Western Digital RE4 WD1003FBYX 1TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache

Best Sata II hard drive available besides the Western Digital Blacks. But research TLER and how it may effect windows programs.

Pros:
Good for movies, music, internet, older games should not have a problem with the TLER (non 64bit OS games should play great).

Cons:
TLER on this hard drive is good for a server system, but when using this hard drive as a primary for Windows OS it may crash heavy programs and recover to desktop within 5 seconds, Tomb Raider 2013 crashed 3 times during a full playthrough, some heavy video or graphical programs will be effected by the TLER too. This hard drive is not recommended for HD Gaming or video editing enthusiasts (you may still get these applications to work but not with perfect performance).

This hard drive is great for a primary SATA II system (like the Core 2 CPUs) for general purpose windows usage.

The Western Digital RE4 is also great as a secondary hard drive in a SATA III system (like the I-Series CPUs) for archival storage of media and movie watching.

Good storage drives not recommended for when you need high speed reads.

Not sure how to review a hard drive I just received in regards to how reliable it will be but we will give it a shot. Had an older mechanical drive showing SMART errors meaning the drive was dying. Ordered this as a replacement for two drives and went with WD black because they are generally not super fast drives but very durable and reliable. As most hard drives last about three years or more it will be some time before I can speak of the longevity of the unit. It makes little chatter noises when in use which are barely audible but can definitely hear in a very quiet room. Seems as speedy as the old Seagate drives were but as expected nowhere near as fast as my SSD drives.Read full review

Very clean and good condition. Solid deal for a 1tb drive for non-crucial storage; Movies, games, etc. Just don't use it as a boot drive for your OS if you care about system speed. HDDs still have a place in today's world! Read full review

Another great product at a reasonable price!

Another component I purchased to repair our old Hp p2-1343w deskto PC and so far I has been functioning better than I expected for the low cost. Easily was able to install Windows 8 on it, and the size is just fantastic for all that I do with it. If you need or want to upgrade your system with a 1 TB HDD, and have a tight budget, than I would recommend this device for you.Read full review

Disk for the job.

Disk is quiet..If I had more money, I'd get more. If it WERE noisier I would not care. I, personally, LIKE to hear the faint clicks. To KNOW when my hard drive is working or accessed. (I build computers)Read full review
