I am quite pleased with this drive so far. No drawbacks that I can dicern at this point, it's quiet, produces almost no vibration, installation was seamless, it just takes a while to format. Considering adding one or two more.

Cons:Mine was faulty.RMA'd

Pros:Reputedly one of the best.
Comment:
My first experience with WD on my new build.Thought i'd give them a try due to all the good reviews on this drive.I guess i was unlucky and recieved a dud.I'm not going to slag WD as this could happen with any manufacturer.Replaced with a 1.5TB Seagate which was cheaper and as far as i'm concerned offers the same performance.5.9 on windows performance score for both.Btw it's the Seagate drive everyones slagging right now.Works for me i would have replaced it with another WD but gained more storage at a cheaper price.

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:Bit loud and bit warm if not cool.

Pros:Not the fastest drive but the fastest drive that I own.
Comment:
Easy to install, bios able to recognize the drive easily. No problem setup in raid, but I didn't really have the time to play with it for too long--just to see if it work.Single drive transfer speed is fast, program seem to load up bit faster than other drives that I had couple years ago.Operation may be a bit louder too compare to my other drives but bearable. So far I am happy with it.

Well what more can be said about WD blacks that hasn't been said already? They are fast drives and they have good reliability factor and the price point is competitie = all you can ask for in a drive. Got to worth 5 stars.

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:It's not an SSD

Pros:Great cost/Gb ratioGood Performer5-year warranty
Comment:
This is pretty much the apex of the cost/Gb/performance ladder. I get a windows index score of 5.9 under Win7 64 Pro and it seems to boot quickly and load programs fast. I am using one with an i7-920 system and one in an older core2duo setup and both have performed fine. I'll make the SSD leap once 25nm flash models come out and prices drop  a bit but for the time being these are my go-to drives.

You may pay slightly more for this drive but it's worth it. Noticed speed difference right away and is still a bargain compared to SSDs. It runs a little warmer than my old drive but not hot enough to be any concern.

Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:lots of vibration induced noise in lower quality cases/enclosures

Pros:incredible value, (performance/storage-price) very stable
Comment:
This drive idles 34 degrees and stays below 48 degrees no matter what I throw at it.I get 75-93mb/s on average.If you hate noisy drives you will definitely need a high quality case/enclosure or some sort of sound/vibration absorbing material. The seeks will get very loud with lower end cases.

Got this as a backup hard drive enclosed in Vantec Hard Drive Case and it gets really hot. I decided to use it as my primary drive instead at least its cooler inside my computer case. A good buy.

Comment:
Got this on sale during boxing week and has performed great since then. Right now, I don't believe it is worth switching to SSDs until prices come wayy down so this is the next best option IMO if you are on a budget.
