Review: Solid and working well, as expected for a WD 3.5" drive - I recently lost a PC, and am going through a technology upgrade cycle, and wanting to have data redundancy and convenient clones of hard drives to test under various scenarios (different PC's, docks, cloning hardware and software, OS's, etc.) So, I recently bought four of these (One from desertcart, and three from another PC vendor). All four worked as expected right out of the box, taking nearly a 1 TB of Windows 7 OS and user data from other PC's via various drive cloning processes, and then showing up as expected and letting me acess and update the data just fine. The drives seem to run reasonably cool, and are fairly quiet (considering I'm running them in external open SATA docks for now), and the speed is fine. Just what I'd expect from a modern WD drive. I don't take chances with my data, so am happy to pay the premium for the WD black technology and reputation vs., say the WD blue. I can't report on reliability/durability yet, since I've had these drives less than a week. If I have problems worth noting, I'll plan to post updates. In my experience (from memory), over the past 20+ years, I've had a LOT of experience with roughly 30 WD drives. All consumer drives, size ranging from about a GB to 4 TB. I've had only two problems. One was completely my fault. Back in the day when they sealed the drives with some kind of rubber gasket, I tore a small section of that removing a drive from a desktop case the first time. (Not a HW guy -- didn't know what I was doing). That drive crashed in a few days -- which again was COMPLETELY my fault as air (with hair, dust, etc) got in there for awhile. I had another drive start making noises and refusing to accept a full hard drive clone via Partition Magic version 8.X -- probably in the early 2000's. Again, not wanting to fool around with my data, I quit using that drive. The main reason I've stuck with WD is the drives seem to be very solid and perform consistently. I've use lots of both bare OEM and full retail kit WD drives, depending on prices/convenience. Review: So far, 5 stars if you know what you're doing - I purchased this drive to replace a failing one on a relative's Windows-based system. I also used the Acronis True Image WD Edition Software, downloaded from the manufacturer's site to clone the old drive. I was half-way through the installation when I thought, "What if I were just a general consumer and not a computer geek?" In other words, what if my relative had ordered this drive and tried to replace the old one without calling me? It probably would not have gone well, as it arrives as just a drive in a box, with no documentation or hints of what to do. The documentation on the manufacturer's Web site is fair, but maybe not enough for an average person off the street. With that in mind ... The installation went very cleanly. I had a spare SATA cable handy, which I needed during the replacement, and a SATA power Y splitter, which I did not need in this case. Those items do not come with the drive: You will have to purchase those separately if you need them. You may also need to buy 4 drive screws, but I personally did not need them for this installation either. I was going to use different software to clone the failing drive, but decided to use the utility provided by the manufacturer on their Web site. I Read The Friendly Manual and it worked very efficiently. After cloning, I removed the old drive and rebooted with only the new one. Everything was fine. I did not run any extensive diagnostics, but this new drive is relatively fast and quiet with no obvious defects so far. That was just a day ago, so I will leave my rating at 5 stars for now. Other reviewers have had quality and return problems after a few months and have submitted lower ratings. Hopefully, years will go by and I won't hear about any problems. The manufacturer makes kits providing additional documentation, cables and such if you need them -- but for me this purchase was a good option. ## Features - Inspiring Performance And Capacity - Performance Storage Available In Up To 10Tb Capacities - 2X Dram Cache Up To 256 Mb For Faster Read Operations - Designed For Creative Professionals, Gamers And System Builders ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FJRS6FU | | Additional Features | Portable | | Best Sellers Rank | #394 in Internal Hard Drives | | Brand | Western Digital | | Built-In Media | Performance hard drive Acronis True Image WD Edition Software Quick install guide | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 64 | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Mac, PC | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Nintendo Switch | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,299 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 600 Megabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 1 TB | | Enclosure Material | polycarbonate | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037786469, 00818255035278 | | Hard Disk Description | Serial ATA-600 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA-600 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 1 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC; Mac | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 5.8"L x 4"W x 1"Th | | Item Part Number | WD1003FZEX | | Item Weight | 60 Grams | | Manufacturer | Western Digital | | Media Speed | 6.8 MB | | Mfr Part Number | WD1003FZEX | | Model Name | Black | | Model Number | WD1003FZEX-SPK3CA0 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Special Feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Personal | | UPC | 818255035278 718037786469 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Western Digital ("WD") values your business and always attempts to provide you the very best of service.

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! ## Frequently Bought Together - Western Digital 1TB WD Black Performance Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD1003FZEX - SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
