Pros: Uses 1 TB platters Has a 5 year warranty Very quiet, never made a sound while in use. The only time I ever heard it was when it went into its standby phase and I could hear it spin down as it was shutting off. (Older model was WAY louder, heard it constantly) I tested the previous model of this drive being the WD1003FAEX from 2010 vs. this drive the WD1003FZEX from 2013. Crystal Disk Mark (FZEX) – New WD Drive • Sequential: Read = 198.2 MB/s, Write = 181.6 MB/s • 512k: Read = 85.77…

Pros: This is an excellent drive. Here is what I like about it 1. 5 year warranty (that’s a lot) 2. SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) 3. 7200 RPM 64MB cache (snappy response and access times) 4. Read / Write speeds are impressive I ran some benchmarks on this drive and I am very impressed. This drive actually comes close to the speeds I got with my very first SSD (back in the day, OCZ Agility 60GB). The full test details are in other thought’s but here is the jist: I averaged around 150MB/s read speeds…

Pros: Performance. This is the best-performing mechanical drive I have ever tested. I have four other mechanical HDDs dating back to 2005, including three other Western Digital drives, and this is the best performer across the board. It even beats my old SSD in terms of sequential writes and random writes (likely due to the on-demand nature of TRIM in the SSD): Western Digital WD1003FZEX: 1000 GB, 7200 RPM, this review 187.01 MB/s sequential read 184.54 MB/s sequential write 60.89 MB/s…

Pros: For a hard drive, there isn’t much that can be really good or bad. Occasionally, you get a drive that arrives DOA or dies shortly after you install it. Otherwise, as long as it works, it makes most everyone happy. I’m glad to report that this drive not only works, but it’s pretty quick, too. After struggling with several other brands of hard drive makers, I switched to Western Digital a few years back. I have only had one failure, and that was a drive that had been in constant use for…

Pros: This hard drive is by far the fastest platter hard drive I have ever used. I have strayed away from platter hard drives for over 5 years now (2009) and it is hard to use a platter as a main boot and system drive but this thing is great and reminds me of when I went from 5400 to 7200 hard drives. Maybe not as noticeable but you will enjoy the speed of this 7200 RPM drive. Cons: Size and noise are the only issues I could find with this drive after many weeks of testing. I already have a…

Pros: – Reliability – Capacity – Performance The WD Black series of drives is a personal favorite, and where I turn for many of my performance HDD needs. I have been using these drives since they were originally released and have never had issues with any of them. They are great for gaming or any other HDD usage intensive applications. They offer a high level of performance that gamers expect and desire. Cons: None. Overall Review: I would normally have done a list of benchmarks, but there…

Pros: These drives offer a good combination of capacity, price, performance, and warranty coverage. Benchmark performance is approximately 30% higher than the previous generation of WD Black drives. Real world, subjective performance is better still. Loading 200+MB images into Photoshop is noticeably faster from these drives than the older generation. In all, the WD2003FZEX offer a relatively inexpensive way to add some much needed storage space. On the noise front, I could not hear any…

Pros: – FAST drive. Don’t get me wrong… it’s not going to be equivalent to an SSD in terms of data transfer speeds, but it beats the heck out of crummy 5200 rpm stock drives that some manufacturers still put in PCs. – 5 year warranty. I’ve yet to exercise the warranty on either of the two WD Black 1TB’s that I own… but until their warranties are up, it’s nice to know that they are covered. Cons: None so far! Overall Review: The 1st WD Black 1TB I purchased about 2 years ago as a storage…
