Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this drive as a replacement for my daughter's computer. Installation went smoothly. When I tried to use the included cloning software to clone her current drive, I repeatedly ran into errors where the software unexplicably would shut down before cloning began. Spent several hours with tech support, and they couldn't figure it out either!! I finally downloaded a free cloning software program which worked like a charm! Drive itself has worked flawlessly.

Works great, as expected. No issues whatsoever. Decent speed and storage for the price.

Perfect! Solid! Installed and immediately worked. I had no problems at all. Very solid item. No difficulties to install. My computer had crashed as soon as I swapped for the broken one, system was up and running

As a secondary storage drive and for the price this works wonders. Was easy to install and set up and added a great deal of space for the kids computer. I have purchased many WD HDDs in my time and always had great results.

I work IT for several businesses. I had a desktop that was not under warranty with a bad HDD. The price was better than most, and the fact that I could pick it up same day, made it a better choice than online, the client needed to be back up ASAP. Drive installed without a hitch, so far so good.

Only time will tell if a hard drive is a good one, unless it's a DOA, but I don't recall ever getting one of those. Bought this drive to replace a 320GB that got too small, and the installation was painless. Used my own copy of Acronis True Image to create a drive image onto the new drive using a second SATA cable, pulled the old drive out, buttoned up the computer, and smooth sailing so far. Plenty of room now, and the new drive is faster.

Easy to install and good value for the price tag. If you don’t need a crazy amount of storage, this is for you.

I purchased this HDD to replace the original one that came with my computer with a clean install of Windows10. Everything worked smoothly and flawlessly. The drive is quiet and fast. Western Digital usually makes pretty good drives, and this one seems like another winner.

Using this as a additional drive for storage and have installed an operating system on it. I like a drive that is quiet and this one fits the bill. I am very pleased with its speed as I use it for photo storage and occasionally boot the computer from it. WD has an excellent product in this drive.

As all hard drives fail eventually, we purchased this hard drive as a replacement for an office desktop. The price was right. It's perfect for the office needs. Thinking to purchase another for personal backups at home. Great product for a great price.

I purchased this as a replacement for my iMac that the hard drive died in. After about 45 minutes of work was back in business. Mac is a bit faster now with 3x the space of the original. Works great and I am very happy with it. Less than $50 and the iMac is like new again.

This internal drive was bought to supplement the modest 250GB drive on an older computer. Since I had an empty bay, it was easy to install the drive and simple to get formatted and running. It is fast and quiet and so far, it has performed flawlessly.

good product was easy to install. runs great is quiet and does not seem to overheat so it was great in my system.

I haven't needed to buy a drive in probably close to 10 years, after installing this one to replace a failed drive, I'm extremely happy with the speeds and reliability of the drive thus far. Probably gonna buy some more to replace my slowly dying drives once I get some more funds.

i am in the process of building a new desktop PC. I weighed the difference between an SSD and a HD 7200 RPM, 64 GB cashe. SSD had 500 GB and HD had 1000 GB. SSD cost $300 to $400 and the HD cost $49 with discount. This HD is fast and has twice the storage, so I chose the HD. No regrets.

The hard drive on my computer had crashed and I needed a new internal hard drive this one was easy to install works fine haven't had any issues great value I remember when hard drives used to cost about a dollar per gigabyte so imagine what 1 TB cost back in the day

I got this to add to my tower and use as my startup drive. I was running out of room on my system drive. So I cloned my started drive to this bigger one and it's been smooth sailing so far. I've always had good results with the WD drives, and this one seems to be keeping up that tradition.

easy setup, reasonable price. I bought this hard drive for my 16 year old son who wanted to assemble his own desktop computer. We searched around and found this hard drive to be the best for its price. My son has assembled his computer now and he is very happy with what we had bought.

Excellent hard drive and easy to install. I recommend it, it was bought for a security camera system

WD drive replaced the old Seagate drive that failed in my 8 year old desktop computer. Was going to scrap the computer but Best Buy replaced the drive in one day. Computer is up and running, much faster and a larger capacity than the old drive.
