Is this Black Edition?

The one I got was not. I see some have complained about the black and I checked. I have had no problems at all.

This is "beyond" the black edition...it is an (older) enterprise-class hard drive meant for use in a RAID array and 24/7 operation, hence the name RE3 - Raid Edition 3. WD1002FBYS is essentially identical in all specs to the WD1001FALS (Caviar Black): Both have dual processors, 32MB cache, 7200 rpm rotational speed, and SATA/300 interface. The difference is that FBYS is marginally faster with a 12.1 ms average access speed, and it does not go into extended recalibration/diagnostic cycles as the FALS does, thus not causing a disk drop-out when used in a RAID array. As far as SATA/300 drives go, the only thing in the Western Digital lineup to beat its performance is the VelociRaptor line.

Yes... However, it states it is black. It is more of a dark charcoal color. (Still looks nice)

Yes it is black. It is not the heavy duty one like at the bike stores, but a lighter weight version.

Mine was a black one. And what is in the picture was exactly what I received and what I was expecting. Go by what is in the item description

The one that I purchased is all black. I am not sure if it is available in any other color.

No, it is all solid black. The quality is actually pretty good for the price. Putting it together was also really simple.

It is not. I think te black anodized special edition might be. But I'm not sure.

Yes, it is black. The color on Amazon is deceiving, I spoke to their representative twice and they replaced it with the same black one so I think that is the only color they have. I ended up donating it for an Open House raffle �

Absolutely nothing. I ordered two (one for each of my sons) in two different colors. The blue color was labeled "special edition" and the other (black) was not. They are identical. Perhaps the color is a special edition color.

Nope. Just in Black. You might see some versions in White; however, those are an older version that does not have as long of a range.

I'm wondering the same thing. It looks exactly like the one I have right now, except mine's black. And I bought it over a year and half ago...cheaper too. Looks like they just named it?..

Yes. I had the same concern when I ordered it, but it is black, whatever they want to call it.

Yes, it is black. Luckily I had absolutely no problems putting it together and I did it myself.
