Capacity and interface

The Western Digital WD Black WD8002FZWX is an 8TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes 128MB of cache, with a DRAM cache architecture designed to accelerate read operations. The drive is built for desktop systems that require high-capacity storage on a standard SATA connection.

Creative professionals, gamers and system builders

This drive suits users who need large volumes of storage for game libraries, media projects or system images and who have a free 3.5-inch bay and SATA port. Buyers who want a boot drive with solid-state responsiveness or who lack a 3.5-inch mounting point should look at something else.

7200 RPM spindle speed

The 7200 RPM rotation rate is the single specification that determines whether this drive delivers the sustained throughput needed for large-file workloads. If your workflow demands the lower latency of flash storage, this mechanical speed will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 147.00mm length and 26.10mm height fit my 3.5" drive bay?

The drive measures 147.00mm long, 101.60mm wide and 26.10mm high, matching the standard 3.5" form factor used in most desktop cases.

Do I need any special cable or bracket to install the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface?

Connect a standard SATA data cable to the motherboard and a SATA power connector from the PSU; no adapter or bracket is required for the 3.5" chassis.

How often should I check the 128MB cache or StableTrac mechanism for wear?

The 128MB DRAM cache and StableTrac motor are sealed inside the helium-filled enclosure and require no user maintenance during the drive's service life.
