Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATAIII 6Gb/s 32MB Cache 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Drive - OEM
13 Aug 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought these drives (bought 2) as upgrades to my SATAII drives which I have had for 18 months now.
They are really quiet and performance is excellent.
While I cannot measure the exact performance through-put data transfer does appear to be a lot speedier and I have had no issues with transfer of loads of my data. I always keep several backup's over 2 drives just in case! Paranoid about a crash that wipes out my data hence always replace my drives every 18 months or so. The released drives then flow downwards through 3 other computers, a link station server, media server and even the SkyHD box!
Every year memory and storeage increases at such an alarming rate you just have to future proof yourself. These drives are just so fantastic for the money.
If you want great storeage and really good value, have confidence in these drives.
I can certainly recommend them.
Thanks - Colin.

Excellent hard drive, no problems as yet.
Copied lots of stuff to and from it during a hard drive re-shuffle & I now use it to house my music/video production projects.
Noticed it makes a bit more noise than the 500GB Caviar Black HDDs, especially on start up, but nowhere near as much as the standard fan on my AMD Phenom II x4 965 :-S

Following a PC rebuild for my home-studio, my four-way 'scratch disk' Raid0 array went south. Thank heavens for backups, eh? So I needed a new scratch disk. Because I push the envelope I needed something which could perform and so unless I took out a mortgage for a high capacity SSD, a Raid array seemed the best choice. Since I already have high'ish capacity OCZ RevoDrive for my OS disk, the 'scratch' disk was for recording, playback and storage/retrieval.
Unfortunately for whatever reason I couldn't track down any WD Caviar Blacks at my chosen capacity so had to settle for Blueys. With hindsight, it wasn't a bad deal, I have a Raid0 2TB 'scratch' disk which chugs along about 250MBpS which is more than enough for my modest needs.
So far I have not had any WD's go south on me, Seagates & Samsungs ye but but not WD's Heck, one of the 'emergency PC's' has a 60GB WD from nineteenhundredandfrozenstiff and it still runs sweet.
Good deal, good drive and dependable. Thumbs up.

Little slice of gold, honestly
This is a very good hard drive for the price it's offered at. 1TB of space is quite a lot for the average person - they will not usually fill it, but even for someone that likes to... Read more
