Rated 5 out of 5Â by Scorpio50 Reliable Hard Drive
I use two of these in my back up drives, they provide reliable & secure data storage. I recommend Western Digital products for reliability, design & endurance in production work.

Statistics don't lie compared to the competitors the failure rates on Western Digital drives is the lowest in the industry. Truth is there is no perfect drive. Seagate drives have a failure rate over 45% and they are considered second best to Western Digital. These are electronics and all electronics usually fail within the first 48 hours of operation. If you get a drive that passes that mark then you are good. The Western Digital Black series will go the distance. After the 48 hour mark the failure rate is extremely low. Considering all the natural disasters that have happened in recent years the fact that you can even still get these at these low failure rates is a miracle. The market is flooded with Seagate junk because of the damage to the Western Digital factories. My experience is extensive with hard drives and the only drives that are better than these and the Veloci-Raptors is the RE series designed for corporate RAID systems. If you have a bad experience I am sorry that is just part of the game. But the fact is these are the best of the best. Western Digital support is awesome and I have had no issues with them and have heard good things from others too. Keep up the good work WD! You can't expect every drive you receive to be tested for 48 hours but you can be sure that if you make it past that mark with a WD you will be pleased with the long life henceforth.
