Overview
Performance and capacity for more inspiration
For creators, gamers, and anyone who demands the best, we've designed a new generation of hard drives that improve the performance of your PC. The latest generation of WD Black hard drives offers enhanced features to maximize system performance so you can focus more on creating with less time spent waiting. WD Black is designed to intensify your PC experience with generous capacity and incredible performance that pushes the boundaries of customization.

High resolution for a high-definition world
To make this exceptional performance and capacity possible, WD Black features a high-resolution controller (HRC) with an improved architectural design, allowing for greater data accuracy on the hard drive. This translates into increased response to take your world to the next level of high definition.
Smarter than conventional hard drives
High-performance and workstation PCs are equipped with components that often produce vibrations that reduce hard drive accuracy and performance. Even the best chassis on the market cannot compensate for this. The new generation of WD Black hard drives feature Vibration Control Technology (VCT) that allows the platters inside the drive to adapt to mounting issues and vibration conditions that occur inside your enclosure, for improved data accuracy, performance and long-term reliability.
performance and long-term reliability. In short, it lets you play better, faster and longer.
Enhanced Stability
In addition to Vibration Control Technology (VCT), WD Black features StableTrac technology that secures the motor shaft inside the hard drive at both ends to reduce additional system-induced vibration. StableTrac firmly stabilizes the platters for more precise tracking of a particular sector during read and write operations and improved performance. (Models 2TB and above)
Protecting your moments
The worst thing that can happen during a rendering process is to lose data due to a power fluctuation or power failure. The new generation of WD Black hard drives is equipped with Data Corruption Protection (DPC) technology to protect and limit potential data loss issues during a power failure. Most importantly, data corruption protection technology can save you time and money in your projects.
Increased efficiency with a dual processor
You always wish you had more processing power. WD Black is equipped with a dual processor that provides twice the processing power to maximize drive performance. WD's dynamic caching technology increases performance by improving real-time caching algorithms and optimizing cache allocation between reads and writes. This allows the drive to allocate more and more cache for read data, thereby reducing data congestion and increasing overall performance.
Industry leading 5 year limited warranty
Our engineers' primary mission is to protect your data. This passion is reflected in the industry-leading 5-year limited warranty that covers all of our WD Black hard drives. Our success is based on our ability to consistently deliver innovative technologies and back those products with an industry-leading 5-year limited warranty. WD Black is tested to a higher standard than conventional hard drives with more rigorous and aggressive testing over a longer period of time. This is how we are building the WD story of innovation, excellence and passion for high-performance hard drives.

    Served well in less than optimal conditions...

    It will have been running 24/7 for almost 5 years in a Chopin mini-ITX box, all fanless. Needless to say, things got pretty hot in there. After three heatwaves, he definitely seems to have Alzheimer's, with mood swings that can go as far as absolute refusal. Partial recovery of the data after a short spell in the freezer, he will now join his little friends to do some experimental work :-)
    Brave little beast ...

    Double faulty

    Bought to replace a 1TB WD Black Caviar from 2011 after almost 12 years of loyal service.
    It's a great drive.
    However, mine arrived faulty (derailing sound and friction when the PC shuts down from the media crashing against the drive). I had to return it to LDLC who took care of it and sent me a new one. No luck, it had the same defect as the previous one. Returned again and quickly refunded to buy a SATA SSD of similar capacity from a completely different brand.
    Thanks to LDLC for helping me in this journey.

    Internal mechanical gaming HDD

    The installation was complicated but the result is there.
    When I unpacked it, it was well packaged and when I tested it, it was flawless.
    I chose this model because it is gaming oriented as its descriptive name indicates.
    I chose this model because it is gaming oriented, as the name suggests, and as a support for an ssd (system), I reserved it only for storing my game titles.
    I don't find it that noisy compared to other reviews I've read.
    I have only had it since today, so it will take time to get used to it.

    Quality has to be paid for!

    I discover the Black range of Western Digital, and despite the price of 145€ for 2Tb, I do not regret it! A purchase made to last and perform.
    Here are my tests under HDTune Pro:
    - Read speed: Max: 207 Mb/s - Min: 100,4 Mb/s
    - Latency: 12 ms
