The reason I decided to upgrade to the WD Black 6TB hard was because it was specifically made for multimedia and I wanted to ensure I was futureproof with regards to available hard drive space, so I decided to splurge on the WD Black.
When I initially installed the hard drive in my A400, I was disappointed, because the sound was bright and shrill sounding. However, I heard all sorts of detail in my music that I never heard before and overall, the volume was louder as opposed to how the Seagate sounded, so I was a bit conflicted. I had to change the settings on my receiver (Pioneer SC-79) to try to remove that bright and shrill sound. There were a few factory settings on the receiver (Upsampling, Hi-bit32 are what I remember) that I had to turn off or to the lowest setting because they were processing the sound and making it sound artificial along with it sounding bright and shrill.
These changes made it sound better, but it was still bright and shrill. I was really disappointed in the WD Black, but I remembered that some electronics require a break in (especially for audio purposes), so instead of giving up and returning the hard drive I figured I'd keep it and hope that it would break in.
After about 90 days (not 90 days straight without shutting it off, but just playing it whenever I had time to listen to music or wanted music playing in the background), I noticed a magical thing.
One morning, I sat down and turned it on and I noticed for a few hours that I did not get up because my music was sounding especially good. My music was extremely clear, the music had excellent detail (far more than the Seagate) and the volume was louder than the Seagate. The sound coming out of my speakers was something I was not prepared for (in a good way).
I figured maybe I was just in some sort of a good mood and wanted to listen to music. Well, I made it a point to turn on my system for the next few days as time permitted and it sounded so much better (as opposed to Day 1) to the point of not wanting to get up and move on with my day.
Another observation I noticed after the break-in is that the music has a "darker background". it's hard to describe what I mean but think about it like this. If you know what "white noise" is in the background, this hard drive seems to deliver less of that sort of sound. You hear more of the artist and instrumentation.
It even made the difference between FLAC files and WAV files less pronounced. What I mean by this is that some albums I have ripped in both FLAC and WAV. WAV is the absolute best sound (between the two), but FLAC is close. it was far more noticeable on the Seagate drive, but less noticeable on this WD Black.
In closing this review, if anyone is buying this for audio purposes, I suggest exercising some patience with the break in and if you are using a receiver, turn off anything that is processing the sound (similar to what I mentioned above). The audio output from this hard drive is pure. Read the owners manual and find any audio processing settings that are turned on as a default. There may be some things you leave on and you may also have to do some EQ adjustments, bass, treble, etc. but the result is well worth it. Exercise some patience with your receiver and you will be rewarded. As for my A400, there are some settings on that for optimal audio output that I'll be covering in my updated review on that whenever I get around to it. It is seriously a good piece for music.
I did NOT expect anything special from a higher end hard drive other than available storage space, but I have been pleasantly surprised and I no longer regret my purchase as I did on Day 1. I highly recommend this hard drive for audio purposes. in fact, I cannot recommend it enough.
Hope this helps with your purchase decision.
I had an old HDD 1TB which noticeable it was failing on me and made it impossible to load anything in a timely matter which at one point it told me the drive had failed and attempted to reboot. That lead to the purchase of this which was mine breaking cause it was so much faster loading almost everything games, files, storage it did really well.
I also used this to build my PC and it was amazing!
Disclaimer: The seller 'All 4 computers LLC' offered a free extended warranty for a 5 star review. I believe their service was worth 5 stars even without the offer.
Other then that the only complaint i have about it is its noisy. The first day i had it i downloaded 2.5 Terabytes of data onto it. It makes a a rhythmic thumping sound in it and when i am reading data i can definitely hear the heads seeking data on the platters. This actually got me to immedily perform a smart test to ensure it wasn't DOA. It passed its smart test its just a noisy boy. I am guessing western digital said the hell with being quiet we gotta make this as fast as we can.
The noise level is real complaint and for my use is no issue but be aware it is a thing. You will hear it do clicking at times as well. I have not seen a single instance of failure in regards to performance. I am hoping this drive lasts at least 5 years with daily use I am not rewriting data on it constantly so it should last. I keep it horizontal position in tower and I do not move tower or shake tower when computer turned on.
So as far as I can tell I am using this product normally and it has yet to disappoint me.
I compared this drive to others and for price performance I am happy. I am currently debating getting another one of smaller size for more consistent rewriting use.
To prove I am a real person and not someone paid or a fake reviewer I will provide a statement proving I am the human.
I am often wrong, my opinions can be changed over time. Therefore I am a real person and everyone now believes me. This product is good.
