Capacity uprade

It is the capacity I was looking for at a good price. I have used WD and Western Digital Drive for years. Never had a bad one yet, the only reason for buying new drives was storage capacities.

WD Black Replacement

This drive replaced my 12 year old WD Black drive that failed. I use it in a raid mirror configuration so I lost no data. I've used WD drives for many years and rarely had problems.

Needed a Hard Drive to add storage to prefab

So far a trusted brand with reliable hard drives, only two that failed prematurely were fried or dropped.

Best HDDs ever

The "Black" series are the best HDDs - quiet and long lasting. I use 6 of them on my system and have never had an issue. Highly recommended!

Slow mechanical drive. Lousy for gaming.

Slow mechanical drive. When I was looking at reviews I saw this mis-advertised as an SSD somewhere and never realized the difference until I installed it. A mechanical gaming drive doesn't make sense. Load and install times take forever. I highly don't recommend.

[PT-BR] HDs DEFEITUOSOS E ATENDIMENTO RUIM

[PT-BR] Gostaria de deixar aqui registrado minha total INDIGNAÇÃO com a WD. Não imaginei que passaria por isso com esta Marca! Comprei um WD Black de 2TB no final de Fevereiro (02/24), chegou no início de Março (03/02). O Hd começou apresentar ruídos estranhos. Quando verifiquei no "crystaldiskinfo" o hd em 30 dias de uso tinha desligado e ligado mais de 531 vezes (04/05)!!! Sendo que um ssd que tenho desde 2018 foi ligado e desligado 331 vezes (04/05)! Depois de 24h de testes de 531 vezes subiu para 773 vezes (04/06)! Entrei em contato três vezes no chat online da WD para tirar dúvidas. Abri um RMA, arquei os custos de frete e enviei para a garantia da WD. Após, a WD enviou-me um HD de troca. Pois bem, o HD apresentou o mesmo problema - em 24h esse HD de troca foi ligado e desligado 103 vezes no crystaldiskinfo (04/27), ou seja o mesmo idêntico problema e mesmo ruído! O HD fica reebotando toda hora! Fiz vários testes dentro do que consegui. Tirei fotos, gravei vídeos, tirei capturas de tela - Isso desde o primeiro HD. Para deixar tudo muito bem registrado da forma mais transparente o possível. Entrei em contato novamente no chat online e expliquei tudo direitinho. Falaram que não podiam dar reembolso. Quem deveria dar era o vendedor. Aí eu questionei: "Como eu irei solicitar reembolso para quem vendeu o HD, se o HD que foi-me vendido foi devolvido para a Garantia da WD, sendo enviado-me um outro diferente do primeiro com nota fiscal da WD?" O HD parou de ser reconhecido pelo Windows, tal como o primeiro. Tirei 6 prints(capturas de tela) demonstrando que o HD, de fato, parou de ser reconhecido. Todos os prints eu deixei a tela inteira - sem edição. Entrei em contato novamente no dia 04/27. Fiz tudo que estava ao meu alcance. Deixei tudo documentado. Como não obstante, tive uma resposta que deixou-me indignadissímo. Pois, já havia explicado que o HD tinha parado de ser reconhecido externamente e internamente, desde (04/28). Quando foi (05/06) responderam-me para eu enviar capturas de tela para comprovar que o HD tinha parado mesmo de ser reconhecido SENDO QUE EU JÁ TINHA ENVIADO ISSO NO DIA 04/27 E 04/28. Está sendo uma surpresa para mim passar por isso. Não esperava que os WD Black estivessem dando tantos problemas assim e que o atendimento deixava tanto a desejar. Estou no aguardo de uma tratativa e possibilidade de reembolso.

Secondary Hard Drive Added to Dell Inspiron PC

Hard drive was physically easy to install in Dell Inspiron 3847 with available expansion slot. Keep in mind that neither the computer nor the hard drive package had necessary hard drive screws for installation.

Beware! Other Region Product

Purchased from US WD Store and shipped to USA, but the warranty states "out of region." I had been calling the customer service asking them to fix it, but they did nothing.

Why I use a WD Black as my Primary Drive

I use WD Black as my primary drive on my desktop, I know it's a little slow compared to a SSD but because I move a lot of files and folders it is probably the best of both worlds give what I do.

Perhaps the best value in WD non enterprise drives

A WD Solid Performer. Have not had one fail yet, but two other WD drives have. Purchased this one to replace a failing Toshiba after 16000 hours of use.

Solid quality hdd, about what I'd expect from WD

Always been a fan of Western Digital when it comes to storage and this has lived up to the standards I've placed on it so far.

Drives for RAID

These drives came highly recommended, and of course, the long term will determine their value, but, so far so good. I bought 5 of them to fill a 5 place Drobo unit, and everything worked as it should.

Works on first try

Finally got new HDD installed (needed to buy 2 cables and it is running perfectly fine (after a need to initialize in PC). Will be a 5star rating if its 5yr warranty lives up to its name like many previous WD HDDs have done in past.

Data Data everywhere, and a disk for storage.

In retrospect, I should have bought a larger disk. It is amazing just how much data can be accumulated in a short time. Other than being too small, it is a good choice for small scale data storage. 2TB just is not all that big.
