Hey. I have a bad 2tb Toshiba Sata drive with relocate count is 100 did some test with Crystaldrive software. My operating system HDD is good WD Blue HD Drive as tested. I know that Toshiba Sata drive is dying. I have 2 HDD installed together for my gaming PC. The WD HD Drive is for my operating system and the Toshiba Sata drive 2tb for entertainment and playing brand name games like fallout 4 and Rainbow Six Sigde and F1 Formal racing. I see Alot mix reviews on this Western Digital WD2003FYYS RE4 Hard Drive 2TB 7200RPM 3.5" Internal SATA WD Enterprise- some bad and some good. Some say is really good for storage and some say it wasn't worth getting. So this going my next mission after new PSU upgrade this week hopefully. Any clarity on black Edition Enterprise WD HD? Thanks for your help.

I'd make sure you get a new retail model not a decommissioned refurb or OEM unit. That way you have a warranty. Online retailers are a bit deceptive as to whether the drive has a full retail warranty.

I bought my 4TB WD4005FZBX for $140 at Office Depot, was a new unit in a retail box. Good so far, has some noise compared to the WD10EZEX Blues I also run.

This drive is a decent enterprise grade hdd. All depends on if you are buying it new or used. If new then all will be fine, if used then there is a lot of factors to consider: age, hours used, if it comes with any warranty from a seller, if it is still on WD's warranty and so on.
