WD Caviar Black high performance 3.5-inch SATA hard drives combine 7200 RPM spin speed, 32 MB or 64 MB cache, SATA 3 Gb/s interface, and up to 2 TB capacity for the ultimate in power computing. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty. High Performance Electronics Architecture: Dual processor – Twice the processing power to maximize performance. Colossal cache – Bigger, faster cache of up to 64 MB means faster performance. Rock Solid Mechanical Architecture: Dual actuator technology – A head positioning system with two actuators that improves positional accuracy over the data track(s). The primary actuator provides coarse displacement using conventional electromagnetic actuator principles. The secondary actuator uses piezoelectric motion to fine tune the head positioning to a higher degree of accuracy. StableTrac – The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations. NoTouch ramp load technology – The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit. Massive Capacity – WD Caviar Black SATA drives are available in capacities up to 2 TB. Compatible – We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems. 5 Year Limited Warranty. « short desciption

    I've read somewhere that this drive would be noisier than some others, it might be. But it is still very very quiet.

    I have this drive in my Core I7 Dell 435MT an it works very well.

    Bought one and put it in a Rosewill external USB/FW800/eSATA case I got from Newegg. Quiet and super fast over Firewire 800 on a MacBook Pro. Generally faster than my other external Firewire 800 drive (WD 640GB Caviar Blue / AAKS)... I guess because this is higher density and a 'black' drive with more cache. Amazingly easy to setup on Mac OS X (plug in, follow prompts). No complaints.

    Also bought two of these for a Mac Pro tower. Installed easily in the drive sleds with no additional cables, and definitely faster using SATA than on the MBP using Firewire 800.

    This HD works extremely well with my system. I play a lot of high end graphics games and it loads them fast and plays them without any communication lag at all. I would say for the value it is a very good choice for someone looking to expand their storage or add a new operating system hard drive to their system.
