Comments about Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black 3.5" SATA Internal Drive:
Replacing a Gateway factory installed caviar green after its sudden death one year from purchase. Used mostly for streaming movies. As I am not a pro female, I asked the [*] geeks what to do after a fatal error, and they told me to bring the computer to them and if the repair cost is not worthy, better to buy from them another computer. Ney. Although I had never opened a computer before, and the internet description of a hard disk replacement did not match what I found after opening the side of the computer, scratching my head for 10 minutes solved the screwdriver technicality and voila! the 1 tb green out. The guys from B&H responded promptly as usual with the caviar black suggestion, and 4 days later vs. only [$] bucks and free shipping I had this product in my hands and shortly thereafter in my computer. Boy it's fast and my one year old computer married her with joy and pride. They do their small talking quietly which is great for me as the noise would have interferred with my movies watching.(PS I still have to admit that it helped greatly the previous reviews too). Sorry Geek Squad.

Comments about Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black 3.5" SATA Internal Drive:
I purchased this hard drive to replace my computer's original drive that died after being infected by a virus. Installing the drive was extremely easy and took less than five minutes. My previous drive was good but the Caviar Black drive is noticeably faster. The previous drive took a few minutes to startup but now I get to the login screen in about one minute or less. For the first few days the drive seemed a bit loud but it's either quieted down or I've become accustomed to the noise because I don't notice the sound anymore.
This is the second storage device that I've purchased from Western Digital and based on my experiences so far, they seem to make really great products. I recommend the Caviar Black drive and will probably purchase a second drive in the future for additional storage.

Comments about Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black 3.5" SATA Internal Drive:
Using this as a second drive (storage) with a 250g SSD as my primary drive in a new build. Set up was simple & quick with Windows 7 Pro. Suggestion- do not connect your second drive until you have completed your Windows install on your solid state drive with this kind of set up. After shopping around, B&H again had the best price.

Comments about Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black 3.5" SATA Internal Drive:
I use them in a RAID1 Array to make use of a sort of Run Flat technology.
Fast and reliable and Western Digital stands behind them.
Some want silent harddrives. These make very little ticlking noise and I like it that way. I want to know when my drives are reading.
