WD has had 6 TB drives for a good time now with the WD Green 6 TB boasting some excellent performance figures by itself coupled with good efficiency. Other drives that boast 6 TB capacities exist in the WD Red and WD Purple line, both dedicated for specialty applications. But if there’s one thing we’ve yet to see, it’s a 6 TB drive for the high-performance segment of hard drives from WD and that is the WD Black series. While the performance sector may be looking at other solutions right now, its tough to contest the price-per-GB advantage of hard disk drives and there is arguably no HDD out right now with the pedigree of the WD Black.
Announced earlier today, the WD Black 6 TB is the largest capacity model in the WD Black series which is released alongside the WD Black 5 TB model. Both these models sport a large DRAM cache, a dual-core processor and a class-leading 5-year warranty. Other than that, the WD Black series is the performance successor to WD’s now defunct VelociRaptor series boasting performance figures of 200MB/s in both read and write scenarios. Let’s find out what kind of performance we can see from the WD Black 6 TB. Read on!
Features
- Increased Reliability –StableTrac™ Technology (2 TB and larger models) secures the motor shaft inside of the hard drive to increase reliability and help reduce impact due to system-induced vibrations from other components. By stabilizing the platters inside, the WD Black drive results in more accurate tracking in a particular sector during read and write operations, optimizing performance and reliability.
- Increased DRAM cache – The Dynamic Cache Technology improves caching algorithms in real time to allocate and optimize cache between reads and writes. This movement of cache for read data helps to reduce congestion and increase overall performance.
- Efficient dual processing – A dual-core processor offers twice the processing capability as a single-core processor to maximize drive performance for faster read and write speeds.
- Industry-leading 5-year limited warranty – Compared to standard hard drives, the WD Black drive endures more strenuous and aggressive internal testing over a longer period of time, resulting in it being backed by an industry leading 5-year limited warranty.

Maximum Potential Performance
ATTO Disk Benchmark benchmarks a drive’s read and write speeds with increasing file sizes and graphs them.
Write Performance
For potential write testing, HD Tune was used to measure the drive’s write performance. Again, we focus on the average results for real-world relevance.
Crystal DiskMark
Crystal Disk Mark is storage benchmarking software was developed by “hiyohiyo” of Japan, and is available for free. Crystal Disk Mark measures sequential, and random read/write speeds of storage devices.
Real World Copy Tests
We’ve taken our compression test files, a collection of images, documents and other files ranging from 1KB to 50MB amounting to 3,310 files for 3.34GB and a single, large 12GB file. We’re posting the raw transfer results for your reference.

Final Thoughts
We pretty much had our expectations shattered when we saw the numbers being put up by the WD Black 6 TB. We received the item with pretty much the idea that it was just an upgrade of the WD Black 4 TB we’ve seen before that put-up very impressive numbers already after its second incarnation in the WD Black 4 TB FZEX series. The bar has now been set higher with the WD Black 6 TB establishing itself as one of the fastest hard drives on the planet right now breaking past the 220MB/s read and write figures with some benchmarks showing us a peak writing performance of over 240MB/s. To give you an idea of how fast that is, the Seagate SSHD‘s NAND chip can only write around 190MB/s. That’s a NAND chip versus a rotating platter. If that’s not impressive enough for you, the fastest SATAIII SSD we have to date is the Kingston HyperX Savage SSD 240GB which does 550MB/s. At 220MB/s the WD Black 6 TB is almost 50% just as fast but with a massive 2400% capacity difference.
With an SRP of Php16,000, the WD Black 6 TB is a bit on the premium side but as we’ve noted you’re getting a heck of a lot for that price. We all know prices will settle a few months after launch, there is still that audience out there that can benefit from this product including multimedia professionals which work with really large data notably 4K video. Gamers that keep a lot of files can also benefit from the large capacity and performance of the WD Black 6 TB especially with today’s most demanding AAA games having install sizes of almost 50GB or more. Backed by a 5-year warranty, WD stands firm in this product and that should give you comfort that should this product fail, WD’s got your back.
There’s really nothing we can complain about the WD Black 6 TB, it’s arguably the fastest hard disk drive we have encountered right now. If you’re looking for the best performance hard drive right now for work or games, the WD Black 6 TB is your only choice.
WD backs the WD Black 6 TB with a class-leading 5-year warranty. We award the WD Black 6 TB our prestigious B2G triple crown: B2G Editor’s Choice, B2G Performance Award and B2G Gold Award!

SICK PRICE TOO!
Hopefully it settles down fast. Php16000 for 6TB and 13900 for 5TB is quite steep.
Erl
2 in RAID 0, beastly editing drives!
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the noise… The Blacks are among the loudest HDDs out there.
I would but some argue its fine, some are really ticked off by it. My biggest gripe about these drives is that they’re really warm, around 55*C in my case.
So that makes them the hottest and loudest drives around.
Capacity plus performance. Period.
I like that not everyone could buy it.
i need the hard drive for storing movies and music and of course games since i dont have an SSD.
I’m gonna need this for my teaching career and gaming life! :DDD THIS WILL BE AWESOME!
Basta WD, sure HDD! lol
tons of “cookies”
Enough to hold “HD Collections”! :p
Who doesn’t want more storage?
I have 1Gbps internet but only 500GB HDD 🙁 i need this.. You know why …… hahahahaha. Thanks B2G! <3
16k dream is dead.
Mamaw sa size. Mamaw sa presyo.
This would be badly needed as a gamer engineering student. Documents, installers, movies and the like takes too much space. A great revolution such as this is a truly remarkable feat
Excellent HD for massive collection of games.
Love the size and performance! top HHD on my list!
1st of all i want this 6 tb hard disk because its so expensive i dont have money to buy this <3 2nd its my dream to have this awesome hard disk,if im not gonna win this probably 5 yrs from now. 3rd i dont have a hard drive now because my psu fried my old excelstor hdd ^_^. please choose me
Real World Test (a.k.a) copying files is the one that i liked on the review.
massive storage and performance for current massive games. i want one.
Its nice and fast and massive just like its price lol
How hot is “a bit hot”?
Arrrgh matey storage. /gg
I want one..I recently bought WD Black 4TB and it’s not enough for my files..
12gb in a minute? Plus 207mb/s transfer rate, what more can you ask for? Surely top choice for HDD!
Nice drive 😀
Power!
Insanely huge storage one of the best bang for the buck hard drive manufactured by my favorite company WD! Thanks for the chance you have given us Back2Gaming! More power and Godbless to us all 🙂
Back when 500GB was the bomb I bought a WD Blue. I definitely want this! Faster speed, bigger size! I can store lots of Games!
WD = beastmode 😀
Bigger size and dual processing make WD Black 6TB a beast 😀
I find it amusing to see a high speed storage and 6TB (godlike). Since not all people can afford buying SSD.
I’m planning for an upgrade in the near future and this would be a perfect choice for my storage.
5 year warranty is the winning point.
been using wd black since forever this one is one of the best hdd ever
I would like to have one of those. but the price is a little to high for me right now. overall its a great hard drive to have especially if you need some big storage.
I like.
I want.
I need.
I love.
THIS!
I like Western Digital itself.
I want the Black variant because it’s top of the line in WD HDDs.
I need the 6tb for my files as well as the games i’ll be playing henceforth.
I love to have this in my newly built system unit.
THIS is the Western Digital Black 6TB. <3
I like WD brand for storage a years ago. Because its quality and reliable. overall its a great BRAND for hard disk.
I don’t even know if I would be able to fill that within the 5-year warranty 😀
its pretty cool
I don’t even know if I could fill this up within the 5-year warranty 😀
Its cool to have such a huge storage the only downside is when there are certain incidents that will corrupt the data and even accidentally lost a data
I really need a huge storage in my pc
I like the performance of the WD Blacks and it’s legendary 5 year warranty =D
More storage space and much faster, i want this for my diskless server build!
FOR THE STEAM LIBRARY~~~
Im a WD user since I started using computers. Now I have 2 Caviar Blue 500GB HDD installed in my file/gamedisk server. I need this 6GB HDD because of massively growing numbers of available games. I will use it as a Game Disk for Virtual Disk / iSCSI Drive since I own a small computer shop and as a File Caching storage making browsing and stream videos load faster from a Client PC connected to my server. File Caching prevents repetitive downloading of files over the internet. It means that users will pickup the files / videos directly to the server HDD. This will result to lag-free gaming and less spike on latency for gamers. Movies will be stored in this HDD too for Plex Media.
WD Black is the fastest mechanical HDD as of today. I can guarantee that.
Fast Read/Write speeds and the much needed capacity for steam library.
Damn! Impressive speeds, Huge storage (that’s a lot of 1080p porn ahahaha) , and the 1st ever 5 year warranty (got sold to this one) !!!
As a gamer this Massive 6tb is a big help… Thinking that your computer could have more games without thinking of lack of storage space specially that games need more and more space nowadays. Having one would greatly improve my gaming computer which will make me feel secured that I would not need to uninstall games so that I would have space for my personal and work files. And if I get one I would really be proud to be having the most advanced storage!
Excellent!
I have a fiber connection and access to all the movies! This HDD will be put to good use with me :))))
*Excellent performance
*Massive storage
*5 year warranty
Biggest and Fastest! Well I’m the 90’s kid and I hard drives are always been a part of my life! From floppy to zip to HD’s! Western Digital never fails to amuse me in every reviews and products they lunch yearly! Now, having this 6TB HD would mean everything to me in this decade since 6TB can get all my data + future 5 years of data and warranty! Too Great for me!
Capacity, performance and price

Wow I guess I haven’t been updated with the latest in hard drives. Didn’t know WD had these, might have to save up and get one, as 1 TB drives really aren’t enough for me anymore.
great performance on a single 6TB but the price urgh.
performance, capacity, price and easy to RMA
WD Black model and a massive storage! One of the most trusted brands with its best model. What more can you ask for? Thanks WD and B2G!
Massive storage space for my photo-video work and steam games. Great performance speeds for demanding professionals and gamers.
Awesome ! It has a large capacity of storage.
i want this WD Black 6 TB because it is better in back2gaming !
Gigantic disk space and great performance but still a bit pricey for now
storing my 6tb of porn vids in a WD 6tb black will be an insult to this magnificent hdd. if given the opportunity to have one of this, i’ll put this to good use, like as a scratch disk.
it’s 6tb, 6tb!
Super big storage mean great responsibility! Must have
I want this!
give this to meeee pleaseeeee 🙁
nice 6tb hm this is awesome!!
Best bang for the buck Hard Disk Drive out there!
SPEED!
Massive Storage Capacity and High Speed Data Transfer without compromise on reliability is a must for every PC enthusiast. WD Black 6TB did not fail to deliver. Well done Western Digital for another true enthusiast grade hardware.
An excellent drive yet pricey.. A must have for those who want more storage and performance at the same time. Bang for the Buck.
I love it’s monstrous capacity!!!
6TB.. Every Content Creator needs.. :v
This is so cool.. 😀
Would love to have one of these. As this 6tb storage could greatly minimize my need for multiple drives.
Hook up this baby to a NAS and transfer all my Music, Movies, Games and Anime, and we’ll gonna have a party at my house. This is gonna be a great single storage for all the things that we love. That price tho …
The capacity and the performance! 🙂 (Y)
what every one has been dreaming off…all in one drive booyaahh!!!
this is a one hot big momma. ^_^ performance and capacity are at its best. got’ta love to put all of my collections and games on this one huge beast container! 🙂 would surely love to have this one and highly recommended to all PC enthusiast, gamers and professionals out there. ^_^
I like the performance of WD and I need this for storage of all my works (programs). And of course storage of my games 🙂
What i like about WD black drives is its durability and performance perfect for IO intensive applications! i would need this one to expand my desktop storage for VM’s and pron stash just kidding. 😀
Performance, Storage Plus its black? oh hell yeah!
What I like about the WD Black 6 TB is it’s read and write speed performance, the big storage capacity it has and of course the 5-year limited warranty. I need this this massive storage product because I can save and install a lot of my important files, games and applications with a good read and write speed performance from this drive.
I’d like to have this baby on my Rig.. Damn 6TB of Pure Awesomeness..
I like its awesome performance, great for editing. But its really expensive.
Massive storage and excellent performance …perfect for any gamer
super awesome performance! (Y)
WD Blacks have 64MB Cache which makes it very responsive in systems. That’s what makes WD BLACK is special and out of this world! This is alien technology! Better than Aldub!
I only have a 250 GB Storage. so you know. I really need this awesome WD Storage.
Great! If i have this WD Black 6TB, I wont be saying “I need space baby” literally!
Increased Reliability
Increased DRAM cache
Efficient dual processing
a dual-core processor
a ferrari engine 😀
Awesome features! “The largest and fastest” – I need this on my engine 😀
I have a WD drive and it never gave me a headache for many years! for sure when I buy a drive it will be a WD drive again!
for me WD is the best hard drive in the world because its read and write and reliability performance is so incredible but i have no many to buy that powerful,massive,enthusias recommended hard. but WD and B2G giving a chance to give free 6tb that i want to get=)
Fast, reliable with high capacity.
I like the features, specially the “Increased Reliability”, “Efficient Dual Processing” and the “5 year warranty”, since this card is so expensive or have a sick price for an awesome sick hard disk, the 5 year warranty plays a great role in this kind of price pool hardware.Efficient dual processing is spot on as said on the review which is very nice. Increased Reliability is awesome they pushed their hardware or innovate something that can outcome a simple hard disk to a beast. All in all, “WD Caviar Black Editions” never fails to amuse me. I’ve been watching reviews about them since i want to buy one for myself but the price points are too high, I’ve been using my 500gb WD Caviar Blue for almost 3yrs now and it never failed me, maybe this is a great time to move. Since all the upcoming games or AAA games are space hungry and demands a higher storage which requires 20gb to 70gb space which is a pain in the ass for me or maybe i can use this for future use for a home cloudstorage if it ever come to my mind and of course 8k Quality porns just kidding hahaha!
I like western D brand it’s Awesome performance, reliability and have a Awesome Review on it so that i love western D and one more thing 6tb Black it’s Awesome Storage in personal files and anymore
Usually if you see something massive, you immediately assume that it would be slow. I like the fact the these Blacks proved me wrong. Add the “do-whatever-you-want-within-5-years-and-we-will-replace-it” badge and you got yourself damn good winner. Just don’t look at the price tag.
I would love to store my files there 😀
Will not see a red bar anymore under My Computer.
Huge capacity, fast performance, WD quality. What’s not to like?
look at that sexy hard drive , my prons will love this bad boy
Insane speed and lots of storage space for a massive STEAM library!!!
Capacity and Speed!!!! Love IT!
Black is Beautiful!
Thisss
I like its large storage space so I could put all my files in it. It’s fast, too.
I actually own a Red one and it’s really reliable, fast, and BIG. No problems so far after 6 months of usage. I am assuming that the black one would do the same excellent performance. I also love the 5-year warranty. 😀
I like <3
I like the fact that it has 6 Terabytes storage capacity. And I need this to replace my current storage drive which is a Western Digital Blue 500 GB drive which recently started showing some bad sectors.
How can i remove my comment above? I forgot to sign in. Anyway as I’ve said.
I like the fact that it has 6 Terabytes storage capacity. And I need this to replace my current storage drive which is a Western Digital Blue 500 GB drive which recently started showing some bad sectors. I use this drive to store drivers, ISO and user files from computers that I fix. I have a small home based business and this drive will save me a lot of the issues I’m having daily with my storage needs.
More storage for me <3
I gotta want this…. a single 6TB for my storage is cool since my 4TB is crowded already
Excellent performance, Massive storage.. I want this
large space and that data speed transfer.. holy sh!t
I like WD Black 6 TB hard drive because it’s reliable,efficient and has a high capacity that can handle all my stuff.
I like the reliability, performance and of course the big storage capacity WD Black 6 TB has. I need this massive storage product because I’m running out of space in my old slow hard drive and I want to experience the excellent read and write performance it has when I’m using my applications.
I really love its capacity as well as the performance!
Speed and Capacity, WD Black 6TB has it!!!!!
Fast Read/Write speeds and the much needed capacity for mucho mucho storage awesomeness!
It’s better than what I am using right now because of its incredible high speed transfer rate
The 6 terabyte storage can easily accommodate my games and movies, collection. I really hope on seeing this hard drive in my PC because as a student I really need this kind of space for my games, files and movies.
in short, THIS HARD DRIVE IS AWESOME!

A massive storage
for a massive price.
Price will deteriorate but not the storage!
well at least, sooner. 😀
I still need larger storage when an accumulated 6.5gb is still not enough…
All hail WD!
i like the Efficient dual processing/Increased Reliability/Increased DRAM cache bacause this very useful feature can help you bring more efficient and much more productive in everyday task and reliable longer lifespan stability, it guarantees smooth performance in higher speed when it comes to working in multi-tasking and boosting or enhancing your gaming experience that will transform your normal HDD to awesome performance with huge 6 TeraByte capacity
without worrying because it has 5-year limited warranty 🙂
i have WD Blue 320GB since 2007 still working good but the storage size is limited and
i need larger file storage for applications in daily work,games for entertainment/stress reliever
and more imporantly to save more memorable photos and precious video of my family,friends and my love ones 🙂
Thanks Back2Gaming,WD Philippines for the great detailed informative review and for the funtastic giveaway 🙂
I like this WD Black 6 TB hard drive because of it’s storage size of course and the Black label is catchy to me. It will be useful for me for I have lots of pictures, music, videos and games games games! I currently have only 320 GB hard drive which is WD too (Caviar Blue) and it’s still serving me well for 8 years!!
More SPACE!!!!!!!
I want & need this drive where can play my games very well, store movies i wan’t and especially run my computer smoothly. Thanks in advance B2G! Godbless! #WDblack #westerndigital #back2gaming
need this drive to store all my media as it offers unparalleled performance in terms of read and write speed, bang for buck I’d say, especially it’s the fastest drive that WD offers this time around and may even come up with more ideas to make their lineup for internal drives more appealing~~
Thanks B2G!! #WDBlack6TB #westerndigital #back2gaming
I will never worry of running out of space anymore!!! 🙂
FOR MORE GAMES!!!!
This is the ultimate storage solution for both work and play! Perfect balance of speed and performance and value!
MOAR SPACE! MOAR MOVIES! MOAR GAMES! MOAR PR0….. GRAMS!!! I want that 6tb!!!
I have 2tb black and running out of space. I need this NAO!
best review <3
OMG I like the its design and the storage is very ok to me!
It’s 6 Tera-Freaking-Bytes. Enough to put it in all of my games/music/movies and with its caching and dual-core processing power it will extremely help in storage and video editing. Its the extreme of the HDD world.
This is soooo nice, exactly what I need for a new pc I’m planning to custom build!
pleease let me win this. my 1 tb is almost full. :3
I’d rather get this than the Seagate desktop SSHD because Seagate’s SSHD only offer 3 years warranty versus Western Digital Black’s 5 years warranty that will give you peace of mind if you’ll be investing on this piece of hardware. Plus it’s faster than the hybrid Seagates.
I really like the WD Black 6 TB because of its performance and storage capacity. I need this drive because I need to replace and upgrade my 4 year old 160gb WD hard drive.
The fastest hard drive available in the market with 6TB worh of productivity.
Big and fast.. nuff said
I have used WD Blue for a while and it was awesome! Excited to try WD Black!
Wow! It has everything I needed
great storage
Specs and benchmarks say it all. 6 TB of blazing speed! Me gusta, hermanos!
Power!
This is one massive drive!
What I like the most about the WD Black is of course the performance itself. Faster read/ write, larger cache and WD is always known for producing quality hard drives so this WT Black must be an excellent drive for every uses.
huge hhd awsome
This is sweet! Need this for animé, movies and games
This 6tb is a mind blown. i can saved my whole life picture there
Awesome!
Efficient dual processing is a must in today’s intelligent storage solutions… The WD Black is proving once again as the defacto standard to beat in performance and relaibility…
I really need this!
The largest and fastest. buff said!
The largest and fastest. Nuff said*
I must have these for my dirty secret files 😀
I want one…I need it for my online games..Games these days are storage space hungry… I really need that WD BLACK 6 TB HARD DRIVE!!!!
Finally! A Hard Drive that will never fail you!
beast performance
I Need Massive Storage for Hardcore Gamers Like Me
Been using a 1 TB WD Black for my rig more than a year now. No problems since day 01. As a photographer, constantly burning my photos to DVDs is a chore I’d rather avoid with the help of a monster 6TB drive with the same performance as the 1TB I currently use. And then there’s the occasional video editing job that gobbles disk space like there’s no tomorrow.
stupendous!!!
Well, I have been trying to build a new rig, which I started building in 2010 and isn’t finished yet. I don’t have aa HDD for it yet so getting this would be great!
Senpai! hahaha
I’m a fan of WD HDD external or internal. And I would be happy if I could get this WD Black 6 TB hard drive. Stay Awesome guys!! #pcmasterrace #WD #massive
Nice Review. +Rep
This HDD gives consumers bulk and speed all at the same time. Highly recommended to those who are looking for an SSD but cannot afford the price/capacity ratio. I’d be glad to receive one because my current WD Blue is already dying after 4 years of gruesome usage.
Almost SSD-like read/write performance with MASSIVE storage size!
Almost SSD-like read/write performance with MASSIVE storage size, I’ll be more that happy to own one.
I want to get that beast but i didn’t have enough money, i have already 2 500gb wd blue but its almost full, I need more storage that can handle my games in good performance..
WD best HDD for me! \m/
It’s the best hdd of all time!
Cool I really like this HDD two thumbs up!!
It’s sad that it’s price is high but, hey! you won’t be worrying about insufficient space 😉
This is cool and awesome! I NEED ONE OR TWO OF THIS!
The larger the better!!! well I guess better is an understatement for this beast of a hard drive!!! Nice review by the way…
Massive storage! 6gn FTW!
Once you go black, you never go back! HAHAHA~
7200 rpm and 6tb what can i not love about this?
best in the world!!!
need it bad my WD green 2b will be full soon so i need one of this beast of a storage…
Fast for a mechanical drive and with an awesome capacity!
Large storage + Fast = awesome
Fast + Massive Storage = AWESOMENESS
As a gamer and Marketing assistant/Graphic designer. This is a must have for me!
WD will not dissapoint you , 6TB with 7200 rpm? so amazing
I really need to win this giveaway because my WD blue 1TB is already full and i cant install more games 🙁

good for media drives and a storage for huge size games
A good alternative for an SSD with a massive disk size. Perfect for an HTPC
WD Black is the bomb! Capacity and performance ratio is quite fascinating.
Got 2 WD Black drives, a 1 TB and a 4 TB. Both are built like a tank!
I really really like the product! The amount of the CAPACITY that you can use (sky’s is the limit!) 6TB? Wow! 1st ever built for you to use personally, on your own RIG… You will never be bored about the performance, the speed and the efficiency while it’s run. It’s very very easy to use… Don’t forget also the original look/design of WD hard disk, Is like a “Black Hole” with no endless “save and copy” ha ha ha… Hard core!! As a gamer and also love movies… That’s also make a lot of file at my Job, everyday. I really really need this bad ass “HD” (sorry about that, can’t help it). : )
I like the design of the product. Also the storage is really huge. Perfect for backups.
I liked this one for it’s massive storage and dependable stability and durability. =)
It’s a WD Black drive! Faster than the average hard drive!
I want to win a WD Black 6TB HDD from @back2gaming! – http://www.back2gaming.com/news/contests-and-giveaways/the-big-b2g-wd-black-6-tb-giveaway/

• Speed ✓
• Reliability ✓
• Space for my “personal” files ✓
• Space for my “ultra-personal” files ✓
• 1 to 3 years warranty is not enough? Don’t worry, Western Digital Got This! , I don’t know if 5 years is not good enough for you, but for me it is absolutely perfect ✓
All in all, I still adore Western Digital Hard drives especially this black version over any SSD for my storage purposes. If I ever win with one of these hard drives, I won’t be needing to delete my old “ultra-personal” videos just to store new and fresh ones.
Damn Good Storage.
and it’s WD. nothing more to say.
Great storage and performance!
wow i’m really impressed to wd’s hard drives ever since 🙂 they have the must buy products
To download and store games especially from steam library, and to store music and high resolution movies! Store high resolution and edited videos which takes up too much space as well as high res photos and edited photos.
want one badly need storage
I like the performance and need that 6TB capacity!
WD black is good for storing 3D model and components and other graphic works.. i love to have one of this soon
Sick product! Just what I expected from @westerndigital #WDRULES!
This would be perfect for my Videos. I do a lot of editing and always runs out of space. Would be a waste if I delete old projects 🙁
What I love is the Performance of WD Black.
I’ve Always want a 6tb hard drive. I hope i win this. i love the performance too. 🙂
the best
This is unbelievable. 6 terabytes of awesomeness.
Wow nice a 6 terabyte storage with power performance. I badly need it because of my tons of school works documents, together with my collection of movies, games, programs and anime and manga collections. It can easily accommodate all of it. Please I really need it 🙂
6tb storage great for anime and movie collections! and the most important, games!
I need 6TB storage for my files. Thank you so much!
i own one, and it is extremely reliable
Performance + Build Quality… 6 Tera Bytes of Pure Awesomeness
Maximum capacity with 7200 rpm, how can I not love this new release from WD? I really need this on my rig, not only because I don’t have one but I love WD eversince I learned how to build my own rig. I tried using WD Black 80gb, bought it on Dec. 2010 and it really served me well ’til 2015! More power WD!

nuff said WD rock!!
i’ve been using a 500gb wd hdd for 4years now and i feel like it’s time for an upgrade. the sad things is i don’t have enough cash for that due to me being a student. i really hope that i get to win this one. it’ll mean the world to me.
this is very good
I have over 4 WD hard drives in my rig; one of them is almost 6 years and it never failed even once.
Love the performance on paper and will probably use this for my photos! I’m a photographer and this will boost the storage where I dump by backup files.
Got 2 WD drives in my PC, one for OS and one for storage. I have so far no issue with these Green and Blue series and would like to try Black ones. 😀
One badass harddrive 😀
WD Black is the most a$$ kicker of all… Good for storage and can keep my games in to it…
Giff meee :3 gonna need for a build. This 6TB hard drive will surely be filled by awesome games <3
I need this for my Steam games!
WD Black and a storage of 6tb?! I could save all of my music,games, movies and video edits plus apps in this HDD! :O
This will be an awesome upgrade for my rig! There should never be a limit to storage! Great review b2g 🙂
I like the excellent performance of WD Black 6TB based on your review. And it is always easy to RMA WD products. I want this HDD because i’ve been always a WD user and i could use this massive storage for my movies and other files 🙂 My 1TB blue is not enough anymore. 🙂
i want to have a larger storage for games and office works 🙂
MASSIVE STORAGE > FAST BOOT (SSD)
Best Storage Ever, Western Digital Fan Since i got my first PC.
i want to store more files, programs, games and movies to great
WD WD6001FZWX and WD WD5001FZWX.
I need this kind of Massive Storage device for my video editing, CAD and Sketchup files, gaming the rest of my life! Best price for this kind of reliable and superior HDD. I dare all of HDD manufacturers to compete with Western Digital now and then, the best of them all!
This storage is the last thing I need to complete my rig.. my 120gb ssb is nearing full capacity and i really really want and need this!!
no mention of the noise really? If you have a PC set-up for quiet operation then this HDD is a no-no.
Need this kind of massive storage. Never mind the noise.
Is the access time really 8.7ms? Sounds like some tricky caching was taking place. My Seagate 6TB 7200RPM desktop drive, model, ST600DX000 has an access time on HD tune pro of 17ms! – in read mode of the benchmark tab. My 2TB Caviar Black has an access time of 11.8ms or 12ms.
So 8.7ms is crazy low, suspicious.
And in the real world copy test, is it copying the files to itself or to/from another drive? 200MB/s copying to itself is crazy. My Seagate mentioned above can manage copying to itself (large files) at a rate of 60MB/s, so about 120MB/s total transfer speed, empty drive.
Updated the post with access times for your reference.
Also for the copy test, its copying FROM a PCI-e SSD. And for those asking about noise, I really don’t find it that loud even when in the top-dock of my primary unit which is just 2 feet away from me.
nice review? where can i buy this? i’m from makati
Try this for an official list:

But you can definitely find it at most of the stores at gilmore and Lazada should have some available.
