WD Black HDD Spec and Price in Canada
WD Black is the desktop performance hard drive: 7200rpm mechanics, up to 256MB of cache on the 4TB and 6TB SKUs, and a five-year warranty — WD's longest on a consumer desktop drive, per the data sheet. It holds a two-platter design for lower latency than the Blue at the same capacity, but a 7200rpm HDD is still a 7200rpm HDD: the honest use case is bulk storage with heavy reads (game libraries, media) rather than anything a 2TB NVMe would do better. You are paying for the warranty and the sustained-transfer rating.
Prices exclude GST/HST.
