10000 Rpm External Hard Drive

Excellent External hard drive.

I use it as an external hard drive for photos.

This is my second WD Black 7200 RPM drive that I've owned, and the first that I've bought from B&H. On this order, the drive was DOA. It would spin-up, but I could not initialize it and ultimately RMA'd it and used a WD Gold 7200 RPM drive for my backup prior to upgrading my OS. The Rona has slowed B&H down a bit, but they were fabulous in granting my RMA and sending out a second Black drive that works as expected. Thank you B&H. I use these as external drives for offline backups. I house these in external drive enclosures as single units and only bring them online to add files (remove from my RAID drive) or to pull from backups as we need them. We edit at least 30 GB of video files per week and including export files, need to move at least 50 GB of files offline per week. In the 7 years that we've been doing this, all of our WD drives have worked flawless. Transfer speed from my RAID 5 via USB3 to a single external WD Black is around 120 MB/sec on large sequential files.

I wanted an SSD to replace an external 5400 rpm drive that died. I found this Western Digital 1TB that works very well with my 13 2018 MacBook Pro running Monterey (some important to me installed programs don't support Ventura). B&H also pointed me to the Pearstone USB 3.2 to USB type A adapter that works well instead of the $19 version from Apple.

As advertised good back up hard drive one wire which is convenient Wished it had faster RPM :-)
