For the Pros, but handy in a pinch
7 of 11 found this helpful Although this drive is recommended all over, the WD Blacks are not a "one size fits all" solution. First, it's far louder than a WD Blue, which might confuse people that the drive went bad. The whirring is normal, and you'll hear it every time the drive accesses a file, so if you can don't make this your primary drive unless you're ready for the sound. This is notable enough to not recommend this drive to audio engineers, or online entertainers such as podcasters & LPers, nor have this drive inside your bedroom/media PC.
Secondly, the drive speeds are a bit exaggerated - it won't make your old Windows partition faster by transfer. Newly partitioned, the speeds are around 131 mb/s, but the max my MBR Windows 7 partition got after defragging was 10 mb/s. Firefox will still hang despite the drive's capabilities.
All in all, this drive is not for gamers nor casual hobbyists, but for serious enthusiasts (and those who get insane deals like me - still worth it for $40) who can tolerate the sound and need this as a scratch disk/active file storage. For people looking to make entertainment rigs, I'd recommend a lower-class HDD like the WD Blue, or WD Red for being constantly on. For people who need work done, make the jump to the SSD+Backup combo. If you don't fit either category, then you can handle this drive.
