Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good hardrive with excellent price. I like Western Digital HD's, no issues with them. These ones run a bit quiter than the previous ones I had.

Works perfect right out of the box. Super simple to set up. This was a replacement for my main HD, a simple disk cloaning procedure with True Image, then just swaped out my old, dying drive with the new one, and restart! Ta Da! Back in business! This came as a bare drive with no cords, which was fine with me, since it was a direct replacement project.

Purchased this hard drive to replace an old one in my desktop. Simple replacement. Works great. Price is reasonable.

Bought this as a replacement hard drive for an old desktop with a crashed hard drive. This one works great. It's fast and the price was great.

Easy to install, spins quietly enough for my liking. Decent boot time.

Installation was simple. Works as expected for storing and retrieving files.

I don't claim to be a "tech guy" but I was able to replace my existing hard drive that was having issues fairly easily. Works well. No complaints.

Love this hard drive! It faster than my old one which crashed. Haven't had any problems since I installed it and it was rather easy to replace.

Replaced an old smaller Hard Drive with the WD Blue 1TB. Easy to install, works great and is faster than the old HD. WD is my HD of chose

Replaced an older hard drive that failed. This one runs like a champ. Much faster than my old one.

Great drive. Great price. My go-to drives when i'm building computers.

Worked great right out of the box, it has a lot of storage space and is quite fast

Western Digital drives are the best. This blue drive is priced right too. A no brainer when the price is really good.

Easy install and loads is quite quickly. Would purchase again if needed

This drive is perfect for a new build or for a spare data drive. It is fast and reliable.

My first one showed up powering up but basically almost the whole drive was bad sectors. The return to store was painless and second drive was shipped to me in about a week. This drive is perfect and has worked quiet and cool since a full format then installed in the box. Best Buy is easy to work with on issues and drive has a 3 year warranty so your covered pretty well in case of a defective one and I would buy one again even with my issues with the first one. It may have been damaged in shipping or just a bad one slipped through QC. The new one has been fine and was a great deal when on sale.

I purchased this hard drive as a replacement for a stock hard drive in a family member's HP all-in-one computer. Geek Squad worked on the computer two separate times, charging $150 total, insisting that they fixed the problem each time, but did not. They told us the stock hard drive was fine. I purchased this one because I was pretty sure the stock drive was failing, causing the problems. I installed the new hard drive, installed a fresh copy of Windows 10, and the computer hasn't given us any trouble since. We were able to get Geek Squad to refund the full $150 for their failed repairs and ended up only spending $50 to do it myself in the end.

I've had a 1TB WD Black drive that failed on me after ~4-5 months. These WD Blue drives are great for the price. I've managed to get 2 @ $40 each which is quite a deal. Without using benchmarks you're probably not going to notice the difference between the two drives. For gaming, these are great. WD Black are much more audible but it's not much different. Will see how these hold up as any HDD can fail.

When one day my original Seagate 1TB drive decided to temporarily hide from the bios, I knew it was time for a change. While slightly thicker than the Seagate, the WD Blue mounted with little difficulty and, once recognized by the bios, accepted the disk image on the first pass. The PC booted up quickly and works flawlessly, possibly even quicker than before albeit I haven't run a benchmark.

I have bought over 100 western digital drives over the years and they have always been reliable. I have had a few that had to be replaced under warranty, but was always replaced in a timely manner, and sometimes with larger capacity drives. I have several western digital drive that have been running nearly 24/7 for over 8 years.
