Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:None so far

Pros:Fast and quiet.
Comment:
I have owned several WD drives and this is the largest I have purchased so far. I have never had any issues with any of the WD drives, maybe I have been lucky, but this seems to be performing up to the standard I have experienced with WD products in the past. The drive runs quiet and is fast enough for me. Highly recommended.

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:Wish it was 1.5TB or 2TB but for the price, I guess it was affordable.

Pros:Fast and silent. Like a stealth killer.
Comment:
I bought this for my rig so it can store my data. It has 32MB which I believe it's very tough for performance. Excellent in gaming as it runs 7,200 RPM. Very efficent and recommended.

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:- none

Pros:- fast!!- quiet- 5 year warranty
Comment:
I bought two of these drives in store for my home PC to replace four 500GB drives. These things are crazy fast! When copying files from one of my 1TB Black drives to the 1TB Black drives in my roommate's server over gigabit LAN I see transfer speeds of 85-95 MB/sec which makes copying large Blurays quick and easy. The 5 year warranty is icing on the cake.Very satisfied with this drive. My only regret is not buying 3 of them!

Cons:died too fast

Pros:fast, not so noisy as people find it,
Comment:
it died after 7 months. I couldn't recuperate all my information from it, especially family photos and Sony hd camcorder records. I was very pleased with its performance until the incident. I was Seagate consumer who tried the WD based on the hd reviews. It could happen anytime with any other hd, but a backup should be performed regularly, now I learned.

Comment:
I bought this to put into the nGear 3.5IN Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure SATA USB2.0/ESATA Black (Part#: NG-HDE-35AS-AL-BL). And it works pretty well.It runs quiet, but it is a bit hot though... That's expected from the black series.

Cons:Loud. Did I mention it's loud?

Pros:Good performance, cheap.
Comment:
I bought this because I wanted a new drive for Windows 7. I already have a WD SE16 Caviar, and that drive has been excellent; quiet and fast. The Black series was more expensive when it came out since it was labelled as high performance. When I compare the 2 drives though the performance is nearly identical, and while I've never even heard my SE16 drive, the Black is loud. Really, really loud. It's annoying and I wish I had bought something else now but I don't want to bother doing an RMA and re-installing all my stuff.

Very good hard-drive. WD is the best hard-drive company and the black HD are the best. I use it for main internal drive. It is fast, quiet and stable. WD Black is for performance. So use it for internal main harddrive. Then, use other cheaper for data backup. But wait until it's price drop  under 100. It always had promotion .

Cons:temperature

Pros:speed, WD warranty / upgrade program
Comment:
Pretty nice drive I use in an external open USB enclosure. So it's easy to compare / test the temperature and this one gets slightly hotter than the WD green series. But no outage up to now even during this years hot west coast summer. (That's what you expect from a drive with the MTBF of several years).

Comment:
WD Blacks are good reliable HDs. No real complaints here except for temperatures. I don't need to recommend cause they have good reputation.

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:Runs warm, expensive

Pros:Huge storage, 5 yr warranty
Comment:
So much hype with this hd. Was it worth it? For the money, it seemed very pricey, but then again it was the only consumer drive to offer a 5 yr warranty. The speeds on this thing are great, but one thing I noticed was that it runs considerably hot. You may/may not take that in as a factor. This is the best in the 1TB range, but you pay a price for it.

Comment:
I figured I would give WD another shot, since I had bad luck with them in the past. 2-3 months later, I already got a bad sector on it. I will never buy WD again, instead I will be sticking with Seagate drives from now on.

Comment:
This drive is very fast and works great. No problems installing and formatting. The only weakness I can see is that it runs hotter than most other drives I have had. Not a problem with good cooling. I highly recommend this drive.

Pros:Large storage capacity for relatively cheapDecent speed
Comment:
Bought this hard drive 6 weeks ago and it has since died on me for no reason, has only been used moderately. I wouldnt recommend this drive if your looking for anything reliable and long-lasting.Easy enough to fill RMA through WD (beware NCIX only offers 30 day returns), the hassle has defenitely not been worth the low price.

Comment:
I've bought 3 of these drives from NCIX now, nothing negative from any, minus one with weird occasional clicks in the external mount. They get somewhat warm, but they are more than fast enough to make up for that small negative. Super cheap, but so damn worth every penny!

Was happy to see this worked without any issues in my Inspiron 531, I had read online that the SATA controller could only handle a 500GB drive, but that may have been old info. Happy with this so far.

Comment:
I got 2 of these. First one I used it as my OS drive. The other one I started using it about a month after I used the first one. The second drive died on me and I could not get any of my data back. Had to ship back the drive to NCIX, but also had to pay my own shipping. That's BAD POLICY RIGHT THERE FOR NCIX. Buyers beware, drive may die easily.
