Review: Good for a second drive to store music, photo and videos on.... sounds like a geiger counter though! - I do a lot of photo and video editing, so I use this drive as my video and photo storage drive. This Western Digital Black drive is relatively fast (for a Hard Disk Drive), mainly due to the 128MB cache this model has over the relatively standard 7200RPM drive spin speed. It is loud though! Noticeably louder than my 1TB Western Digital Green drive I use to use. It literally sounds like a geiger counter. As with all Western Digital hard disk drives you get absolutely solid reliability, I still have two old Western Digital Raptor drives working since 2003. Where as the ultra fast SSD's are clearly the way forward for having your operating system and commonly used software on, there's always still a need for a second larger capacity hard disk drive to use for storing large files or backing up important files and family photos, as they still beat the Solid State Drives in regards to life span and being able to recover your data if they do fail, which is what I use this drive for. Review: Good Hard Drive - 1st Class, fast, not particularly noisy, running at about 36c at the moment but it is in among 4 other HDD's all stuck together, but it is among the warmest there. The size and the reliability and reputation of the WD Black HDD's was my reason for buying this, and it was easy to install, almost 'plug and play' in its simplicity. ## Features - Performance and capacity - the WD Black desktop hard drives offer enhanced features that maximise system performance, allowing you to spend more time doing what you love most and less time waiting - Protecting your moments - the worst thing that can happen during a rendering process is losing data due to power fluctuation or power failure - The generation of WD Black hard drives is equipped with Corruption Protection Technology (CPT), which helps to protect and limit the potential problem of data loss during power failure or power loss to the hard drive - Efficient dual processing - when it comes to processing power, more is always good. WD Black features a dual core processor that offers twice the processing power to maximise drive performance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FJRS5OW | | Best Sellers Rank | 192,567 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 774 in Internal Hard Drives | | Box Contents | Hard Drive | | Brand | Western Digital | | Brand Name | Western Digital | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 64 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | HDD | | Connectivity technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 872 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5000 Gigabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 3 TB | | Digital storage capacity | 3 TB | | Enclosure Material | SATA | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037817224, 04054842823316, 05711045913976 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA-150 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 RPM | | Hard disk description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard disk form factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard disk interface | Serial ATA-150 | | Hard-Drive Size | 3072 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC; Mac | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Part Number | WD3003FZEX | | Item Weight | 500 Grams | | Manufacturer | Western Digital | | Manufacturer Part Number | WD3003FZEX | | Media Speed | 100 MB/s | | Model Name | Black | | Model Number | WD3003FZEX | | Network Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 750 Megabytes Per Second | | Specific Uses For Product | Personal | | UPC | 808111651926 809185313895 718037817224 806291844145 014445254430 809385163238 041114165131 804066533201 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Western Digital - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** HDD - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Digital storage capacity:** 3 TB - **Hard disk description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard disk form factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** Serial ATA-150 - **Hard disk size:** 3072 GB - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive ## Images ![Western Digital WD3003FZEX Performance 3 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drive - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gFpxeBiPL.jpg) ![Western Digital WD3003FZEX Performance 3 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drive - Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QKUHC56oL.jpg) ![Western Digital WD3003FZEX Performance 3 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drive - Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31N7G0-rGuL.jpg) ![Western Digital WD3003FZEX Performance 3 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drive - Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41tm6sB0d1L.jpg) ![Western Digital WD3003FZEX Performance 3 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drive - Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41R+eI+RrKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for a second drive to store music, photo and videos on.... sounds like a geiger counter though! *by N***Y on 13 July 2017* I do a lot of photo and video editing, so I use this drive as my video and photo storage drive.

The size and the reliability and reputation of the WD Black HDD's was my reason for buying this, and it was easy to install, almost 'plug and play' in its simplicity. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great drive and not noisy at all. *by D***S on 5 November 2017* This is not OEM thankfully. Such a great price I thought it might have been. I immediately registered it on WD site and got five years warranty. Arrived quickly and installed it in my PC flawlessly. Some people say these are noisy - well I have this and three 4TB WD blacks - my rig is pretty much silent. I cannot hear this drive so there you go. Good service all together. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD Black 3TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD3003FZEX - Samsung 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM - Cable Matters 3-Pack 90 Degree Right Angle SATA Cable 18 Inches (6.0 Gbps SATA III Cable, SATA Cable for SSD, SATA SSD Cable, SATA 3 Cables), Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/47929563-western-digital-wd3003fzex-performance-3-tb-3-5-inch-hard](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/47929563-western-digital-wd3003fzex-performance-3-tb-3-5-inch-hard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
