Pros: - Reads and Writes at 230 MB/s - Large capacity for more data - Can be used at full speed on a SATA II port. Cons: - 3.5" design limits application to desktop computers - Can get a little noisy, but not enough to complain about.

Time will tell if this HDD is reliable, but so far so good. Reasonably fast (at least as fast as the 2TB WD Black it's replacing) but it is particularly loud. Luckily, this is mitigated by my silence focused case (Fractal Define R5) but I can see it being annoying if you have an open/airflow orientated case and sit close to your PC.

There are only two types hard drives that I buy, WD Black and Intel or Samsung SSD's. In the past 20+ years that I've been building my own computers I have never had a WD Black hard drive fail for any reason. I don't know if it's because I've been lucky or that they make very good hard drives, either way I will continue to buy them!

Best drive I've had so far. Reads over 200MB most the time, and is super quiet compared to the Hitachi it replaced.
