Drive identity and target user
The Western Digital WD1001FALS is a 1TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 32MB cache. It uses the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and belongs to the Black series built for high-performance desktop workloads. The bare drive ships without cables or mounting hardware.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that your motherboard or controller provides a free SATA 3.0Gb/s port and that your power supply has a spare SATA power connector. Ensure the chassis has an available 3.5-inch drive bay and sufficient clearance for a standard-height drive. The drive arrives unformatted and unpartitioned so you will need to initialise it in your operating system.
Thermals noise and power draw
Mechanical operation at 7200 RPM produces audible seek noise and moderate heat typical of performance-class desktop drives. The dual-processor architecture and StableTrac mechanical design aim to limit vibration and maintain consistent throughput. Power consumption rises during heavy random access and settles lower during sequential reads or idle periods.

Questions about this item
Does the bare WD1001FALS come with any cables, brackets or screws?
The drive is supplied as a bare unit only; SATA data and power cables plus mounting hardware must be sourced separately.
Should I pick the 1 TB WD1001FALS or a different capacity for a desktop boot drive?
This model is offered in a single 1 TB capacity with 7200 RPM and 32 MB cache; choose it when you need that exact size and performance tier.
What does the 3.0 Gb/s SATA rating mean for actual throughput on this drive?
The interface supports up to 3.0 Gb/s burst transfer; real-world sustained speeds will be lower and depend on the system controller and workload.
