## Description

WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB VELOCIRAPTOR SATA 3.5IN HD. NOT ELIGIBLE FOR WESTERN DIGITAL REBATES OR REPORTING. NON-CANCELLABLE AND NON-RETURNABLE

Review: WD1000CHTZ enerprise class drive is high performance and highly reliable - I am an electrical H/W engineer with 35 years of design experience. Have designed numerous products including networking equipment that uses Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Broadwell Intel embedded processors. This equipment is used at desertcart, Apple, Google and numerous other high end companies. This equipment also uses dual 1TB WD1000CHTZ VelociRaptor hard drives. These drives are "enterprise" class hard drives, meaning that they are high performance and high reliability drives. I don't use the "ice pack" really a waste of space and money. Instead mine are mounted on drive sleds/trays that slide into a quad tray 5 1/4" drive slot. This 5 1/4" quad drive bay has two VERY quiet fans that draw air in from the front, thus very efficiently keeping the drives cool. Drive bay part number is BP-SAC1425AVL 2.5". I clone my hard drives (operating system drive, data drive #1, data drive #2 and data drive #3. That way, when the inevitable virus infection occurs, my MASTER offline operating system drive is cloned back onto my working online drive and the virus is gone. Virus usually infects operating system drive. Having said all this, I have ten of these drives and have had ZERO problems. I use Windows 7 with MBR (not UEFI) boot records on the hard drives, which limits drive size to 2TB, but that is OK. If you have a large hard drive and it fails, you lose lots of data. 1TB seems to be the perfect size. The performance and reliability of this drive is excellent. Yes, they were manufactured in 2013, but new "old stock" that is unused is just as good as the day it was manufactured. That is why this drive is reasonably priced. These drives used to sell for $450, so $135 is a steal.
Review: Cool, Quiet, and Fast - Does NOT Include Heat Sink - I bought this hard drive to replace an old HD that was starting to fail. I use this as a secondary HD mainly for video's, music, photo's, etc... and I use a Samsung Pro SSD for my main HD to run all of my programs and games. Overall I am very happy with the drive. It is small, cool, quiet, and fast for a mechanical drive. I never hear this thing spin up so it has been very quiet. However I do have one issue and that is with the stock photo they show above... this drive does not include the 3.5" heat sink like what is shown in the photo and I had to buy that separately for an additional $25.00. Kind of deceiving when they show it in the photo and it doesn't state clearly in the product description. Otherwise still the best mechanical drive you can buy.

I purchased four of these drives. Of the four two seem to be ok, one as showing up as degraded, and one did not work at all.
