Western Digital Caviar Black
Storage always makes for a curious world. Western Digital's newest entry into the terabyte contest--it's second, if you count the company's Caviar Green drive--is geared for enthusiast performance. One look at the insides of this Caviar Black drive tells the entire tale.
Pros:
- Acceptable read and write performance for a terabyte drive
- excellent random access speeds
Cons:
- Only "faster" than our fastest terabyte drive on one splotch of Vista tests

Overpriced
Found these a bit overpriced for the capacity nowadays but these are just what we were looking for so it works!

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA Hard Drive Review
The cost of hard drive storage keeps getting cheaper and cheaper, while the capacity getting larger and larger. A year ago, 1TB drives were several hundred dollars. Now, they're only a few tens of dollars more than their 750 GB and 500 GB brethren.
Pros:
- Speedy
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- Performance could be just a little better

WD Caviar Black 1TB Hard Drive
Benchmarking the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB has really opened my eyes to what kind of speed the latest generation of hard disk drives are capable of. As I mentioned during testing, I can remember when striping two IDE drives in a RAID0 array was the only way to see that kind of performance...

The new 7,200 rpm 2 TB drives from Western Digital, RE4 and Caviar Black, achieved the same performance level. They are a lot faster than the 2 TB "green" models, making them to be the right choice if you are looking for a 2 TB drive.

WD Caviar Black 2TB
Review The 2TB Caviar Black is the second hard drive we have seen with a capacity of two terabytes. Glance back to our 2008 round-up of 1TB drives , which used three or four platters, and you can see that this is pretty much a doubling of areal density.
