Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sanchez gave me great help on figuring out the issue and solving. I am very pleased with the customer service from Sanchez!!

These were used to backup drives going into a new pc.

Good hard drive for the average computer. Go with the black series if you use your PC as a media or file server.

Gave renewed life to my 6yr old computer, but, still have other issues. Will bring computer back for further check-up. Feel I will get a few more years out this computer.

I purchased, and had installed, this new hard drive because I got the message that my old one had a fatal error. I had all of my information backed up but this new hard drive does not want to recognize it. Even the Geek Squad has not been able to recover it all from the external hard drive. In addition, the new hard drive can not find/ will not recognize any of the other hardware or software. I have all the disks etc and still am not able to get the computer to talk to anything except the monitor (printers, scanner, programs that are downloaded but will not run) Geek squad is at a loss as well.

The included cloning software partitioned the new drive equally between two drives on the old hard drive which was partitioned about 90/10 and there was no way to change it except to delete the original small partition from the new drive, expand the original c:drive, create a new d: drive slightly larger than the old small drive and copy the old partition to the new drive. In addition without know this the new drive uses 4K Sectors where the old drive used 256 I think. The result was that using Windows Vista it completely broke windows update and I haven't found a way to recover from that.

Everything went well but I lost several pictures, Best Buy and Geek Squad were great!

Typical W/D hard drive, very dependable. Have had several W/D h/d's in the past in all my builds and never a failure.

When our other hard drive crashed, and this was a good cost effective drive replacement.

While there is certainly noting special about this hdd, it does work as advertised. Stable with no issues.

I needed a hard drive immediately. I always preferred Western Digital over other brands and the price was reasonable.

This drive is good for any home use, even light gaming rigs. 1 TB has become the standard size drive for most users today.

great to use my computer again and thank you to the geek squad for fixing my hp all in one

Needed to update this laptop and it helped that the service tech knew what I needed

Was hesitant at first, but at that price couldn't wrong. Glad I made the purchase, might get another for my videos.

Does exactly what it’s intended, securely saves data as it should.

This was a great decision .It was cheaper to replace this than to bu another computer.

If you're looking to expand computer space, and don't care much about having the fastest hard drive on the market, this will be the best purchase you could probably make without going Hybrid or SSD.

Solid state drives are the future, they've dropped in price so that you can get a 240GB one for about $65. About 99% of people use less than 240GB of storage on their PC. You should always choose an SSD over a regular hard drive like this. SSDs are more reliable and much much faster, for $5 more you'd be crazy not to get an SSD. Unless they're out of stock of 240GB SSDs because they sell like hot cakes and you're in a pinch and you need a drive. Then get one of these.

Using these as backup drives, cloned the system and keep the drives inside incase of main drive failure
