Another word on the way AMAZON ships these drives...I am guessing that these little boxes they come in are the way AMAZON gets the OEM's from WD, probably giant pallets of them. Then the AMAZON people see brown boxes that look like they are ready to ship, so they send them out just like that. If you look at the boxes, there are stickers on them that will have you think these are just little boxes that Western Digital ship mass amounts of OEM drives in.NO WAY these boxes are ment to be stacked in a warehouse and shipped like that from these boxes, not with the minimal amount of bubble wrap they stick in there. THOSE 1 or 2 LARGE SIZE PLASTIC BUBBLES inside the box will be flat by the time it gets to you, and I'm telling you guys, if you think UPS or whoever is being used as shipper on these drives is being careful, your fooling yourself!...LOL!!!Call Western Digital yourself and ask them how high of a fall they build these drives to take, or the G-FORCE they are expected to withstand :) I sent 2 of these back to amazon because of this "SHIPPING PROBLEM", and went to NEWEGG insted, at least they understand that it's not ROCKET SCIENCE. I called and BEGGED AMAZON numerous times to get word to someone that these things are DELICATE, and please, if your going to leave them in those little boxes that AMAZON gets them in from Western Digital, at the very least PLEASE PUT THAT BOX INSIDE ANOTHER PROPERLY PACKAGED BOX FOR SHIPPING. All my calls and all my begging went unherd, and NO ONE AT AMAZON would get word to the shipping depts. of the various hubs they have, that you cant have a hard drive banging around in a box like that when UPS or is throwing these things around the way they do.I dont know about the rest of you folks, but let me tell you how I know when I get something at the front door from UPS....Take a book and throw it on the floor next to you, thats what I hear when UPS drops something off to me...lol! So, is it a surprise that you might get a DOA right out of the box?...NOPE!!! Should you be surprised if your drive works fine FOR A WHILE, then takes a dump? Shouldn't be surprised at all, not with the way AMAZON is shipping these and other hard drives.Look at it this way folks, if this were not an OEM, and it was inside a nice pretty colored box with print all over it, AMAZON would take that box and pack it inside another larger box, but since they are getting these drives already inside a small plain brown box, they pull them, slap a shipping label on it and off it goes to UPS's soccar feild...lolI love AMAZON most of the time, but this issue is really frustrating to me. If you don't want to take my word for it, then please call Western DIgital as I said. GO TO NEWEGG and buy your OEM drives from them, at least they wrap the darn things in 5 or so layers of PROPER BUBBLE WRAP. Otherwise, if you buy your new drive as an OEM from AMAZON, when it dies....DON'T SAY SOMEONE DIDN'T WARN YA :)

I bought two of these hard drives for my computer I built. They have been working great for over two years straight. I rarely ever shut off my desktop and these workhorses have been running great all of the time.

I've had this drive for about 1.5-2 years and have not had any issues with it at all and I've been downloading, uploading, and torrenting like a madman. The drive is quiet and performs beautifully. I haven't done any official read/write tests but it seems to be just as fast as any other 7200 RPM drive. Add to this the generous 5-year warranty (which I wish was standard for all hard drives) and I'm completely confident and satisfied with my purchase.

Its not often that I take the time to write a review on a product, but I had to do it for this drive. I have been in the IT field for over 20 years and though I have seen it all.I purchased 3 of the 2TB Black drives in the last month. One here on Amazon and the rest, somewhere else. Out of the 3, 1 was DOA, 2nd died in 3 hours and the last, had so many bad sectors that WD's own software ran for 13 hours and it finally gave up and errored out. This is completely unacceptable in this day and age. How can they be releasing 3TB drives when they have huge issues with the 2TB offerings. It almost seems like they are having problems with the latest batch reading through some review on other sites. I also purchased a couple of the 640GB drives and these Im extremely happy with. Even the 2TB Green drives have been good to me. Out of the 8 that I purchased this year, only one had to be replaced, which I consider acceptable.Thankfully, WD's RMA process is painless, but there is a catch. When you receive your replacement drive, it only comes with a 90-Day Warranty. WD, can explain this to me. How can you reduce the warranty on this drive from 5 years to 90 days when its your QC issues that are causing this high of a failure rate that makes the IBM Deathstar look good.If you are looking for 2TB drives that will not be used in a RAID environment, check out the 2TB Green drives, or even Hitachi.

Bought this drive April 20, '09. I first installed it in an upgraded Mac G4. Since the older G4 Macs used ATA-100 IDE drives, it required installation of a SATA card in one of the PCI slots, which was a Seritek 1S2. This allowed me to exceed the 128 GB size limit due to the G4's design and address the full capacity of this drive (larger IDE drives can be used in old Macs, but the extra capacity is not recognized). The combination of this drive and the SATA card was great and well worth it. Never a problem. The drive proved to be faster, and nearly totally silent. A couple of months back I pulled the drive from the G4 and moved it to a late model dual processor G5 PowerPC, with native SATA support on the bus. I had to do nothing except boot the machine, and I was in business. The drive has proven to be totally compatible, and continues to run quietly and fast. A great value for the price. I've seen other reviews here mentioning packaging: this is a valid complaint. Hard drives need to be handled carefully and packaged well. I'm thinking a lot of failures might be traced back to inadequate packaging and rough handling. Manufacturers are very specific about this. Foam (as described in their packaging instructions), not peanuts or air bags, or other approved shipping containers, must be used to maintain the warranty when shipping the drive.

So far I have used many hard drives from many manufactures including Seagate, Hitachi, WD, Samsung. When I first ordered my Gateway FX6801, it came with 1TB Hitachi hard drive. Although it had 700RPM speed, the disk access was slow, noisy and the booting time it used to take was more compared to Caviar Black hard drive that I am currently using. Post booting, I can now immediately access the Windows 7 desktop after Hitachi hard drive was replaced with WD Caviar Black. Otherwise, I had to wait for a minute at least.I wanted to tell this that after I did the above change, my PC is now fast enough to run CS4, Maya, Sonar8.5, Reason4, MS Office, Sony Vegas9.0 without any issues. No hang ups, no waiting nothing. I am very impressed with these hard drives performance. Last week when I had to order the hard drives for my new Synology DS410 NAS, I ordered two of these drives without even thinking any other drives. These are pricey but worth every penny that we pay. I stream blue ray quality movies (tried Grown Ups) over the network on my Vizio HD TV, Wow!!! I love the performance. If you want reliable, fast and quietest hard drive, go for these without any hesitation. You will never regret. Five stars *****

This hard drive came basically loose in a box and was rattling around. Upon opening the box I found another box. Inside the second box was a hard drive that was basically loose. The second box was constructed in a way that, if it had been made of quality materials may have held the hard drive securely. But because of the cheapness of the construction, it had completely failed (tiny cardboard tabs were supposed to be in tiny slots but weren't) thereby releasing the hard drive so that it could bounce freely around in every direction with every drop or bang.I will *not* consign 2 terabytes of data to a drive that has been shipped improperly and outside of Western Digital's shipping specifications. Hard drives consist of moving parts that must operate at high speeds for years with only microns of tolerance. The *last* thing a hard drive needs is to be banged about for days in a poorly packaged box. I will never buy a hard drive from Amazon again unless it is a retail drive that has been packed securely by the manufacturer.I have no choice but to return the drive in the same crumby box it came in. This means that Amazon, after they receive it, will then ship this drive which has traveled in two directions back to some customer (possibly you) for whom it will probably fail.There is a retailer (with two zs and an f in its name)that ships hard drives properly in a secure foam insert which surrounds the drive on all six sides. They are a little more expensive than Amazon, but at least if there is a problem with the drive..it won't be because of negligent shipping practices.BTW, almost *all* of the large online retailers participate in this folly. Anytime you read reviews of a drive and see lots of DOAs *and* complaints about the packaging you can put two and two together.Oh....also.....I have one of these drives I ordered from the retailer who ships them properly and it is a great drive!

I needed a new gaming drive, my last one (WD Caviar Blue) was full to bursting. This is now the fastest hard drive in my build. Loading screens are as short as they've ever been. I can't say how fast it loads normal applications though since I'm using this as a gaming-drive only. As any quick glance at the description will reveal, the drive has a 32MB cache and dual processors, these coupled with the disk spinning at 7200RPM makes this little puppy blazing fast. I'd say easily one of the best hard drives for the price. I can't say how loud the drive is since my case fans drown out all other noise from the case (and my room >.>) but I can definitely say there's been no clicking.This is a bare drive, so take note. You'll need to have a SATA power, which your PSU probably already has, and a SATA data cable, which can be had for a couple bucks right here on Amazon. The first one I received was DOA, I know very sad. Filled out an RMA and Western Digital sent me a new one right away. It was a tight fit what with my terrible wiring skills and love of over-sized video cards.I've been running this for a month now and have been loving it ever since. If you need plenty of storage at blazing fast speeds, get you one!

The WD1001FALS 1TB drive was just what I needed for my Non Linear Edit system. I needed to expand the drives for captures and this filled the bill. It arrived well packed - shrink wrapped to a folded piece of cardboard suspended inside the carton. Good packing and mostly "green" too! It installed easily and was recognized by WinXp Pro. I formatted and began using. It has been several weeks now and no problems. I have always liked WD and I had a good experience again.

This WD 640 gb Caviar Black was replacing a Seagate Drive that had functioned for several years.I bought the " Black" because of it's extended warranty.Within 60 days it quit working.Amazon's return period is 10 days so I need to send it back to WD and wait for them to replaceit.In the electronics world this is called " Infant Mortality " because if the electronics have bad parts they tend to fail early.

In today's crazy epidemic of failing hard-drives I can tell you that for now I'm sticking to Western Digital in terms of reliability. All of my three seagate drives, that went DOA in 2 months due to manufacturer's firmware and physical error, were meant to be a competition to this drive. Well almost $300 dollars wiser I bought Western Digital and I have three of these puppies (2 in raid 1) and so far so good....knock on wood.

This is a Great HDD.Pros:>Nice looking>Very Fast>Easy to install (well depends on your case)>good packaging> Installed Win 7 in less than 15 min.Cons>None ReallyI was skeptical on the performance of these drives. I've used Velociraptors in the past, and those perform really well but are pricey. Also compared to SSD's 10k + drives are now practically obsolete. So i made a decision and decided to go with these instead of the SSD, and I'm not disappointed.On tests (HD-Tune) these drives perform nearly as well as Velociraptors. But in real life the difference is barley noticeable. You could package these as Velociraptors and no-one would know the difference.I am very impressed with WD's Caviar Black series.Why pay doubled the amount for 1/4 of the storage on an SSD? And if you go raid 0, you will get the SSD speeds with alot of storage.Also, I would recommend after you get settled (install os, programs, transfer files, etc) that you run a disk defrag and optimizer. ( i use Auslogics DiskDefrag) It will increase the speed of your device considerably, and i would run it at least once a month to keep your drive running at optimum speeds!

in answer to amazon's attributes,ease of use anyone can install this drive.2.look at some of the competition's prices for a comparable item. 5 stars 3.)Came factory sealed in antistatic bag held immobile by two plastic trays. 5 stars 4.)portability, i'll take this op to tell you about the two separate discs inside the drive,it's balance, speed and dependability. don't believe me WD has a 5 year warranty on this silky smooth one. and i've always dealt withWD For about 12years and never had one go bad .5 more stars 5.)I just got off the phone with Amazon's cust svc. dept. on another matter 5 stars. 6)Says it all, 5 more freakin' stars. 7)This drive is super fast, whisper quiet, with plenty of storage space for movies, music and games. did i say it was fast? alas(feeling redundant 5 stars. 7.)a FIVE YEAR warranty. Ican't get that on my houehold appliances, or mostof them anyway.You could say that the warranty is cause most of them go bad so they need the warranty.On the other hand imho they all last that long,for the most part and I am hard on my machines. ***** there they are count em folks 5 again and ByeNow.

This drive failed after 1 year and 7 months of light duty in a Drobo. I notice that the code "WD1001FALS" includes an abbreviation for Fails so I guess I was forewarned. No more spending extra for the Black for me.

Great drive! Fast! Quiet! Just plug & go! Incredible noticeable performance difference compared to original Dell stock drive.I have over several hundred thousand personal files on my computer--over and above Windows, installed software, installation backups. I have 150+ GB mp3 files, pictures, etc. One thing I want to avoid at all costs is losing a hard drive. I researched & found this to be the best on the market when I bought it. I was so pleased I bought another, then another, then.... With few exceptions, I believe Amazon has the best prices for these.Using two drives, I have a backup strategy using Acronis True Image Home 2009 and Microsoft SyncToy 2.1 in which I periodically clone one WD 1TB drive to another. I then keep them in sync using SyncToy. The time & effort is negligible. They are easily scheduled. Cloning takes only about 45 minutes, if that. I like this better than a RAID setup. The configuration is simpler and a failure will be easier to recover from--just change the SATA cable. Besides, RAID in no way prevents the spread of viruses, spyware or malware across several drives. It duplicates everything!These drives were a great choice!UPDATE: So far I have bought and installed seven of these for myself and others: 5 1TB, 1 750 GB, and 1 640 GB.Also, I bought two drives from other vendors, thinking I was getting a bargain. They arrived DOA. I personally think Amazon's packing & shipping makes a difference. They were always packed well-protected.

My switch from Seagate to Western Digital started with a WD MyBookWorld network drive that has now been running well on 5 years. Then we needed a larger disk in my son's MacBook laptop and went with a 7200rpm 320Gb WD Caviar Black. Then I needed SATA disks for my first home-built Windows-7 PC, and I read more about the reliability of WD Caviar Black and their 5-year warranty. I looked in my box of old computer parts and noticed a few dead Seagate drives, and only one dead WD drive. No matter what, you still take your chance with disk drives, but my luck with WD has been better than Seagate. So, I went with WD Caviar Black 320Gb and 1Tb drives. Then my son needed more SATA disks for a Mac Pro and his video production classes. The pricing of the 1Tb drives has been very good, so now they are being used all over the house as primaries and backups. A couple external enclosures later, and I have more 1TB drives in eSATA and Firewire enclosures, and a couple 2Tb drives replacing internal 1TB drives. (two MyBookWorld, two 320Gb, eight 1TB and two 2TB's.) I never imagined storing this much data, but a family full of music and videos and eBooks takes a lot of space and requires a lot of backup. And since speed is important, 7200rpm SATA drives are great for eSATA and Firewire. So far, so good (knock on wood). I have not needed to test WD's warranty or return policies on any of these drives.

There's not really much you can say bad about this HDD. No, it's not 2TB and it certainly isn't the best on the market, especially from Western Digital. However when you look at what you get for the price, it's really hard to pass up this drive. I've waited a month before writing a review in case I had to include anything like having to return it or anything like that. Suffice to say, it runs great and I've had zero problems with the drive so far. I've already filled it up more than half capacity at this point. It is pretty quiet too, even when performing intensive writing or reading.I've personally never owned anything but Western Digital drives, and I imagine I'll have this drive for a long time as well. There's a simple reason: reliability. Only one WD drive I've owned has ever stopped working, and it was almost 10 years old when it quit on me. You definitely get your money's worth when you go with a Western Digital drive.

I know a lot of people are having this same problem. When ordering this product through Amazon, you end up receiving the 1TB 32mb cache version instead (which is obviously $99 versus the $264 I paid for it).Like many others, I submitted the online exchange and the second delivery was another 1TB drive.I call Amazon and they guy assures me that they are looking into the issue, and that they will resolve it and send me the correct product overnight. I call back today and get a CSR that tells me I need to return the 2 drives I received and I will get a refund, but they will not be filling my order. Not only that, but I can still buy the product from one of the other vendors through Amazon's open Market.I'm an Amazon Prime Member which of course carries an annual fee, and does NOT apply to Amazon's open market. So I'm supposed to go out of my way and drop off the 2 drives I received in error to UPS so that I can get my refund of $264, then pay $294 plus tax and shipping through Amazon's open market just because they can't fullfill my order.Any other company in the world would be responsible for filling this order. I know this because I myself have lost money many times when the manufacturers I use to are back ordered or send the wrong product. It comes out of my pocket and I deal with the manufactuer myself, but MY CUSTOMER gets what they ordered always.In my opionion Amazon (I write this thinking you actually read this but well all know you don't, you don't care) you should be responsible for filling my order regardless of the loss you receive. You should be buying up stock from your open market through various other vendors and filling the orders placed THROUGH YOU from YOUR CUSTOMERS.This isn't the first time Amazon has done this to me, but it will be the last. I have cancelled my Prime Membership and will no longer be buying anything through Amazon ever again. There are plenty of other viable options out there that actually care about their customers.

Western Digital 640 GB Caviar Black SATA 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD6401AALSI bought this basic as a replacement for my 250 GB Western Digital. I know, you might be thinking chasing the bad with the bad. Hard drives fail and I have had 4 head crashes in 4 different computers and PCs in the last 11 years. Installation was simple because it fit. I used my replacement software with utility to partition the disc and then installed everything that I lost. Fortunately I have backup externals and didn't lose much. I selected double the hard drive cache than I previously was running and the performance is noticeable. Also noticeable is I can't hear the drive running as it is very quiet. That's a plus for me.

I buy Western Digital drives because they have been very reliable for me--I've had dozens over the years. I did have one finally go bad after seven years of daily use.The packaging the drive came in was very good. Lots of Styrofoam and bubble wrap.THIS DRIVE IS FAST! This Black drive has a huge increase in speed over the WD Blue drive it replaces. Visual Studio 2010 launches 72% faster and Expression Blend 4 launches 46% faster. The increase in cost over the blue drive was minimal ~$30 and this one comes with a five year warranty. Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB hard drive--the best I have ever used--a solid performer.

I have been waiting ages for a large capacity hard drive that runs at 7,200rpm and this Caviar black has most definitely answered my call.Lets look at the technical specs first... As Borat would say, They're very nice! (bet you didn't expect a lame Borat reference did you?)It features: Two Processors, Four 500GB platters, 64MB of cache and a dual mode actuator system that, (to make a long story short) enables precision head tracking that speeds up your seek times. Plus like most Western Digital hard drives, this one features a No-Touch loader, meaning the read and write head never comes in contact with any of the platters, increasing the life span of the hard drive.Now to benchmarks. (all testing performed on an Intel 2.4Ghz Q6600 paired with XFX 780i Sli Mobo and recorded in HDTach)First off, this thing has the fastest sustained writes and reads of any standard magnetic drive I've used. (or heard of for that matter) Mine exceeded 113MB/s each compared to my previous 1.5TB Barracuda that scored 99MB/s sustained reads and 84MB/s sustained writes. That gives the Caviar Black about 16 and 30 percent faster sustained reads and writes respectively!Random Access Reads and Writes were also faster for the Caviar Black at 7.4ms and 5ms respectively. Compared to the Barracuda's 12.9 and 5.4.Burst Read speeds for the Caviar Black were 215.1MB/s compared to the Barracuda's 209.1MB/sAlso, just for fun I compared the Caviar Black's benchmarks against my 300GB Western Digital VelociRaptor. (Thinking the VelociRaptor would totally own it) I was pretty shocked at the results.Raptor sustained read/write: 99.1MB/s and 98.2MB/sCaviar sustained read/write: 113.3MB/s and 113.1MB/s (It actually beat it)Raptor random access read/write: 7.3ms and 3.3msCaviar random access read/write: 7.5ms and 4.9ms (Pretty close here)Raptor Burst read: 250.3MB/sCaviar Burst read: 215.1MB/s (O well, can't win em all ;)Not bad considering this thing is running about 27 percent slower than the Raptor. :DBottom line is, the Caviar Black 2TB is a hard drive running nearly as fast (or faster) than a VelociRaptor for about only a hundred bucks more and its six and a half times the capacity. Is it worth it to you? I think it is, the price will only drop in time to come but with this size and these speeds even at the $299msrp I don't think the Caviar Black 2TB's value can be beat at the moment.
