Hello,

I'm looking for a new hdd. This one will be use for gaming and all the other stuff install on my computer. The two drive (WD1003FZEX, ST1000DM003) seem to have the same specs. Both have 1TB 7200RPM 64MB cache.

The WD Black seem newer. I also found on the forum that it use only one plate.

Here is the link:

There is a nice diferrence of 40$. The only thing I know for now is that the WD Black have a 5 year warranty.

Is there something I miss with the WD Black and is the price worth It ?


Thanks you !
 
Welcome to the community, Julien!

Unfortunately, I cannot give you any specific details regarding other brands!
However, there is more to the WD Black than the 5-year limited warranty. The HDD is tuned for performance in demanding PC environments where this is the main purpose. Another advantage that the Black has over other standard desktop HDDs is the dual-core processor that further maximizes the drive's performance, especially for loading games or large multimedia files. You should check out more details about it on our official website.

If you have more questions regarding the WD Black, keep me posted! :)
