Refurbished 1 TB SATA Hard Drive
This refurbished Western Digital Black drive provides 1 TB of storage on a 3.5-inch form factor. It connects via a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with a 64 MB cache. The bare drive arrives without cables or mounting hardware. It is intended for desktop systems that still use traditional hard-disk storage.
Desktop Builders Needing High-Capacity Mechanical
The drive suits users who want a large mechanical volume for bulk data, media libraries or backups on a SATA port. It is not for builders who require solid-state speed, an M.2 form factor or a longer manufacturer warranty than the 90 days supplied. Laptop upgraders should also look elsewhere because the 3.5-inch size will not fit.
SATA 6.0Gb/s Interface Determines Compatibility
The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. Your motherboard or controller must provide a matching SATA port and supply power through a standard SATA power connector. If the system only offers M.2 or PCIe slots, this drive cannot be installed.

Questions about this item
Will this WD1002FAEX SATA 6.0Gb/s drive work on my older motherboard that only has SATA 3.0Gb/s ports?
Yes, the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is backwards compatible and will operate at 3.0Gb/s speeds on older ports.
How can I confirm the 7200 RPM drive is performing correctly after installation?
Listen for the characteristic 7200 RPM spin-up sound, verify the 1TB capacity and 64MB cache appear in BIOS or Disk Management, and run a SMART health check.
Since this is a bare drive, what do I need to buy separately to install it?
You will need to purchase a SATA data cable and ensure your power supply has an available SATA power connector; mounting screws are typically included with your case.
