Including a 2TB capacity into their newest T5 release, as they did for the T3 prior, one might say that 2TB is also the norm… but knowing …

WD Black hard drives have long been the go-to hard drive for many storage consumers. They satisfy the needs of those looking for fast, reliable storage and although they are priced on the high side, they come with a 5-year warranty, which is hard to beat.
