Works better than expected

These drives replaced others in my stash that I put into customer laptops to speed them up. 32mb cache on these drives makes a huge difference on performance over older 16 and 8mb caches of older drives. I use these drives mostly to make backup image copies of customer hard drives, thus the need for speed. I have been impressed at how peppy they are. The 32mb cache makes a huge difference. The only thing I had to do to them was to run chkdsk, reformat, and a few other tests on them before use because even though they were advertised as new, they both were formatted with Dell Windows 10 images so they were not actually new. But for the price, I can overlook that. They must have come from Dell "C" stock. Overall, I am very happy with them.Read full review

Not bad, but not good either

I'm only writing this review, because I understand that hard drives should last a little longer than a few months. I bought one and lasted 6 months. I'm buying a second unit and if it works well, I will rep again.Read full review

Another Great WD Hard Drive

What else can I say about ole reliable....WD hard drives are among the best and although I just received this one and only time will tell, I suspect based on my past experience with WD it will be around for many years of use. The drive is fast, runs a bit warm as most 7200rpm drives do.Read full review

WD Black 500gb

Amazing product.. I’ve had it for about a week so I can say that much about it but it has completely increased the speed of my MacBook Pro since I’ve installed it. I plan on getting another at some point for this other MacBook I’m working on. Overall, my first impressions says it’s a great product so far.Read full review

WD Black Upgrades Ubuntu Laptop

Really too soon to properly access this drive. Durability and reliability can not be determined for another 2-3 years.

This drive boots significantly faster (twice as fast) then my old drive. There appear to be no operational problems.

There is one concerning item. Sometimes when the drive is shut down (looses power) there is a sound. The sound is combination of a beep and a chirp. Drive has been in use about 100 hours, 50 power cycles. So far no problems.Read full review

Drive is quiet and fast. And,...very light, weight-wise

Well...just got it connected to computer system, so, time will tell how "reliable" it is. It seems really fast and it very quiet. Hoping that this will be a nice addition to my other 3.5" drives. Seems so,...so far.Read full review

Go WD Black And You Will Never Go Back

Have always used WD products, dipped my toes in the sea and a few other brands and came right back after several untimely failures. With WD never less than 5 years service on drives in use all day every day. It will be a cold day you know where before I ever try anything different again. Thank You WD for a superior product in every way and no I do not work for anyone, just a regular guy that appreciates quality and reliability, no other company comes anywhere close, Cheers!!Read full review

Quality at a Great Price

I always try to use WD hard drives, as they provide the best performance at a reasonable price. I have a computer repair business and use them all the time. They offer the industry leading 5 year warranty for the black models.Read full review

Worth every penny

Great drive, I had to reformat it in disk management by creating a new volume (It is an old server drive, don't be surprised if it comes up in device manager and not in file explorer), then it worked perfectly well (I'm using it as a makeshift external hard drive with a SATA interface I ripped out of an old seagate external).Read full review
