Western Digital WD Black 500GB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive 1TB WD1003FZEX

One of the last 7200rpm HDD’s perfect for my RAID’s

Got a defective HDD. HDD have mechanical components that are highly delicate and not resistant to shocks, vibration, and drops. Should be in a box. Not a plastic wrapper.

صوته عالي اوي كل شويه اكن فيه حاجه بتخبط بشكل مزعج ومش لاقي اوبشن اني ارجعه او ابدله حتي

Significantly faster sequential performance than the wd blue. Very satisfied with the build quality and performance.This drive is basically an older RE series drive from wd made for consumers, has extra features the blue lacks which i suggest u check on wd's website before purchase. Packaging is horrible from cloud tail. try to buy from some other seller if possible.

Parfait pour mon pc rapide et efficace avec un niveau de bruit très faible il n'y a qu'à l'arrêt de l'ordinateur ou l'on n'entend que le mouvement des têtes de lecture mais c'est vraiment pas fort et long environ 2 ou 3 seconde

Bought this drive as a replacement for another drive. Using this for photo and video editing. Therefore need speed and reliability as well as capacity. This drive brings all of the above. Performs very well so far. As always tested with the WD tools. Depending on the source I get around 280 MB/s.

Well, my last WD Black drive only lasted 2 years, but that's the nice thing about the 5-year warranty. I got this one as a mirror. The old drive started chattering loudly at 100% utilization during virus scans and backups about halfway through its short 2-year lifespan. One day it finally failed - first disconnected itself, and then when I reconnected, it appeared as "EMPTY." I first tried scandisk, and it fixed errors, but the disk now showed as full. I ran the free WD Diagnostics and it failed the short test, then on the long test, confirmed it had "too many bad sectors to recover." I read online to run chkdsk and do the full surface scan. It took 2 days to chug through the drive, but I got almost everything back. I had a backup drive copy, too, but I had a couple of things from that day that weren't backed-up...like my TurboTax file, which was almost complete (Murphy's law). I got back the most important files, bought this newer version of the same drive (the free replacement is now its mirror), and restored everything else from backup. This drive (and the replacement for my F1002 model) are running perfectly well, and I can't hear them over the fans, which is a nice change. I have one piece of advice when buying drives: get the highest rated drive with the longest warranty possible that you can afford. I got this one on sale. I thought about the 2TB or even 3TB versions, but I already have a 240GB SSD boot drive, and another 1GB drive (a Seagate that was a replacement for one that lasted 2 weeks - this one is a lucky one...I can tell :). Not to mention, 5TB of external drives, and a 3TB NAS, so why risk a bigger drive? Bottom line: good drive - fast, and quiet, and I sleep better with a 5yr warranty and a good backup!
