I use these for storage drives in my budget builds and they r rock solid!! Last forever, fast enough to access quickly, and fairly cheap. On sale got for $50. Can't beat tht

Quality hard drive, not loud, has decent speed. Its massive storage at a good price

Plenty of storage with a terrabyte of space. Excellent price point for this drive as well. Fast performance, easy to install, no muss, no fuss - just a great deal.

I've bought several Western Digital hard drives over the years and always love 'em. Got this one to add to my Windows 10 PC for extra storage as a second hard drive. Installed in minutes with no issues. Didn't come with a SATA cable so had to rush out and get one but that was the only thing I wasn't crazy about.

After building my PC 6 years ago I finally was running out of storage. Picked this WD 1 TB blue to be my new main drive for my Windows 10 upgrade. Installing the drive was simple and the OS was up & running quickly. I usually work with the Black series, but there's nothing noticeably different with this blue. It's quick, quiet, and has consolidated the three older drives with plenty of room to spare. Time will tell as with any hard drive, but past experience with WD drives has been excellent, and I expect the same results with this one.

I needed an inexpensive 1 TB internal hard drive and this one works great. I don't hear a thing from it and performance is good. It is not an SSD, but it doesn't cost that either. This is a good drive and I hope reliable. I've only had it for 1 month.

Got this drive as a replacement/exchange for a new Seagate 1TB HDD from Best Buy that was unable to be detected by my computer BIOS right out of the box (see review for the Seagate 1B HDD). This Western Digital drive was detected in the BIOS right away, with the model number, and I was able to install Windows 7 right away without problem. As mentioned in the "What's not so great" comment, I note the Western Digital body/case is built beefier like the hard drives of yesterday as opposed to the thinner Seagate body (which is easier to handle) but just maybe the beefier body helps heat to dissipate better (and augur better reliability down the road). Also might say from having gone to both manufacturer's websites, I'd give Seagate the nod in that respect for ease of use on the website, layout and tools, but in the end, am happy to have a working hard drive.

Easy to install, very quiet and fast and great price. Great product! Had it almost a month. Love it.

Relatively easy to install, respectable store capacity, and very fast. It has operated flawlessly so far.

I rebuilt/repaired a computer for a family member, and needed a new hard drive. I wanted to put something larger in than what they had previously, and found this HD. They went from a 250GB HD up to a 1TB HD. The drive is quiet, reliable, and was a good price for the storage amount. I had no issues formatting it, installing the OS, and apps. Computer has been up and running for a couple months now, no issues. Very happy with this HD.

Easy to install, great price, plenty of space, runs quite and smooth. What more could you ask for from a hard drive?

Fine, basic, solid desktop drive. Performance is more than acceptable. As I recall, this one spins at 7200 which makes it a bit quicker. Occasionally I hear it spin up but mostly it's very quiet. The utility program you can download is not great, but it *should* work well enough to copy from another drive. In my case the source drive had an issue so I needed a more robust utility program. Great drive for the price.

Fast, quiet and reliable drive at a great price. Highly recommended!!

I was given a four year old Dell 380 with a 160 GB hard drive. The Dell was labeled as a Widows Seven but running XP. I found the W7 boot disc amongst the accessory disc/papers that came with the freebie. My local Best But had the WD - Mainstream 1TB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive for Desktops in stock. GREAT PRICE. Easy installation with the quick mounts. Loaded the W7 boot disc and followed the googled installation guide displayed on my iPad. VERY EASY. It is nice not having all the unwanted programs slowing startup/shutdown etc.

Nice quiet drive! Great price! Easy to install! And Plenty of space!

Fast @ 6 Gbps, unlike some others. Reliable and quiet at an excellent price!

I purchased 2 of these. Installation is quick and easy.. Set one as D drive and used the Acronis software to clone my original C drive. Very fast way to clone the drive. Then removed original C drive and set the cloned drive to boot with the second WD 1TB as d drive. Total time 30 minutes to install. Super quiet drives are fast and reliable.

Bought this as a backup and test hard drive when fixing computers and it works like a charm! Quickly installs Windows & programs and is super quiet. Works great as a boot drive or a dumping ground (when paired with a boot SSD) and has plenty of space for music, movies, and games. Buy it!

Bought this to increase my computer's storage space. Preforms faster than my old drive, but make sure you buy a 6gbps sata cable as one is not included with this Drive. Installed very easily and was instantly recognized by my computers.I can say I've have had no issues with it at all in the few months since purchasing it.

After reading many reviews, I went with this Western Digital hard drive to replace my 6 year old drive. Installation was extremely simple and the drive is nice and quiet. I've only had it running for a couple of months now, but I've had no issues and I'm very happy with the performance of the hard drive so far. I would definitely recommend WD drives!
