Overall a great drive, fast with a 5 year WD warranty. There's not much else you can ask for, except maybe for the prices to come down a bit.

Great drive, and I love the fact that you can download the WD Acronis Image software for free...makes cloning to the new drive easy and makes back-ups easy too.
Since my first raptor purchase many years ago, I have been a fan of WD drives. So when I needed a new drive for my PVR I got this drive. Have not had a single issue.

Hooked as a 2nd drive with a SSD. Games are installed on it and they run smoothly. Did not run any write speed test, but copy seems faster than my green drive. Anyways... this is a black one haha! Would recommand to anyone, it also has the grest WD warranty.

I own 2 of these and purchased them one year apart before the flooding (thankfully or I would be really angry). Around the end of October the first 1 packed it in with no warning and took 6 years of my data with it. My own fault for not backing up my important data, for sure. Still hurts though especially when you read all these glowing reviews and think it's bulletproof. I gladly paid the extra money WD commands for quality reputation of their products and now I don't trust my other 2 WD Blacks at all they are just transfer and wipe drives for me now. Nothing important is stored on them which is better then a total write off I guess.
