Comments about Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black 3.5" SATA Internal Drive:
As usual B&H shipped FAST & had the best price. Thank You!
The drive was a very easy install in my MacPro, as I expected. I cloned the drive that I replaced to this one and booted up to 1TB of speed. This drive is very quiet also. The best feature for me is the speed that I gained with this drive. I also cut my boot time from the point that I press the power button in half! The drive I replaced was a WD 320 GB that was a little over half full. The total boot time was almost 1 1/2 min. now it's 40sec. All applications also open and run faster. This drive will make you happy...!

I use this 1TB drive as my boot drive for Windows 7. It's a reliable choice for a work horse drive. I have a lot of installed apps and do a lot of updates and reinstallations. This drive has had no issues even with many reboots.

Comments about Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black 3.5" SATA Internal Drive:
We have only had this drive installed in our Dell XPS 400 desktop for about two weeks. Installation was easy. It has worked flawlessly. It is not as noisy as I was led to believe about black drives. It's performance has been excellent, both in speed and reliabilty.
