Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB review

The Western Digital Caviar Black range of hard disks is backed up by a five-year warranty, which is reassuring if you're after a storage disk for important data; remember to back up all the same, as a warranty won't get lost data back in case of damage or failure.

Second failure.

I bought a WD black 1TB a few years ago and it ended up failing on me. So I bought another WD black 1TB. And now it too has just failed. Research complete. I need to switch brands.

Really good. I use it with a Samsung 850 evo 250gb for best results. I have Windows on the SSD and frequently used programs. And then all the games, images, videos and more applications on this disk. I recommend this strongly if you have an SSD to.

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.
