The drive in question, Western Digital WD1001FALS Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 32 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD1001FALS, is the Caviar Black, 3 Gb/s unit.I installed it in an elderly XP system with SATA-1 (1.5 Gb/s) only ports and had absolutely no problem with the system recognizing, formatting, or utilizing the drive. For this installation, the 'force SATA-1' jumper was not needed on the drive (jumper information for this drive can be found on the WD website).No heat issues have been noticed, but the computer case involved does have five fans (independent of the power supply) and thus has a good cooling air supply. The new drive also seems not to have added noticeable noise.Formatting did take quite a long time as expected. In use, the drive performs well - certainly at or above the level of other drives in the system.It is too soon to discuss longevity since the drive has only been installed for about two weeks at this point. However, I have had good success with WD drives in the past.Packaging from Amazon was adequate. I would like to see a bit more padding, though.

Was apprehensive about this purchase due to other reviewers' negative comments on packaging. I purchased 2 drives in the same transaction early Sept 2010. Arrived as 1 box with typical airbags inside to prevent shifting. Within this box were 2 smaller boxes. Each smaller box contained an individual drive suspended with end caps that isolate all drive surfaces from the box and provide some shock protection. This was as good or better packaging than I have seen from most other shippers. If I had ordered only one drive and it came in one of the smaller boxes with end caps, without the other box with air bag, I think this still would've been perfectly adequate.Packaging aside - I've had some serious performance issues with WD Green drives on the Mac - perhaps due to frequent spin-up / spin-down cycles - resulting in frequent waits of 5 sec or more while the drive spins up. So far the Black drives seem to work just fine. Nice and quiet too.Seems like Amazon mixes reviews for diff models so to clarify this review is for WD2001FASS (2TB Caviar Black 64MB buffer) drives that were on sale early Sept 2010 for $140 ea.

When building or upgrading computer, I have always used Western Digital drives. They make great reliable drives, have great customer support, and a pretty good warranty on all their drives.I bought this drive for a new personal database server I was building. It was suppose to run along side another Western Digital drive (OS drive). Once the system was built and the drives were installed, both had worked flawlessly. The dual processors on the hard drive does in fact make data transfers move slightly more quickly. So far, the various SMART programs and hardware management utilities the server is running reports that both WD drives are in healthy condition. To date, I've moved about a few terabytes of data to and from the drives with no problems.

I wanted to expand a MacPro, and this was perfect. It takes all of 5 minutes to install. Just turn off the MacPro, pull out the next available metal hanger, screw on the drive, and push the hanger back into the case. Close the case, turn on the computer, ignore the warning that the drive isn't right, start Disk Utilities, and erase the drive and let it reformat as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive. Also, I renamed the drive to HD 2. Bingo, works like a charm.

The WD Black Edition drives are known for their dependability and performance. This drive has a limited 5 year warranty (the blue and green versions have 3 year warranty). It has two processors, 32MB of cache, and the motor shaft is secured on both ends rather than just one end. It is a well-rated drive at the Egg store. I have this drive in a firewire enclosure and have Time Machine backups on it.The packaging was good and bad. The drive was packed in a small box with plastic supports on the ends of the drive which made the drive very secure in this box. The problem was this box was in a larger box with no packaging at all around the smaller box which contained the drive. There was space enough for the smaller box containing the drive to move about during shipping. It was shipped by USPS but the drive was delivered by FedEx to my city, and then turned over to USPS for delivery. The delivery was prompt.

This is for people (like me) who've never done this before... I use Windows Vista and an HP desktop computer.1. Ordered this drive, which arrived promptly. Drive was well packed with foam. As expected, it didn't come with anything else. It works fine, and to me it doesn't seem noisy.2. Ordered Tripp Lite P940-19I Serial ATA (SATA) Signal Cable (19 Inches). Note: older computers won't support SATA. If you have a newer computer, it should work. SATA cables are red and about 1 cm wide, the older cables are about an inch wide and silvery. If your hard drive uses these, don't get this drive.3. Ordered Tripp Lite P946-12I Serial ATA (SATA) Dual Power Adapter Cable - 4pin/2x15pin SATA - 12in. This is a "Y" adapter (optimistically planning for my next hard drive!), but a straight one would also work. I found out after it arrived I already had a SATA power adapter in my case. However, it wouldn't have reached with the available wiring length, so I still ended up using this.4. In my case, the drive requires 4 screws to install it. These are short screws with large flat heads, the heads form a sort of "rail" for it to glide into the rack on. On opening my case, I realized that HP had thoughtfully provided extra screws for future upgrades! The drive does not come with screws.5. Installed drive in rack, plugged in the two cables, no problem.6. Get to Windows. Your new hardware icon should say "locating... installing" or something like that.7. Go to Start-Computer (right click on Computer) - Manage - then to Disk Management. Find your new drive at the bottom of the screen, and click over the "drive 1" (or whatever) designation to make it "online". Then right click the long color band over the drive's partition graphic and start the "new simple volume" wizard. Stayed with the defaults.That's about it, everything worked the first time. After the drive was up and running, I decided to error-check the drive from Windows Explorer (under the tools tab for drive). This gave the unexpected result of giving me a blank screen for several hours while it checked it. When I've error-checked drive c:\, my screen gives me information on what it's doing. This was just totally blank, which was disconcerting, but in a few hours it finished what it was doing and everything worked.I also went into the BIOS on bootup (pressed F10 while booting, don't know if this is the same on other PC's) to see if I needed to do anything there, but I didn't. The new drive was already listed. I did get a new option on booting, to set up the drive in a RAID configuration, I left this alone. (non-RAID)This is written to help first-timers like me. If any experienced computer folks want to comment and add pearls of wisdom feel free!Update: July 26, 2012Three plus years later, lots of usage, working fine, no problems.

I had built a new PC about 8 month's ago and I had this drive as a storage drive along side of a 1TD drive by Western Digital. I have thousands of digital photos and web sites that I need room to get them backed up on. From reading all the reviews from around the web this drive could just as well be used as a main drive and be partitioned into several smaller partitions with ease. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate X64. I purchased this one because my first one gave up way to fast on me but was still under warranty but I needed to get my system up and running quickly. The RMA process has taken some time but at least I'm getting it replaced. Some may wonder why would you get the same drive that just died on you, well it's easy to say they make lousy drives but I've used Western Digital drives for as long as I can remember without having any problems what so ever with them. The only reason I didn't give this drive a perfect rating is because it did give up and when it comes to portability it wasn't meant to be portable though I'm sure you could make it so. All in all it's a great drive and even fairly inexpensive considering the capacity is at or near the top end when it comes to internal hard-drives.The only faster drives out there are the newer solid state drives or SSD drives if you prefer but they don't have the capacity yet and their cost is still pretty high per megabyte.

Enough of the other reviewers have provided information about ease of use, what comes in the box, how to set them up, and debated the various merits of Western Digitals reliability and customer service that I feel no need to restate my own thoughts and opinions on those matters.I purchased these drives to increase the storage space in my home office media server (Dell PowerEdge, 3.0Ghz HT, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, PCI/e SATA II RAID controller). Before selecting a final RAID configuration I did extensive testing of these drives to determine read performance (write isn't that much of an issue when streaming video and music to various locations) and here are the results of those tests.The "control" group was the PowerEdge's two 360GB WD green drives configured in RAID 1 (disk mirroring) (the OS drive is a pair of EIDE 10GB drives in RAID 1). These results are the average of four passes with HD Tune.Control:RAID/Space/Max Read (MB/s)/AVG Read (MB/s)/CPU1 / 360GB / 99.6 / 76 / 2.1%1TB WD Black drivesRAID/Space/Max Read (MB/s)/AVG Read (MB/s)/CPU0 / 4 TB / 205.3 /168.8 / 6.1%1 / 2 TB / 108.6 / 86.3 / 2.9%0-1 / 2 TB / 207.3 /168.6 / 6.5%5 / 3 TB / 233.0 / 205.9 / 8.6%Comparing "apples to apples" in a RAID 1 configuration the 1TB WD Black drives are noticeably faster than the smaller Green drives. I was rather surprised that the RAID 5 configuration scored so much faster than the RAID 0-1 configuration and in the end I went with the RAID5 configuration as it gave me the best "bang for the buck" (reliability, speed, and available space).Prior to implementing RAID5 with these drives on the server the average transfer rate from the WD Green drives to my laptop via 802.11g router was 1.8MB/s (this was tested using large audio and media files). With that same router I am now seeing 4.6MB/s (roughly 42Mbs), which is near enough to the theoretical limit of 54Mbs on the router that I suspect the reason it isn't faster are due to limitations of the router. Doing hardwired tests (plugging the laptop into the 100Mbs ports on the router via a network cable) would seem to confirm this as the transfer rate improved from 1.9MB/s to 10.3MB/s.

I had recently purchased the 500GB green WD Caviar and was not impressed. first off the model number on the box did not match the model number on the drive (i read that this was due to WD including extra space...i.e. one person said they got a 640 with a note in box saying basically surprise you get a bonus) so i thought this was the reason for the discrepancy. it was not and then i went on to read that the drive is not actually variable speed (supposed to be 5400-7200rpm) and that it was fixed at 5400...my test reported 5000 and it was running 5 degree's C hotter than the 750gig drive i have as a backup.the 640gig black version was much better, i went with the free "prime" trial and shipping was hard to believe just over 36 hours from order to in hand. the packaging was poor in my opinion, bubble wrapped the drive ok but the "air pillows" that took up the extra space in the box were busted or half inflated. there was enough room in the box for 2 more drives so it probably got bounced around pretty bad.the drive itself is great..in and hour and 20 minutes i not only ran around the house doing house work but i manged to install windows 7 and most drivers. it still only scores a 5.9 on the windows performance rating, as did the green, but the green's "head parking" caused delays that made program not start then generate an error.you would double click on a program and you could hear the drive click out of the park position after a second then half the time get an error that X failed to run because Y was delayed.so far this drive is solid and well has 4 times the buffer than the green. would recommend over the green versions by far.

First off, I'm your slightly above average computer user. I can build my own computer, but I don't claim to know everything and other techno mumbo jumbo. I usually have to go read on online forums to help me through with some more advanced computer stuff.That said, my WD 250gb drive died on me this past month. It was starting to give me errors and using a program called "Speed Fan", it read the "SMART" data on my hdd and indicated that there were errors in the hdd. It was time to replace!I chose WD because of experience with their green drives. I have 3 green drives (2x750gb 1x1tb) for the past 2 years and they run 24/7 downloading torrents, streaming media to xbox, storing nearly a million pictures, mp3s, etc etc. ZERO problems and the green drives run at an average of about 30 degrees! That's without the fancy cooling that some guys have. I just use a regular [...] Antec case. That beings said, the 250gb WD (non green drive) that died ran at about 42 degrees.I installed this 1tb WD black without a hitch. I chose the 1TB not because i needed the extra storage but the cost over lower capacity drives was minimal that i said "why not." It has dual processor with 32mb cache, and a bunch of other stuff. Also, some online forum people were saying that in the WD black series, the 640gb and 1tb are the fastest compared to the other speeds. This is because of the higher platter density (334?) compared to the other sizes in the series.But does the drive actually perform faster? YES, actually it does. I usually don't notice a speed increase with an upgraded drive but this time I noticed it. It's not HUGE, but noticeable. Firefox and my mail programs are launching just a few seconds faster. HD videos seem to start up faster with less lag.This drive runs about 35-36 degrees in my case, vs the 30 degrees of the green drive. So it does a run a little hotter, but not as hot as my old 250gb.I would recommend this product.I hope this review was helpful to you.PS:The packaging from Amazon really wasn't that great. The guy who posted up how the drive was packaged... via 2 sheets of bubble wrap, that's EXACTLY how my hdd came. I'm not sure if I would order a hdd from Amazon again.

I am not one to write bad reviews, but for the $170+ Price Tag this Drive lacks elegance and silence. I have never heard such a loud hard drive.The Bottome Line, Getting another Samsung Spinpoint 1TB HD (HD103UJ)since the other I have has never been this loud and has worked for MANY years.I read from other reviews that this drive fails after a few weeks and it does not support basic RAID features, also the Warranty is sketchy at best.This is the last Western Digital Product I EVER buy. Buying something like this is supposed to be a lot less worrisome, and even though it says that Amazon.com filled my order I don't know why a 3rd Party name keeps showing up in the item's shipped and sold by description but in the item's sold buy screen in searches it shows up as Amazon.I buy from Amazon a lot and this is by far the worst experience overall, so frustrated that I went out of my way to write this review!

My WD Caviar 1TB hard drive arrive exactly when Amazon said it would arrive. Packaging was very good - The hard drive was in a sealed ESD-protection bag, suspended by plastic packaging in a sturdy box. That box was in a shipping box, with an air-pillow filling the gap, so the inner box didn't shift around. I used the free Super-Saver shipping & the USPS delivered the package in perfect condition.OEM hard drives come without any mounting hardware, so I used my own screws and rubber grommets to mount it. It's a little quieter and considerably faster than the WD 400GB 5400 RPM drive that it replaced. Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

When I need a large 2TB drive, this is one of my top choices. Performance is good, and I've never had a failure.The data you put on a drive is FAR more valuable than the cost of a drive, so why buy cheap drives? I always buy higher end drives not only for their improved performance, but really, for their improved reliability.Recently Seagate began to offer a competitive 2TB unit, I've purchased both models and so far can't say one is better than the other. Thus, buy from the manufacturer you trust most. In the past I only purchased Seagate, but they didn't have a unit to compete with this one, so I purchased a number of these and I've been impressed.I'll continue to buy both Seagate and Western Digital while they continue to perform quickly and reliably for me.

I needed a large capacity SADA drive for my main work computer. This drive is OEM so it did not come with cable but I already had a spare and they are pretty cheap anyway. This drive is SATA II and has a max transfer rate higher than my old SATA I capable motherboard. However, it seem to auto detect my motherboard max transfer rate and so is backwards compatible. Even with this being the case, I still went back into the computer and shorted the SATA II drive pins 5-6 which locks it into the SATA I speed of 150 MB/s. 'Better safe than sorry I always say.

I have an HP MediaSmart Home Server and I wanted to upgrade its storage capability. Purchased 3 of these 2TB beauties. (I still have one slot remaining to fill...will do that a little later.) And here's the thing; I could not find any information anywhere (HP, the forums, etc...) to indicate my server model (EX475) could handle the size of these drives. But I can tell you now, it can!These drives surprised me in two ways: first, they are quiet. And second, they run cooler than the 1TB drives they replaced. For a drive that spins at 7200 rpm, this is really good news. Also, the 5 year warranty is nice to have in the back pocket.And one other thing: Amazon rocked the lowest price and shipped it FREE. Nice!Great news on all counts...way to go Western Digital!

I originally purchased this model Western Digital hard drive back in April 2009 but after about 7 weeks of use it started to die. It eventually did give up the ghost and took about 300GB of stuff I wasn't able to get backed up off of it with it.Western Digital has a RMA procedure in place that involves them trying to up sell you to another model and makes you pay to ship the drive back to them (about $12). I shipped it two day and it took them a week to register the drive even after I was able to confirm it was delivered on time via the tracking number. Then it took them almost two weeks to send me a replacement drive.After the previous experience with this model I was leery of putting any data on the drive but after about a month or so of light use doing temp backups I went ahead and used the drive for its original purchase intent, backup of my main HD (500GB) and storage of music and video files. Sure enough the drive started acting up in all new ways first by making a high pitched whining noise followed by odd clicking sounds. I started trying to get data off the drive and only lost about 200GB this time before it went out on me by not showing up in Windows anymore. Using the drive management utility in Windows 7 it showed up as a RAW partition. Using restoration software I was able to save another 100GB of data before it went out for good.Doing some research reveals that a lot of folks are having the same sorts of problems in about the same time frame with this model drive.I have to admit that this whole experience has made me a bit skittish about purchasing any more WD products which is sad as I've had nothing but very good experiences in the past with their hardware.I did some checking and here in North Carolina if after getting yet another RMA replacement drive it happens again then I can pursue monetary restitution via the AG's office and I will if it happens yet again.

So this is my 2nd WD drive that I've installed on my Macpro. My other 1TB Green WD failed after 6 months and I had to use special software to yank my photography off of the corrupt and failing drive. I went without a 4th drive for a year and decided to finally buy another drive but thought the Black WD drive would be better...Well, it's noisy. Like a miniature jack hammer. It's already getting on my nerves and I'm seriously rethinking even keeping this drive.The clanking and knocking sounds are so loud they can't be ignored.

The Western Digital Caviar Black drives are the industry standard. Those who know, purchase Caviar Black.This drive is superfast and reliable. I have 3 of the 500GB drives as well and love them.If you want storage, get a 1TB or 2TB drive for that purpose. This drive is not JUST for storage, it is for the speediness of the drive and using with an OS as the main C: drive.

I got this drive to replace the 320GB drive my 24" iMac came with to store more photos on. What I got was not only a ton of storage space but a significant boost in speed! The OS boots up much faster than before and my applications (even poky Photoshop) open super fast now! This drive does run a lot hotter than my old one. In iMacs there is a thermistor attached to the hard drive which controls the fan, and you'll want to make sure you re-attach it to this drive when you swap them. The review at Tom's Hardware says it runs at 114? (46?C) and I notice my Mac's fan kicking on a lot more than with the old drive.This drive came packaged well. Like others have said, large outer box with sealed air cushions, inner box with foot suspensions, etc. This is the 5th HDD I've ordered from Amazon and they have all come this way. The other 4 I've had running in a Drobo for over a year with no issues. I don't blame folks for returning shoddily packed items, I would too. I've been lucky with Amazon on these. The origin point for all of my drives was Lexington, KY - so they must know what they're doing at that facility when it comes to packaging.

This review is moreso about the way Amazon shipped me this OEM drive as opposed to a review on the drive itself.Amazon quite literally threw this drive into a cardboard box and mailed it to me. No joke. No protective padding, nothing. This is an OEM drive so it does not have a retail box of its own. The drive is wrapped in a plastic bag and that's it.Someone at Amazon's shipping department figured this hard drive would be fine on its own inside a huge cardboard box with a few other items I ordered, fully and completely unprotected, flapping about in transit.I am entirely and utterly appalled.I haven't even opened or used the drive yet, so sure am I about its flawed physical, internal condition. It's going right back to Amazon for exchange.I gave the product 4 stars because I believe the product itself is most likely worthy of the review. However, the way Amazon mailed this drive to me is astonishing and needs to be pointed out to potential buyers.As for Amazon: Shame on you. I think some additional training is in order at your packaging facilities. I could make an argument regarding the precious materials and resources it takes to create these hard drives, and what a waste it is to "throw it away", quite literally, by packing such a delicate piece of hardware and technology into an unprotected container. Wow, I still can't believe it...Finally, I think it's hilarious Amazon bills this item as "Ships in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging. This item is delivered in an easy-to-open recyclable box and is free of plastic 'clamshells' and wire ties". Ha! Yea, Amazon. You got that right. It ships in AIR.

I read the reviews about this drive arriving in a box with a couple bubble protected and it was flopping all around. Apparently Amazon has heard the rattling of the pitchforks and seen the torches miles off. Mine all came individually boxed and in proper packing containers. They were all fine and have thus far all worked in the application I've used them in.

Been using this hard drive for about half a year now and it is blazing fast. I use it on an older Intel dual core and it works perfectly. I've always stuck to Western Digital drives as they are the most reliable. I didn't want to pay as much for a SSD drive so I just got this Caviar Black drive. Using Windows 7(64 bit) and 4GB of RAM, this HD makes my computer fly. Highly recommended. Great deal on Amazon too.

Good drive, no problem there. There were no instructions or warranty card or anything in the box except the drive. Also, something as delicate as a hard drive should have some protective packaging and FRAGILE marked on the outside. Amazon could do better that that.

Western Digital suffered from a visibility thing for a long time. Their drives would play the grindy game back in the day of 160GB drives, but vast improvements of their technology made these the go-to drives for me when building a system.I tend to buy a WD Black for any system that doesn't require blazing fast drives that sing and dance in the SSD / 10K RPM data load areas, and frankly not many people "need" that except for overcompensating gamers. The one machine I could possibly use that for is a hyped-up editing system that I need fast access, but frankly I'm not going to load up a 512GB SSD drive with all of my movie-making data just to shave off a few minutes from my edits.I have battered these little puppies around like you wouldn't believe, dropping them, leaving them in hot cars, and even in one memorable instance forgetting that the drive was NOT a coffee coaster. These drives take it like a Royal Marine and then some. For $99, you -could- pick up a Seagate 1.5TB on special, but remember, that sale price is there for a reason. These are well-built drives, and for the money they will last. The 32MB buffer and the 7200 RPM are the mainstays of my system, and they are the bulk of my storage systems.

I was a little unsure as to buying this raw HD from Amazon because of earlier posts I read on sloppy packaging for shipping and drives bouncing around the inside of shipping boxes. I am happy to report that my drive was boxed with molded spacers to fit the HD snugly in it's package. If it's a regional thing, I'm here in NYC on the east coast. So any shipping fears I had went unrealized. I installed the drive in my Mac Pro. Installation was a breeze. Performance of the drive, after the prerequisite formatting (which took under a minute), has been flawless. I have another one of these babies that I use with a docking station. Great price and plenty of space. For now.

I recently had two 500 gb drives(wd5000ys) die in external premium My Books, and replaced them with this 1tb internal unit. Hopefully the reliabilty will be back to WD standards that I have always experienced. Drives are always quiet and fast.THE BOX THAT AMAZON USES FOR THESE DRIVES IS FAR INFERIOR TO THE PACKAGING AND CARE I GET WHEN I ORDER A BOOK ON AMz AND WANT IT UNHARMED BY VARIOUS SHIPPING TERRORS. DRIVES COME PACKAGED IN CARDBOARD CUTOUT ARRANGEMENT THAT BASICALLY LEAVES THE DRIVE FLOPPING AROUND IN THE BOX!! WHY DO BOOKS GET BETTER CARE THAN A DELICATE COMPUTER HARD DRIVE? WORST AMz PACKAGING EVER. THEY ARE USUALLY AWESOME AT THIS STUFF.Last note, if you have any of these My Book drives crash, it is not too terribly difficult to put a new drive in the enclosure. The tricky part is getting the goofy case apart. WD is not very good at telling you how to do it, or at least I couldn't find anything at the WD site related to it. You Tube probably has some guy on video showing you how to pull them apart. I managed it. Many of the varieties of WD My Book cases come apart differently too. I had a spare 400gb and put that in the 500gb My Book Premium case, and runs great.Anything else new happens, I will update this. I took one star off for packaging.

I have read of others that have had hard drives fail and yet in many cases I still see an average or better rating for the drive. I just don't get that. In my case, this drive started giving S.M.A.R.T. errors about a week ago which Windows recovery with chkdsk /f seemed to overcome and which allowed me the opportunity to back everything up (that's a good thing) and run normally until the next time I needed to reboot. Then the system would just hang. I am now working through Western Digital for a replacement. I can't reward a product for failing within 60 days so this drive gets a one star rating.

I ordered three of these 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black drives from Amazon.com. I don't usually order computer parts from Amazon but their prices, especially combined with free shipping anywhere in the US, have made them a much more economical option than other online computer part stores.These drives arrived in one box containing three smaller boxes -- each drive was secured in the smaller box by two black plastic form fitted "guards" to immobilize the hard disk and provide cushion. I was very pleased with the packing especially considering some other reviews and pictures I've seen here on Amazon.I installed the drives in a new PC and configured them for RAID0 using the Intel Raid Controller on an ASUS P7P55D Pro motherboard. I get very fast transfer speeds with these disks compared to my old 160GB SATA drives with 16mb of cache. In Windows 7 x64 Professional using HDTach, I record a burst speed of 320MBps and an average transfer rate of 120 MBps. The most stunning part to me is that the average transfer rate stays steady across the entire platter, whereas my old hard disks would see performance drop off as the "end" of the disk was reached.I have never had heat problems with hard drives, and that holds true for these as well. I have one 120mm intake fan in front of the drive cage that pulls air over them and the temperatures seem perfectly normal, even under load.It should be noted that these drives are not intended to be used in RAID1, RAID10, or RAID5 configurations due to some deep recovery state settings that Western Digital has enabled. Your options around this are to spend the extra money for the RE (Raid Edition) drives, or dig around online and find the utility to disable the correct setting. Also, they're a little bit loud, but not obscenely louder than any other hard disk.All in all I highly recommend this drive.

I got this drive to streamline my storage space from a three hard drive setup to an 128GB SSD/2TB HDD combo. However, now that seems like it may have been a bad idea. I was hoping that this hard drive was going to last at least three to four years, if not longer. The drives this was replacing was a 500GB and 640GB. However, just within a week of using this, Windows told me it was a faulty drive, and had to be backed up and replaced/repaired. I never had this trouble with other WD HDDs, this was the first one that I've used that Windows gave me all this trouble. Hate to say it, but I may wind up trading this one in for a (cough)Seagate(cough) or a (double-cough)Hitachi(double-cough).

First off I was low on cash for this one which helped me alot to get an affordable, reliable, and excellent hard drive with great performance. I love every little thing about this hard drive except for the noise. I'm not saying hard drives are not supposed to make noises but this one is a tiny bit to loud when the hard drive is really being used such as downloading, searching, or saving. But you know what? To be honest it really doesn't bother me much, it just startles me when I'm working in a quiet environment and you suddenly hear a small scratching noise... But other than that, this hard drive is a must. Thanks Western Digital, you completely convinced me to choose you instead of seagate.

Of course, everyone, including me, has an opinion, I believe that WD Drives are the best. Good value, great reliability, and over all performance, make it one of the best drive manufacturers on the market. Caviar Black drives are good performance drives that cost fair amounts. Can't go wrong. If you're using the drive for a server or need to save money, power, or noise, go for the green drives.

I bought this drive to replace a WD 750GB 4years old. I replace drive and it was dead out of box. Bad for me was that I did not get to project for six months. I do not recommend this drive.

I bought few months ago from here.As it was my first purchase,i just selected free super saving shipping.So the next day i ran out of patience so i just went to the shipping speed page and selected one day shipping and OMG the total price now was about 110$.Then it arrived at my mail box(i live in qatar,middles east)So a week later i got it from my shipper.When i opened it i saw that there was no foam or air bags.It was just secured with the cardboards of the box.i plugged it in.Then i started to backup my old files and i got this error "Cyclic redundancy error".The hard drive was damaged internally.I did not know how to return the item to amazon and even if i could i would have to pay huge shipping fees.So i didn't return it.Now i am using it but sometimes i get that error but i can't do anything about it except to retry writing what ever i am writing to it.

Product arrived promptly and in good condition, sparely packaged as expected in OEM fashion, no instructions, etc. I'd paid for rapid shipping, since my computer was out of service until I could install the new hard drive - but as it turned out, it requires a "SATA Power connector", something I hadn't encountered before and was not expecting. It was several days before I could get to Radio Shack and pick up the appropriate power cord converter. Once I'd done that, however, all came together easily and quickly in my Linux box.I think another commenter said the drive was noisy. Mine isn't. I have a Dell box that's very quiet in the first place, and I haven't noticed any additional noise from the new hard drive.Except for the SATA power connector 'hiccup', I'm well satisfied and my computer is now running noticeably faster than it was with the hard drive that had died, requiring this replacement.

I ordered two of the 2 TB drives and am running them in a mirrored configuration. They work great but one or both of the drives is occasionally extremely loud compared to the previous 1 TB Hitachi drives I was using.
