a try and bought 2 of them. They seemed good for 2-3 months, then I started to get SMART monitoring errors...hrm, ok well, they were in a s/w raid1 array and western digital claims the drives should not be placed in any raid configuration.OK - reconfigure the drives to run as single units and follow best practices/etc. Drive 1 dies a few weeks later. WD replaces it easily with a newer version w/ a much higher serial number (the original was very low so I might have gotten some of the first production batches).That drive is now running fine, w/o any real issues, although the SMART load_cycle_count has been increasing faster than it should which could be fixed for most controllers, but not w/ the 3ware JBOD controller I'm using. Hrm...well, it might fail a few years down the line and I'll deal with it then. WD does have a 5yr warranty.Drive 2 fails about 6 months after purchase. Monitoring picks up huge numbers of offline uncorrectable errors. This drive also had a very low serial number so it could have been suffering initial production problems. RMA'd easily. However, WDC sent out a "recertified" drive with a modestly low serial number and this drive is reporting errors within days of install.I have 5 of the WDC enterprise RE4 drives installed for ~6months w/o any issues (smart reports show wonderful health) and the only drives I've had issues with are the caviar blacks which are tending towards 150% failure rate... I'm going to try upgrading the SATA cable of the current problematic drive.Going forward, for WDC SATA, I'll only be buying the RE4's. No more caviar black.

Nothing I can say against this drive, ~$100 for 1TB and a caviar black at that.I have this on an ASUS Server board's Marvell RAID controller in a RAID 1 with another (identical drive) I had purchased previously from Newegg. Been great so far as my main data archive.-----------UPDATE----------------I've now used this drive in several different configurations since June 2009 when I originally wrote this review, and I'd like to supplement what I previously wrote. I'll probably be duplicating a lot of what other have written, but so what - my unique experience might help you with your situation (contact me with questions if you wish)First, general notes:This drive is fast, cool, and quiet. The only time I ever hear it is when it spools up from being asleep, and when its crunching on a particularly large file (or large series of files). Usually, my velociraptor (or NAS) drowns it out.Next, Pros and Cons:Pros:32 MB Cache, w/ Dual CPU - minimal use of my xeons to run this drivePrice per TB - falling every day5 Year Warranty - I can see this drive still working in 5 yearshigher density platter design - improves seek timeCons:Spool Up Time from power save - if I wanted a power saver I'd have bought a caviar GreenRAID - does not work well in RAID arrays (WD trying to sell more expensive RE versions)Bottom Line:So long as you know that you're getting a bulk drive (no cables or OEM packaging) and don't intend to try and do RAID arrays without working firmware magic, then this is an outstanding drive. The performance, reliability, and warranty make it a no-brainer purchase.If you want to do RAIDs, look at the samsung spinpoint raid drives or the deskstars (or spend the money to get the RE drives).If you want a power saver, go for a Caviar GreenIf you want more speed, then you're looking at setting up a RAID0, using a WD velociraptor, or using SSDsIf you think that your planned useage fits with the functionality of this drive, then go for it! You won't regret it!-------------------Configs and Notes------------------Workstation:ASUS DSEB-DG Server BoardDual Intel Xeon 52XX Dual Core CPUs (not a production chip)8 GB FBDIMM ECC Memory (DDR2 800)WD Velociraptor 300 GB 10,000 RPM SATA2PNY GTX 265Creative X-Fi Sound CardCorsair 1000W Power SupplyThermaltake Armor CaseUses of Drive:Configuration 1 - Software RAID1 on Marvell Raid controller on ASUS DSEB-DG mainboardConfiguration 2 - Hardware RAID1 on Synology DS 209 NASConfiguration 3 - Data drive on my main workstation (I sold its older brother)Config 1 notes - I discarded this usage because I was worried about my ability to rebuild the RAID array if a drive failed (or my motherboard). I had troubles building the array with the Marvel software, and was worried that in re-building I might lose all my data. Thus, I switched to a Synology DS 209 NASConfig 2 notes - these drives do NOT work well in a RAID1. Many have had this issue. Unfortunately I purchased mine AFTER WD changed the firmware to not allow RAID in their non-RE3 drives. Now, I've heard of a colleague successfully flashing the RE3 firmware onto this drive, but I have no idea how he did it. But, I simply purchased (2) Hitachi Deskstar 2TB drives for my NAS, and sold my second caviar black to a friend to subsidize the project (see my separate review of the hitachis)Config 3 Notes - Operating by itself (internal drive) is essentially what this was designed to do, and it does it well. The only con is the spool up mentioned - although it saves power, it takes about 15 seconds, which can be annoying

I bought this Western Digital 750 GB Caviar Black SATA 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive for my MAC 21" Aluminum Intel. After 4-5 years of everyday use my old drive started going very WONKY on me. It wouldn't start up sometimes. It would take forever to do simple tasks, kept getting that dreaded beachball of death, etc. I did some research and realized my Drive was about to commit seppuku. I was already picturing my beautiful, trusted MAC on the curb by it's lonesome self waiting for the garbage truck! Someone said just install a new drive. I decided I wasn't going to pay somebody $100 to look at it, $300 for a new drive, another $100 to install it and wait 2 weeks for it to be done. I Youtubed it and learned how to install the drive myself and it only took a couple of hours to take out the old one and put the in the new. I also decided to up the RAM from 2 to 4 gigs and install a new internal clock battery.I figured I might as well do it since I don't want to take apart my MAC again. It works way BETTER and FASTER than the original drive that came with the machine. The drive is very quiet too. I feel like I have a new MAC for the price that I paid for the drive (free shipping too). People were complaining about the packaging of WD Drives but I think Amazon straightened that problem out with better and safer packaging. So far this Western Digital 750 GB Caviar Black works like a charm! If it lasts as long as my old one I will be very happy! Thanks Amazon, I've been buying from here for years now and I haven't had a single problem with you yet!

I bought 2 of these from amazon themselves, I have them on 2 machines and are working great. But, here is what i don't understand. i bought them from amazon for $85 a piece, and now each costs over $250. This is just a year ago and its four times the price. Looks to me people are being taken for a ride. This is bad business model. Hardware price and cost of manufacturing keeps going down due to technological improvements and delivery system. But here we see Amazon is taking people for a ride or has the products become so costly? can't figure it out.

The first FASS drive I bought from Amazon was dead on arrival in July, 2010. I contacted WD directly and they sent a replacement. Now it's Oct. 2011 and the replacement drive is about to die. I've noticed several other people say that their FASS drive died some time after the 1 year mark. WD just sent me the 2002FAEX drive instead of another FASS drive (thank goodness for the 5 year warranty). After reading some reviews it appears the drives have identical specs, but the 2002FAEX is a newer version of the FASS drive. I haven't installed the new drive yet so I can't comment on it. Based on my experiences I wouldn't recommend the FASS drive.FYI, if you don't know about Tom's Hardware please check it out. [...] They publish reviews on many components and the community responses to questions are excellent.

I purchased the 2 TB drive to put in my late 2007 model iMac. The original drive hadn't crashed, I just ran out of room and the original 320 GB HDD just wasn't cutting it.I ordered this from [...] because the price they were offering ([...]) was outstanding, along with free shipping and no sales tax. I find it worthy to note that less than 24 hours after I purchased this, the price dropped by $3. I contacted buy.com about this and they refunded me the $3 difference--excellent service (and ensuring repeat business, I might add).The HDD arrived four days after I ordered it, on the earliest possible day in the given shipping window. The drive was packed very securely, with plastic supports keeping the bagged drive safe in its small box; the small box was shipped in a larger box filled with polystyrene. I had no issues with poor packing, and the drive was completely fine.Following some guides online, I was able to replace the HDD in my iMac fairly painlessly; the entire process took about an hour. If I had to do it all over again, I could probably do the swap within 30 minutes or less. I used my Snow Leopard upgrade disc to format the new drive (which took about 10 seconds) and restore my computer from a Time Machine backup I made just before the operation. The backup took less than four hours to move 250 GB of data from the backup drive to the new drive, and after a restart it appears to be a flawless copy.(For those who are interested, I removed the plist from the backup file preventing the backup of certain directories so that all of the data on my computer was preserved. I keep most of the non-critical cache files cleaned out, so it only added an extra 2 GB or so to the backup size.)This drive offers substantial improvements over the previous. The speed increase is dramatic (64 MB cache vs. 8 MB) and the noise level is certainly quieter than I had expected. Although the drive is louder than the previous drive (the clicking of the drive is more pronounced), it is only really noticeable when the room is silent. It runs a bit hotter than the previous drive, but that's to be expected for the performance gain.Since I've only had this installed for a couple of hours, I can't really grade the longevity. My previous experience with WD drives has been generally good, and the previous drive was able to sustain more than two years of heavy use none the worse for wear. I can only hope this drive enjoys the same long life, but the 5 year warranty is very reassuring.As soon as things have settled down I'll be using Boot Camp to set up a new Windows partition; we'll see how that goes.

From my experience with Western Digital, I loved the way I could access my data really fast with MASSIVE 64MB data cache permitting fastest read/write cycles known, critical for data backup and retrieval.I also bought this brand and model because I am confident of the way WD drives are made and last: they work!BEST. I have had others and have problems some time after.No fuss, or hard drive platter noise here. If you have problems be sure to backup to another media (CD, DVD, Blue-ray, Net Storage, as after some time - and no testing or maintenance - some drives may fail. I can personally state I have had 5 Western Digital Hard Drives in my PCs and only two failed - because of lightning or electronic defect, over the ten years I have built or designed my PCs. Other than this...PERFECT. Call or email WD Support and within a week, they we will exchange your drive. They have very helpful techs.In Windows 7 a 2TB drive formats out to ~1.8TB (taking ~1 hour to get done).

I've only had this drive a month or so, so obviously I can't speak to long-term reliability or anything. Speed seems fine, but not awesome (really 7200PM is what most desktop drives were up until the "smartpower/intellipower" stuff came along, so this shouldn't surprise me). The 5yr warranty provides some comfort.I did encounter a problem with it already though, which is somewhat concerning, but may somehow be partly the fault of my system (a relatively new Core i7 desktop from Dell). Essentially it seems to have a problem waking up from a sleep state. I'm not sure if this has to do specifically with full-system sleep, or also selective sleep of the hardware (i.e. power down hard drives after 20 minutes of inactivity). I disabled the latter and stopped using the former and so far things are fine. But the drive would basically disappear often times after waking from full system sleep and only a full reboot would restore it. This would have affected by rating more but I'm not certain yet whether it has something to do with my system.Other than that issue it's been pretty solid, but it's a bit noisy. Certainly more so than my other drives (though not the loudest drive I've heard).Overall it's ok, and I think it accomplishes the goal for me which was to have a large amount of storage that was at least a bit faster than a "Green" drive. But I might buy a Seagate Barracuda next time...

I'm currently running 7 drives in my computer (a mix of 4 IDE's and 3 SATA's, using WD and Seagate among all of those). The latest of these is a 1TB WD Caviar Black hard drive running through a Vantec 6-port SATA II 150 PCi host card with RAID. After doing an exhaustive search of various Seagate and Western Digital drives in the 1, 1.5, and 2 TB range, I finally settled on this one because it appears to have the lowest failure rate out of most of the Caviar Green, Caviar Blue, and Seagate models I looked around at. I also took various reviews of the different models into account (on Amazon, TigerDirect, and NewEgg), not just technical specs.I was originally looking for one of the Seagate 1.5 TB drives, but after reading about the bricking issues with different models (Barracuda 7200.11, ES.2 SATA and DiamondMax 22 drives) which I believe has now been remedied with firmware fixes by Seagate last year?), as well as reading about a high number of failure rates (and thereby low ratings and quite low prices - I assume because of the high failure rates) for the 1.5 TB drives on TigerDirect, NewEgg, and Amazon, I finally decided to dig around for any kind of a more reliable drive. The 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black is certainly less in storage than 1.5 TB obviously, but the stability is what I needed with my work (audio mixing, graphics, and computer programming). I needed something that would hold up. And, when I saw the 5 year warranty, plus 399 reviews with 4.5 out of 5 stars here on Amazon, 4.5 out of 5 on TigerDirect (28 reviews), and 4 out 5 on NewEgg (2490 reviews!), that pretty well helped me make up my mind with this getting this drive. I've now had it over a month and it's doing good. Still wishing I could've gotten a 1.5 TB drive, but with the amount of problems I kept reading about with the Seagate drives right now (Seagate usually being my choice), I finally had to go with this one. I'm just not willing to trust the 1.5 TB's of *any* manufacturer right now for that matter. Info on this one is WD1001FALS, 1 TB, 3.0 SATA, Caviar Black, Western Digital.I also noticed that Western Digital has released a 6.0 SATA version of this drive, but I haven't read any reviews on it yet.

I've bought this drive (640G) in 2009 as an exchange for seagate 500G which originally came with mydell desktop(Seagate becomes somewhat noisy and I also wanted a little bigger capacity.denote, that despite the noise, Seagate worked fine for 3.5 years and I never had any data loss/correctness problem with it).It turned out it was a BIG mistake ( I should have bought another Seagate).WDC, which I bought, worked OK for 1 year then I couldn't boot from it.Since it was under warranty, I called WD and they send me a replacement drive.Luckily I was able to connect a bad drive as a slave and salvage all the important data.Today, the replacement drive (which I have had for less then a year developed the problems: "Timeout waiting for IRQ" per Dell Diagnostic Suite.I called WD again and they are sending me second replacement.Representative told me they sending "re-certified" drives to replace bad ones under warrantyHe assured me "re-certified" are as good as new.I am EXTREMELY disappointed in this drive quality - 2 replacements in 2.5 year,each time I need to spent hours on diagnostics, salvaging data, reinstalling OSs etc.(I understand one can get wrong but two in the row !). I am consider myself very luckythat in both cases I can connect bad drives as slave and at least access them to get the data out.I'll never buy their product again.P.S. I need to mention that their customer service is good, no waiting on the phone, replacementsare send quickly ( they need credit card if you want advanced replacement - getting a new drivebefore sending them back an old one, while cc is not actually charged, this amount is sort "withheld" from your balance).But id doesn't cover for such quality problems with the drive itself.

This drive was the best I could find for ~$100 (Dec 2009). It's still performing flawlessly. It's a little noisy sometimes, but well worth it.To quote another reviewer (other site):"What happened in Thailand was a tragedy, and hopefully in 6-12 months, they will get everything back in order. Until then, be patient."

I bought one of these new in early 2009. A few weeks ago, just before Memorial Day, the drive died. The drive will not spin up and even keeps the computer from booting if it's plugged in (it was configured as the D: drive). After searching on the web, I found several posts of people who have had the exact same problem. Seems that the board mounted outside the drive gets too hot and self destructs. WD does warranty the drive - but you still lose whatever data you didn't have backed up. For me that meant reinstalling every program I had, plus over a week of restore (thank god for Carbonite!). Even with this problem, I would have given the drive a better rating if WD made replacement boards available for these drives, or offered to repair the drive for users. But they don't. This also explains why you see so many vendors carrying refurbished drives for this model.
