Western Digital Black Hard Drive – Review

<![CDATA[Western Digital is an American computer data storage company. The headquarters are located in San Jose, California. The company was founded in 1970  by Alvin B. Phillips. They bring in about 19 billion dollars a year. While they employee about 80,000 people. They produce hard disk drives, hybrid drives, and also solid state drives.

Recently I bought a new hard disk drive for my ASUS ROG ZENITH motherboard. I chose Western Digital due to good reviews read online. I got the WD Black 6TB, the reviews I read online were great. The reviews and specifications I read online were phenomenal and I could not wait for it to arrive via mail. Upon delivery the package looked a little more on the rough side. The price for this specific HDD was $246.99. The price per gigabyte was approximately six cents.

As I connected it into my PC tower things went very smooth. There was no damage done to the actual product itself. I booted up my PC everything seemed to be working fine. I logged on and continued to put my HDD to the test.
Specs:

  • Size: 6Tb
  • Price: $246.99
  • Interface: SATA 6Gb/s
  • Transfer Rate: 227 MB/s
  • MTBF: 1.5 million hours
  • Warranty: 5 years
  • Access Time: N/A
  • Speed: 7200RPM
  • Buffer Size: 128 MB

Overall my experience with this HDD was fantastic and I highly recommend to those who are looking for something that has a great amount of storage as well as a HDD that does not have a high failure rate.
