Bottomline:  Benchmarking the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB has really opened my eyes to what kind of speed the latest generation of hard disk drives are capable of. As I mentioned during testing, I can remember when striping two IDE drives in a RAID0 array wa...

Good:  Reliable, Good pricetoperformance ratio, Excellent warranty coverage
Bad:  Performance could be better
Bottomline:  Now that the dust has cleared, it’s time to determine where we stand on the Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB hard drive. On the one hand, we have a 1TB drive that offers what is claimed to be the best performance around for a desktop drive. It has a...

Bottomline:  The WD Caviar Black 1TB drive is a bigger, louder, and more power hungry version of the Caviar Blue 640GB. Performance according to HD Tach was a bit disappointing — though it has a higher areal density and twice the cache, it didnt seem to be any f...

Good:  Speedy, Inexpensive
Bad:  Performance could be just a little better

Good:  Fast, Silent, Perpendicular recording technology, Consistently good random file transfer speeds.
Bad:  Heats up a bit.

Bottomline:  Western Digital took its sweet time cranking a terabyte up to 7,200RPM. The company has finally birthed its Caviar Black 1TB, and if its performance you crave, the drive was well worth the wait. Rather than optimizing the Black for a single class of w...
