Very Average Performance and 4800RPM

Crystal Mark test shows below average performance. I was looking for a CMR drive and was happy to determine this drive being one. Crystal Disk Info reports this drive supports TRIM, so it might have some flash for use as a cache, But was VERY DISAPPOINTED that the rotational speed of only 4800RPM. I...

Good for storage, but be ok with long load times

The WD_BLACK P10 is marketed as a game drive and finding **actual** specs on this was tough so I rolled the dice and bought this one. It's a good portable drive and 2TB stores a ton of games but...

WD_BLACK 5TB P10 High failure rate

TLDR: Only purchase if you are going to fill them up quickly (3-4.5TB) to see if they actually work, be prepared to return and swap. These are slow compared to SSD/NVME drives, and have a higher chance of failure due to moving parts. I've purchased (as of 7/9/21) two of 5TB and each time after more ...

Solid and quiet gaming drive!

Used this to to store and install files for games between two gaming PCs. Decent and steady 130MB/s read and write speed. Also works great with gaming console - if this is how you intend to use it; connect the drive first then start/restart to begin formatting.

Overall design is great. Metal cont...
