Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed some extra hard drive space and for the price, this could not be passed up. The only thing I wish for differently is that WD provided a SATA data cable with power option. This would make the install much easier and no additional purchases would have to be made. The drive is working great right now. It was SUPER easy to install and get the drive formatted. I would recommend and WD products at this point.

It is working great. It is much faster than my old hard drive. The Geek Squad did the work for me, and moved all my files to the new hard drive. I am very happy with their work and with the replacement drive.

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

Excellent drive! WD reliable, fast, & quiet. What more could you ask for in a HD.

This mainstream internal hard drive is a replacement for one that went bad in my HP and I have had data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps. A lot faster performance than my old one. The 1TB capacity offers ample space for all of my business files and photos..

Needed memory for recording projects on my desktop. This drive did not disappoint. It provides quick access to my files. I've always preferred Western Digital drives as they have been the most dependable.

I would recommend a western Digital HD to anybody replacing a hard drive. Their price is usually the same, or $5 more for the drives, however the reliability over a Seagate/Hitachi/Toshiba drive is where the value comes in. What's your data worth? I'll spend the extra $5!

After a hard drive failure, I chose this drive to be my main operating system drive. It has plenty of room for multiple operating systems and storage space too. The higher RPMs and transfer rate make it very fast and WD has always been reliable.

Great storage expansion, these are go to as they are cheap and complete to install

We use these in workstations in small businesses. Fast, quiet and reliable.

I honestly don't know a thing about Hard Drives, but we bought this one to use with a surveillance system. It has been recording 24/7 for 3 months and it's still not full. It's doing what we bought it to do. I would recommend this to anyone.

Had a harddrive crash in the desktop and replaced with this one. Easy install works great and has more memory. Much cheaper than buying a whole new computer

Good performance and capacity. I am running it as the primary boot disk with Linux Mint 18 and grub boot selector. Also still running windows XP on a separate disk. I need both Linux & XP on this machine. I have win 7 on another box.

I purchased two of these drives for my small office server. I know they are not necessarily server drives, but I needed to watch the budget. So far they are working great and they are very quiet.

We will generally only use WD or HGST hard disk drives. I'm glad to see that the "mainstream" WD is now the Blue model as most people will be using this as a primary drive. The faster rotational speed and overall performance jump from the Green drives is nice. I wish the drives still had a 3yr factory warranty but pretty much everyone has gone to 1-2yr other than on SSDs and enterprise class drives.

I have several of these HDs and use them for backup with a Newer Tech Voyager unit - I can insert them and hot swap. They're fast, inexpensive and always work. I store images and other data, have been doing this for years.

I purchased the WD HDD I TB size to upgrade an old PC for my wife (3 years old) for her 59th anniversary and she loved it. The new WD 1TB HDD provided a huge space for saving pictures & files. Worked excellent and is very fast. We are very pleased

Replaced a failing drive with this one. Now I have twice the space, and a faster system, as the old drive was very slow due to errors. A very long backup of old drive restored to this drive in 15 minutes.

I purchased this for my new pc becuase I needed more space than my 250 ssd had. It was easy to install and thanks to the 7200 rpm that it boasts, I am able to call up items a lot quicker. It is a great product to have.

It does as a hard drive should, it reads and writes files. As a matter of fact, it stores more files even better than my traditional 4-drawer filing cabinet, and does so at an amazing speed of 7200 RPM!! WOW! Who could ask for anything more!?!?
