I have only had the HDD installed for a week and it is performing fine. It might be a little faster than the older Seagate it replaced. I am disappointed in all the noise it makes. It is very loud. My Seagate was quite, but only a 2-year warranty. I went with WD because of the 5-year warranty.

Black is beautiful, but it comes at a price: Since the black series of the WD drives are optimized for performance, they have a slightlxy higher wear and tear than let’s say the green rendition, which has lower revs. That said, the black drives are built for for heavy loads and strong performance rather than quiet or energy-saving operation. These drives come with an unusual five year warrranty, and due to heat problems in my relatively small case I had already some dead soldiers. So if you want to use these drives, make sure they are succiciently cooled.

Very Easy Installation. I say this coming from no technical experience whatsoever. I am a musician! But I took a chance on my 7 year old iMac and did a hard drive upgrade. The installation was the easiest part. It runs really quietly and much quicker than the old drive.

I installed 2 of these drives in a 2012 Mac Pro Tower in less than half an hour. They perform well and appear to be stable. They are used to store intensive material, like video and photographs.

WD is always a reliable manufacturer of high quality hard drives. This drive is no different. I use it on my Mac Pro as a time machine backup. 7200rpm speed is the maximum these HDD drives deliver. Very happy with the performance.

I am in the process of replacing a bunch of HGST drives for my Synology NAS which are starting to show signs of age. I now have 3 of these and about ready to get one more. They are quieter and run cooler than the old HGST drives they are replacing. B&H always superlative service and super good with delivery etc. Of course can’t be upset until a drive prematurely fails but so far so good. Will buy more, would highly recommend this drive and B&H
