5 out of 5 eggsJust a warning. Bare or OEM drives do NOT have a warranty from WD! This drive is listed as "bare" AKA OEM, so NO warranty!

This review is from: WD Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD2003FZEX

Pros: I have had excellent experiences with WD drives over the last 12 years. Only one has died. Solid performance for the money. This drive runs cooler, and a little quieter than larger WD Black drives.

Cons: NO warranty! This is a "bare" drive, A.K.A. OEM drive. Bare drives do NOT have a warranty from Western Digital.

Other Thoughts: I would definitely recommend WD Black drives. I have been very happy with my WD Black drives.

Remember, NO warranty for "bare" drives.

4 out of 5 eggsCan't go wrong

This review is from: WD Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD2003FZEX

Pros: Never can go wrong with more hard drive space.
Probably use this in my next build.

Cons: It is a little loud.
Takes a minute to access if you aren't using the files in the drive often.

4 out of 5 eggsSolid, fast drive...

This review is from: WD Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD2003FZEX

Pros: Nice drive...
While there are cheaper options, the Red Pro is also 7200 RPM's, the Black is for day to day heavy use, a cargo truck.
The Blue is a sub compact car, the Green a slightly larger compact car, and the Red a mid sized sedan, good for light use, but to move data around, get a Black or Enterprise.
Running about 105º F, with a few rumbling noises.
(Don't over tighten the screws holding the drive, leave them just a little loose (finger-tight), the noise will be greatly reduced, especially if there are rubber cushions between the drive and frame)
Get at least a 2 terabyte drive, the ones below are either reworked drives with capacity halved, (usually due to bad drive platters) or a Green drive in disguise...

I pulled a 750 gigabyte 7200 RPM OEM hard drive from 2009, the Black is about 40% faster.

I installed the operating system and migrated my data before installing.
To keep the system cool while doing this, I used a fan (system was at 100% processor, network, and disk drive, running very warm)

Cons: 3 hours to get the computer apart. Moderately technical (2009 20 inch iMac, 2.66 Mhz)
Replace the CMOS battery while you have it apart.

Other Thoughts: Western Digital needs to fix the Idle Time on the Red and Green Drives. The last few have been all over the road, 8 seconds, 300 seconds, and even turned off. Resetting the idle time, while not difficult, is very technical. (Boot to DOS, run WDIDLE3.EXE)
Black, Blue, and Enterprise drives do not suffer this problem.

5 out of 5 eggsFast, Reliable, Work Horse

This review is from: WD Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD2003FZEX

Pros: I purchased this for several reasons. 2TB size, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rate, 64MB cache. Most importantly is its reliability. I installed one these in a PC close to 4 years ago and that PC is powered on 16 hours every day. I've never had any failures or errors.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Highly recommend.

4 out of 5 eggsVery nice drive

This review is from: WD Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD2003FZEX

Pros: Good performance for a standard HDD and for a good price. Working great as a drive dedicated to my Steam games.

Cons: Nothing as of yet

Other Thoughts: It's a little noisy. Not nearly as noisy as the old HDD's from the 90's, but definitely noisier than my 1TB 7200rpm Barracuda. I'm not complaining, it's a nice nostalgic feeling hearing the hard drive work away under load. The noise barely noticeable over my noctua fans, but it's definitely there.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Drive

This review is from: WD Black 2TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD2003FZEX

Pros: Had absolutely no issues getting this drive installed and setup. Was able to clone my existing 1TB drive to a partition which I created on the new drive and had a free TB partition to move all my games and software. Works as expected ,always use WD Black HDD's and have not had a failure on my PC's or dedicated servers.

Cons: None whatsoever !!
