When I first started this assignment, I really was not prepared for the sheer amount of time and effort involved in properly testing storage. In the past, I had pretty much taken hard drives and their technology for granted. It sure seems simple enough until you start looking for the differences!

This hard drive is easily in the top 3 7200rpm drives available right now. Of course, it doesn't even come close to a half decent SSD, but the performance you get out of this is unbeatable.

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.

First hard disk delivered to me was warped and did not work, I had to go to the UPS store and get a replacement which took 5 days, but once I got the replacement the hard disk worked flawlessly. Although I was angry that it came broken to me.

Great write/read speed Easy to install

Came broken

A few months back, Futurelooks took a close look at one of the first 2TB drives to hit the market, the Western Digital's Caviar Green 2.0TB SATA2 Hard Drive . A couple of the features that the drive boasted was its massive 2.0 TeraByte capacity while still enjoying respectable low level power...

Earlier this week, Western Digital announced two new additions to their 2 TB product lines.  These new models nudge up the capacity of their Caviar Black and RE (not REx-GP) lines, bringing 2 TB capacities to every series except for their Blue line.

The Western Digital WD1003FZEX is by far the best 1TB SATA HDD for the money. Superior performance and longevity make it an ideal replacement/upgrade for your aging drives.

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.

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...

It's very reliable hard disk. Comes with 5 yr warranty . which is very rare for a hard disk packing was safe and delivery was on time
