Used WD Black 750GB SATA 2.5" Mobile Internal Hard Drive

2024-12-30T19:00:00

Been buying WD Black drives since they first came out. Bought many over the years. They last longer than any others I have owned. These 6TB drives have been very stable for me. Love WD drives!

Outstandingly reliable. This could be the 30th drive I have purchased from the WD Black line.

Bought at a real nice price, but... it was Dead On Arrival; was not able to initialize the new disk. Returned it for a prompt full refund. Ended up going with another brand and it installed with zero issues.

5 year warranty from an established company for a rather fast, physically solid, 5TB HD that is Not more expensive than Seagate but has a Much better warranty,, is a GREAT buy. I now have two of these, purchased this year. They are great for backup drives and those backups are Much faster than cloud backups.

I ordered the wrong unit so never opened the box, however I own two PS5's with WD heatsink chips and have had no issues since I purchased them roughly two + years ago.

I've purchase this one single hard drive for my pc and I have not had issues so far. It's simple and easy to use, I just had to reset it to the necessary settings for my pc to begin reading and writing on it. I only need this to transfer all my files and videos, which allows me to save space on my main ssd. I have not throughly tested the speeds as I'm not too tech savvy so I am satisfied with it. However, I was bit confused when I recieve a "generic/no label" hard drive in my package but it was the same specs as the listing. Since I am a bit new in the PC community, I would have assumed the product would match exactly to the listing but there was no other issues. Product works well so I would consider this if you are in the market

I have always gotten very good performance and long life spans from Western Digital Black components. This drive is no exception. The 1TB is listed as the largest size recommended by my notebook's manufacturer. With larger drives so common, it's great this one was still available!

It has a tendency to slow down the computer when running larger applications as soon as it starts up. I've also seen it cause a BSOD (blue screen of death) when immediately trying to run a very demanding game as soon as I start up the PC. I highly recommend their SSD over the HDD although the only problem I've noticed with an SSD is that games take 10X longer to download. When I downloaded mortal combat 1 on the HDD it took the game 3 hours while running 100mbps. I also do not recommend putting main games on the HDD or the operating system. Currently my OS is on the HDD and is fine for because my SSD is only 500 GB but I recommend using the HDD For games you may not play all that often cause games like valorant can take up to 5 minutes to load into the main menu. This is very price efficient though and works great for starting setups and runs very well. I can download a 100gb game in 30 minutes or less with this. HIGHLY recommend for a backup storage but I don't suggest using it as the main running storage.

For over twenty years I have only bought Western Digital, as a system builder, it has always been the most reliable, and I will continue to purchase WD.

As my computer's internal storage grows, I need larger backup drives. The Black series WD drives are great for that purpose. Over time, I put the smaller drives inside my computer case and as the prices go down, I buy larger backup drives. These drives are great for making forensics clones/copies as well.

I bought one of these to replace boot drive in aging HP desktop. The transition went well even after I realized I could not use more than 2TB because of my ancient motherboard. After a couple of days I realized that boot up was faster and that response for virtually everything was faster- did not expect that. So I ordered another. It arrived promptly; but was dead out of box. WD gave me a return form and refunded it promptly after receipt. I bought another and put it in the case. I added another fan to increase ventilation and everything is humming along nicely. WD has always been my favorite storage source.

Recently bought another for extra storage, have them next to a WD Black M.2 1TB. I keep my main games on the M.2, but the ones on these still access and load pretty smooth.

I own many WD Black hard drives because of the higher reliability over the other cheaper models. I use them for basic computer work and to store a large number of digital photos (plus backups). Hard drives are not the place to buy the cheapest. Losing data is bad news.

Good value for the storage capacity. Bought with the 256 cache which should help.

For Hard Drives, it's kind of difficult to rate until we've had them long term, to see if they're going to fail or not. I've only had mine a few months at the time of this review, but so far, so good! It's been very fast, and mostly quiet as far as these kind of drives go, and was a decent price for the amount of storage. It was easy to install and just what my new system was missing. I use the more expensive Solid State Drives for boot up and some of my main files, but I use this to hold all my general storage. That's worked out great so far, and the game performance on it is pretty nice. It gets very high marks on benchmarks for this type of drive. All will be well as long as it holds up. Only time will tell there.

A little loud but does it's job well. Every drive I own is a Western Digital drive and 4 of them are Western Digital Black drives. 10/10

In this review, you will not find a bunch of bench tests and load tests. Just straight up real world feedback from your typical gamer. I was hoping to get 2 years out of this drive with regular gaming etc. I'll update if it dies for any reason. I took this drive out, hooked it up in my PC (3060, 12400f, 16gb RAM) and did a quick format. Renamed it and started loading games. This was surprisingly quiet, I anticipated it to be a lot louder being a purpose-built gaming HDD. It's really not much louder than the fans running at 70%. It's an HDD so you'll hear it spool up and click etc, but I've never had anyone say they can hear it through my mic or anything. Downloading/writing games was quick. I don't believe server speed can beat out the write speed on this drive. I'm running 1.2gbps up and down and I haven't met a server that can get me a game at 10% of that. So no delays when downloading/writing. In use, it works extremely well. I'm using this for storage but I also play off the HDD. I keep my AAA titles on an SSD (WZ2 etc.) and really only have MSFS2020 as far as heavy load games on this. Honestly, it doesn't load MSFS any slower than an SSD. Same goes for Snowrunner. They load right up and there are no issues playing through this HDD, and I play MSFS on very high/ultra. Sometimes the GPU struggles but the HDD does not. Overall, I would highly recommend this to any casual-intermediate PC gamer, ESPECIALLY if you plan to play through the HDD. If you're running a 4090ti and 13900K, maybe put your games on an SSD (you can afford it) but this drive has done everything I've asked of it. Again, if anything changes I'll update but for now, I'm glad I ponied up the extra coin for this drive over a lesser unit.
