I'm a photographer so need lots of fast storage space so I got 2 (more) of these to replace a couple of smaller working drives, and guess what ... they do just what they advertise (and despite being larger seem to be quicker than my old WD caviar black drives, extra cache perhaps?).
... so what else is there to say except WD are the only disk manufacturer I trust these days (I always stay away from "green power" drives though, heard a few horrors about them).
If you are after quick, fairly big and fast HDD's then these are the mommas ... and at this price a pretty sweet deal.

These are excellent drives in general. The prices have shot up lately (late October 2011) due to shortages in manufacturing capacity. If you can wait a month or two, do so. The drive is a bit noisy when loading a large number of files, or scanning the entire disk for a backup. Most of the time it's silent during normal use. The reliability of these has been great in the past, I expect this to be no different.
Note that different sellers are packaging these differently. Drives are extremely fragile and must be packaged well. Mine arrived and it appeared to have been packaged by wild apes. It was in an unsealed bubble envelope, placed in a paperboard box with one inflated and one deflated air cushion. It was rattling around loose and had damaged sectors on the first power up. The good news? These have a five-year guarantee that I will almost certainly be needing. I'll just keep on making regular backups.
##EDIT##
215 power cycles and only three months, and it's dead. Returning it to Shop4USB for a replacement. My second one (Sold by and packaged by Amazon) is still going strong. Highly recommended drive, just watch how it is packaged for shipping.

I bought three of these for a raid solution and they work brilliantly. Even on their own they are the fastest 7200rpm drives I have have used to date. Only surpassed by the 10000 rpm Raptor or Veloci-raptor drives from WD.
Thanks

A- Product
It can sometimes be a bit noisy, but what do you expect? It's not an ssd niqqas
what else can I say? it is fast but you are buying a WD Black so that is to be expected.

Love It!
WD's new Caviar Black isn't the cheapest 1TB drive on the market, but it is competitively priced and delivers usefully more performance than cheaper 5,400rpm drives. Read more

Brilliant drive, reliable, fast etc.
WD are probably the best hard drive company (in the world).
I already had a 500GB Caviar Black but needed more space for games so I bought this one, glad I did. Read more

Knobbled for RAID use.
I chose three of these to build a hardware RAID5 array because I have always liked WD drives & these are rated as very fast & the 5 year warranty implied they were reliable. Read more
