About This Product
The WD_BLACK 8TB HDD offers high capacity and performance for users requiring significant storage. With a 7200 RPM spindle speed and 256MB cache, it provides faster access times compared to typical 5400 RPM drives, making it suitable for large game libraries or extensive media storage. While its sequential read/write speeds are good for an HDD, it cannot match the speed of SSDs in its price range, which would offer superior boot times and application loading.
Verdict
“Buy for high-capacity bulk storage where SSD speed is not critical.”
