If you're looking for a combination of speed and capacity in a single internal hard drive, the Western Digital WD1001FALS 1TB Hard Drive ($190 street), better known as the Caviar Black, is hard to beat.

Impressive areal density; Excellent single drive performance.

Ill-suited for RAID 0

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.

Acceptable read and write performance for a terabyte drive; excellent random access speeds

Only "faster" than our fastest terabyte drive on one splotch of Vista tests

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.

Speedy; Inexpensive

Performance could be just a little better

Of their entire lineup, the Caviar Black sits nicely in the middle of WD's VelociRaptor 10,000rpm drives and Caviar Green 5,400rpm energy saving drives. The new SATA 6Gbps interface also helps improve overall performance, especially burst speeds.

Western Digital Caviar Black and RE4 2TB Drives Review

It happens to all of us at some point. We constantly run short of hard drive space, no matter how incredibly cavernous you thought your current drive was when you bought it. Did you really expect Dragon Age: Origins and Borderlands to soak up almost thirty gigabytes between them? Didn't think so.

Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1.0TB SATA Hard Drive Review

WD's Caviar Black series SATA II hard drives feature a faster spindle speed and 32MB of onboard cache. Drive capacities range from 500GB through to 1.0TB, but all the Caviar Black series drives use Perpendicular Magnetic Recording.

Western Digital Caviar Black 4TB review

We have to be honest here. The Western Digital Caviar Black 4TB is a bit of a letdown. It came out more than 6 months after the Hitachi 7K4000 4TB , yet the Hitachi is faster, cheaper, quieter and more efficient.

Western Digital's 6Gbps Caviar Black 1TB hard drive

Does Western Digital's latest Caviar Black 1TB stand out from the pack as conspicuously as the venerable 640GB drives that it effectively replaces? Not quite, at least based on the results we've seen today. But then the Black did have quite a lot to live up to.
