This has been a great hard drive so far. I installed this 2TB HD in my Shuttle HTPC system that is connected to my LG flat panel. I reinstalled all of my needed software and was up and running in no time. I have noticed a significant increase in read/write speeds compared to my older model WD HD (also 7200rpm). I have only had the drive for a month or two so the longevity of the drive is still a concern, but I have not had any heat problems or strange clicking and clacking from the drive.The best feature of the drive is clearly the capacity. I filled up my 500gb drive and was looking to replace it with a more capacious drive. I found this 2TB to meet my needs and decided to splurge, and I don't regret the decision.

What can say? If you are reading this then you know what to do with bare drives. All the WD drives I've bought over many years have been great. These are no exception after many months of hard use. Value and reliability.

I've bought three over the year. I liked the idea of a terabyte drive for $99. I work with multi-gigabyte digital video/animation files, and the drive works ok with them. I don't think it can compete with a high-speed disk-array system or stuff like that, but at $99 its not supposed to. One drive didnt boot and i was able to send it back for another and it all happenned smoothly and their replacement worked fine.I bought an external wd drive a few years ago and came to dislike WD intensely as a result (a drive so shoddy that the tech support advised i plug in into the wall (!) instead of a power strip. A very poor product, but knowing i could return these drives, and seeing the ok reviews trhey got, i plunged again, and this time wd appears to have a much better product in this.

The WD Black Caviar 2TB hard-drive came nicely packaged as expected. It was easy as could be to install for having never installed or replaced a hard-drive before. For anyone who is not so computer savvy, Western Digital even provides on line instructions, tutorials, and videos to guide you through the process, should you need assistance. I literally removed the old hard-drive and plugged in the new one...and Waaa Laaa. I would highly recommend this WD Caviar Black 2TB hard-drive to anyone.

First thing first, short story: dead after just 3 weeks, now I'm requesting an RMA to replace it.Long story: I bought this drive to replace my 5 years old backup drive, I was totally happy with the performance, noise and power consumption until 2 days ago it just died, as simple as that. No warnings, just some low noise when it try to start the platters, after 4 attemps it just stops and nothing more happens. I'm an IT pro, so believe me, there was nothing else to do. Now I'm try to use the warranty. Thank God I did delete my data from my old drive.If you buy one, I hope you have a better luck than me...Bottom line: X-bit was right that the performance is great, but they did tell me this was going to happen.

First off, all the reviews about the poor packaging are true. Amazon is really dropping the ball with how they package and ship hard drives. After reading the reviews on here prior to ordering, I opened the box amazed to find bubble wrap on top of my item. Unfortunately, I then proceeded to find absolutely nothing between my hard drive and the bottom of the box once I removed the top layer of bubble wrap.But, for the money, this is a great hard drive. Western Digital is one of the most reliable manufacturers. Lucky for me, mine did not arrive DOA due to its packaging.Bottom line, if you're looking for a great hard drive, WD Caviar Black is your best bet.

I opted for the free shipping and was pleasantly surprised that USPS delivered my package in perfect condition. Amazon double packed the drive, the first package was suspended by air bags in the second box. Great job Amazon this was best packaging for a hard drive that I've seen. I've been using the drive for over 30 days without any problems. It does seem to be faster than my previous Raid 0 setup. Defrag runs a lot faster.

Great quality, I used to trust only in seagate for HDD's, but since the late seagate mistakes for the 7200.11, and even thought I own a 7200.11 disk and still is working perfect... I decided to go with WD for a upgrade and seems like I did the right choice. My 2TB WD CB 7200rpm seems perfect. 1000% recommended.

It was a good drive while it lasted, 1 year and 4 months...Ordered 6/2009 and now it started out with terrible read/write rates. Sent out under warranty, although I bought it hoping for a little better reliability (since they offer 5 year warranty).

I will start off by stating that these are excellent hard drives, as I own several other Black Edition drives. These drives are fast, fairly quiet, and will last a long time if handled correctly. I run mine constantly with no problems. I prefer the 640 GB version using (2) platters over the higher capacity 750 GB or 1 TB model.The drive arrived to me in lightly wrapped bubble wrap with one air bag lying against one side of the drive against the packing box. It is pathetic that Amazon persists in shipping (packaging) these hard drives in such a bad manner. It is a wonder that customers don't have a 50% failure rate from Amazon's poor packaging on these drives.The first thing I did was a full format and then run a complete diagnostics test to determine if the hard drive was damaged or not. Fortunately the hard drive passed all of the diagnostic read-write tests and appears to be ok. Only time will tell if it is going to be reliable. Bottom line is that the drive is excellent - the shipping and packaging are horrible. I will not order any more hard drives from Amazon, but I would not hesitate to buy this hard drive from a different seller or vendor. I give the drive 5 stars, but I have to deduct 1 star for the lousy condition it was shipped in. For those of you contemplating on buying this drive from Amazon, be forewarned it might be a crapshoot if yours gets delivered damaged.

First, like other have mentioned, Amazon could have done a little better for packaging on these. I'm Prime (which I love!) and was slightly dissapointed. It was a medium size box with 3 air bags, 1 of which was deflated. There was then an inner box, which looks like the standard OEM box.This comes with no rails, no SATA and no screws. I knew this going in and have plenty, but just be warned!Loaded Windows 7 in no time and give me a 5.9 on the Win 7 Experience for HD transfer (not sure if this is lowered by my 1.5tb WD Green general storage drive)

I just got this drive and did a fresh install with Windows XP Pro. I was hoping to see a performance increase since I was replacing a 250 gig drive... But I have to say that I haven't noticed much of an increase...The drive runs well so far and I expect it to run well for a very long time.

It's a fine drive at a fine price: quiet, fast, etc. I have mine running in an Ubuntu server build, and no special configuration or screwing around was necessary: just install, partition, and go.However, my first one started failing in less than a month, spewing I/O errors left and right. The good news is that Western Digital's RMA process is pretty painless, and my replacement drive showed up in just a few days. Hopefully, it will last longer.Still, it's hard to argue with that 5 year limited warranty. Clearly, WD expects these to last longer than a few weeks, so I must have just gotten a bad sample. But, I'm knocking it down a star because I can't ignore the fact that I just installed this drive a few weeks ago and already I need to replace it.

I just replaced my boot drive with this drive. The outcome was a flawless. This drive is quiet and fast. I measured its read speed at 90 MB/sec, 70% faster than the drive it replaced. As a bonus, I was able to transfer data from a online another drive to this drive, and take that old drive offline to save power. I am completely satisfied with this upgrade.

A very good drive (I bought it from [...]) and an excelent value for the money. I added it to my DELL XPS410 because I was running out of space. Since I have an aftermarket Power & Cooling PSU, I had plenty of extra power connections. What I didn't keep in mind, unfortunately, was that this is an OEM drive, meaning it doesn't come with anything (like a SATA cable). I bought the SATA cable separately and was on my way... (After installing, for all you newbies out there, if you can't see the drive, it usually means you have to enable that particular SATA location in BIOS menu.)I must also mention that my DELL had nice L-shaped SATA connectors that didn't stick out too far (since my drives are located perpendicular to the tower that is an issue) but the one I bought is a I-shaped connector taking up more space (not a problem for me, since one of my tower panels are permanently off.)PACKAGING: I've read a bunch of bad reviews that Amazon has bad packaging of this particular product. Other products from Amazon I recieved had similar packaging: a big bubble on one side of a product. For books and yo-yo's that may be alright, for electronics that is obviously too little protection. My drive (from [...]) arrived taped several times around in bubble-wrap (the small veriety) so that when I made a mistake of dropping it at the beginning, it just bounced up like a basketball and amazingly IT STILL WORKS FINE (it's been more than 6 months)!For the price IMO this drive cannot be beat! You will do good to buy it.

The basics: Fastest drive I own, biggest drive I own. Easy install. Low noise.The details: With 750GB drives you end up with about 697 usable space due to a megabyte is 1024k not 1000k. so there is the reason why no HD gives you what is stated on the box. The ratio is .93, go figure. This drive is quiet, very low noise when compared to a couple seagates I have. The 32mb buffer is huge, I haven't pushed it yet but is nice to know it is there. I can't say how long it will last but it has a good warranty period. Which I want to insert a note, Back up your important data on writable disk, regularly. Pictures and documents. And encrypt the stuff you don't want to share. It is not a question of if a hard drive will fail, It is when! No matter the Mfg. Copy those pictures you can not get back...do it today.I like this drive and would recommend it to anyone, I would buy another. Mine was packed very securely although most new non-running drives can withstand over 300 Gs.

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.

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...

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!

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.

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.

In a business environment this drive is my first choice. Very good durability and very great performance.There are three color levels in WD drives and the black is their premier line.

I bought 2 of these drives for a Mac Pro. So far there have been no problems and they are very quiet compared to 2 Hitachi drives that they replaced. Very pleased.

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.

I added a couple of these to my Mac Pro and a year later they're still going strong. Installation was super easy (basically, just slide them into an empty hard drive slot) and they've been storing data without any complaints.

Very good hard disk. I bought two of these for raid 0, but one failed after 3 months. Fortunately i recovered all my data. The support is excelent and fast. They changed it in less than 15 days.Pretty fast, hard to configure with xp on raid 0, but if you get a good copy it will be easy.
