surapara Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've used WD black 2TB for 7 months no problems at all, and planned to buy a new 4TB soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0H1T Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Personally I'd suggest any drive backed by a 5yrs warranty & preferably a 1TB/platter drive for greater throughput & even more reliability as less platters means longer lifespan for HDD's in general.

Cyberboom Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Go with WD Black ;)Seagate offers nice products too .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragdd Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I allways buy desktop WDC Blacks harddisks for myself, because WDC is for me the best and reliable HDD brand.These are the highend home user harddisks from WDC that comes with 5 years warranty.They are fast and reliable harddisk.I had other brands like IBM, Seagate and Samsung and never again form me.If I have to assemble a PC that have to be budget and performance is not so an issue, I use WDC Blue that come with 2 years warranty.

ajdibi Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I heard that the WD Blacks are fairly loud, with some people saying they are nearly as loud as the WD Raptors. Any truth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashish Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 no truth at all. i can hardly hear any noise from my 1 tb wd black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragdd Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 They are not the most quiet harddrives on the market, but they don't bother me.I have 7 x WDC Black 2 TB in my computer and I don't hear them, except when I defrag all these drives together with O&O Defrag and I find it still nout to loud.WDC Veloceraptor and WDC RE are more louder then WDC Blacks.And WDC Green and Blue are more quieter then WDC Black, but also slower.WDC Black is according to me the perfect combination between performance and accoustics in harddrives.Faster harddrives then WDC Blacks are the hybrids (part SSD and larger part HDD), but WDC don't have them.

Pedrito Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've using Seagate HDDs all my life and never had any problem!I have one 320 GB on an old computer still working flawlessly.Besides Seagate's HDDs are cheaper than WD's.There's my two cents. :showoff: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guinness Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Western Digital Black WD2002FAEX. Not the most quiet HDD on earth, but they are true performers for their price range. ;) Edited September 19, 2013 by Guinness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
