Intel Core i7 Gaming PC - Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB Unboxing Video

In this quick video I unbox the Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB HDD. This hard drive has 32mb of cache and spins at 7200 RPM. The Caviar Black line of hard drives are the best consumer drives offered by Western Digital. I am using this HDD in my upcoming Core i7 Gaming PC build. Stay tuned for more videos:

question: i am going out tomorrow to get a caviar black, i am thinking of getting a 1tb or a 640bg. now since the 1tb drive will have bigger/more plates will it spin slower than the 640bg ? i dont want to sacrifice speed for space

[kodemunke]

The 1TB runs just as fast as the 640GB. They both operate at 7200RPM.

Nice unboxing, how are you liking the drive so far?

[kodemunke]

It's great.

I have the caviar black 1 TB HD and I think it's pretty quiet! Can only hear when 1st turn on pc and when loading game or software! U made a good choice! 5/5

I personally would have gone with Seagate 7200.12 500 GB. About the same write and read speeds but silent as death.

[copymizer]

I have bought a 1TB Caviar black lately as well and i'm very very pleased with the HDD speed as well as with the very tiny noise it's letting out, great great purchase :)

I just got my new core i5 system built with this same WD Caviar Black 500Gb HD, It's been only two weeks and it just started making a lot of noise and it's LED light is constantly blinking. Can anyone tell if the HD is bad or it's just normal?
