Designed for digital artists, video editors, photographers, gamers, system builders, and more, the 10TB WD_BLACK Performance SATA III 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive from WD is optimized for drive performance so you can spend more time experiencing the things you love most. When paired with an SSD for a dual-drive configuration, you’ll further benefit from the caching of your OS onto the SSD for increased performance.
This 10TB drive operates using a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a 256MB cache, and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, all of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a sustained rate of up to 263 MB/s. This drive also features high levels of reliability, with 300,000 load/unload cycles and <1 in 1014 non-recoverable read errors per bits read. Also built into this drive are WD’s StableTrac and Dynamic Cache Technology to help increase reliability and optimize performance.

This drive is everything I wanted for the new PC that I was building; lots of storage space, fast data access and transfer rates, a brand that I trust and a great price

Price will always be the most important factor in our purchase decisions. The 2 terabyte WD Black drive is the sweet spot of all the drives as it has an acceptable amount of space (1.8T realistically available) and a great medium price point. But don’t forget what else you get with this, faster than average speeds and a FIVE YEAR WARRANTY. Western digital is pretty much saying this drive will not fail you anytime soon. Above all else we need our drives to work and be reliable, and after 5 years we can switch out to new drives for peace of mind. Great price, honestly good speeds, lots of space, very satisfied with my purchase. I use it for gaming and music production (live recording and playback). No issues. It does make normal traditional HD noise as expected.

I always use and have been happy with the Western Digital Hard Drives. I’ve had great results with the WD line of products for over 30 years and recommend them. This is a great drive in the mechanical side of drives and they make SSD’s as well.

I got 2 of these (2x 6TB) to set up a RAID in a new PC build, so far they work great. I’m a WD fan, and these will hopefully have all the performance I need.

I use light room and Photoshop every day. I need security of knowing that the hard drive will load and respond with no delay. This is my third WD black HD and so far no problems what so ever.5 year warranty should say use with confidence.

Recently my nine year old iMac HD died, I didn’t know what to do or how it might cost (other than buying a new iMac), so I contacted an IT guy who worked in the office. He explained everything to me and made the purchase that night, a week later I had the new HD installed and was setting up my system… I really couldn’t be happier!! I had a 328gig in the original, and got a 1TB installed at a price point I was thrilled about. If I need something else, I’ll definitely be ordering from B&H again!!

If you want a reliable drive, look no further. The 5-year warranty says it all. Western Digital’s Caviar Black drives are so reliable the company is willing to warranty them for five years. That’s the best warranty in the industry. You can buy cheaper drives, but you get what you pay for. I’m not willing to risk my data on a cheap drive failing. I own two of these. I use them for my audio sample libraries, many of which have to be streamed at 7200 rpm, so those crippled 5400 rpm energy saving drives can’t get the job done. One drive is the primary drive, and the second drive is the backup drive. They’ve performed flawlessly and quietly for the last couple of years. In fact, I’ve outgrown them, capacity-wise, so I’m going to replace them with two Caviar Black 4TB drives. But I’ll use the two 2TB drives for other data storage needs. They have many years of reliable service left on them, and three years of warranty remaining. The best insurance against data loss is using a high quality drive, and back it up. Caviar Black drives get that job done. They’re my choice for reliable data storage.

Excellent performance can be expected for a long time from this drive. It is certainly the standard other drive are measured by for serious PC users.

Installed it into a new build as my primary drive. I haven’t done a build in a number of years and there were no problems, I’ll probably buy a second drive shortly.

I need to amend my prior one-star review (Headline: Constant PWL Noise, Work-Stoppage Head-Parking). I was mistaken when I identified this hard drive as the source of my problems! Around the same time I installed the drive, I had also started working with a client who relies heavily on DropBox syncing: I’ve since figured out that DropBox’s constant syncing of team assets is what’s been annihilating my system reliability, and I’ve been managing the issue by Pausing Sync with excellent results. I’m back to loving these drives like I always used to! I’m posting this review to mitigate the old one, and seeing if I can get it taken down.

I’ve been pleased with the relative ease of installation of this product, though I haven’t had the opportunity to test its storage capacity. Windows does not immediately recognize this storage device, so it has to be formatted before it can be used. I can’t address the speed of the reading and writing of this drive, but I would recommend it thus far.
