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.

I like this hard drive a lot, got it as a replacement for a 750GB Seagate Barracuda that had a problem. The only gripe I have is the thing is the noisiest HDD that I have ever had, it clicks away merrily almost constantly.... but that may just be because of my case, and it really doesn't annoy me that much. After what happened to my old drive I am happy to know that it is alive and well; and I really don't like the green drives that are available.

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.

Very good mech drive
Whilst the drive is fast, with great speeds for a mechanical drive, it still doesn't compete with an SSD. Read more

Great drive and fast
I brought this as a 4th drive to store music, films and videos. This is a great drive, in is fast and was easy to install on a windows system. Also no increase in noise.

This is a decent hard drive. I got it to replace my Samsung f3 after hearing all the horror stories about it failing. It's quick, faster than my old Samsung f3. Read more

Does the job it is meant to do
At this stage I can only say that it works. Time will only tell if it stands up to its "Black" rating.
