Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent as secondary HD (data) to complement primary SSD (OS).

Needed to transfer 400 GB of music from portable to a new hard drive.

Had to replace my hard drive in my computer. This is great choice!!

We were having a lot of power surges which caused our computer not to function properly. This device solved our problem

Needed the extra storage for our movies. Now I have some!

Nothing to complain. I like it so far. It comes with 1 yr warranty and one can use WD diagnostic tool running on their PC.

great hard drive for a older computer and a lot of space.

Have had no problems with WD HDD. Would recommend.

It's a WD HDD drive. They work. What's left to say? I bought a hot swap tray so I could use this unit to serve as a backup to my wife's computer. I'd seen the same model on sale at Fry's, and Best Buy was good to match the price right there in the store. Best customer service.

I have just gotten it but I've used western digital for years and i have never had any issues.

The Acronis (downloadable) software was easy to use for cloning the hard drive to replace my old failing hard drive. I've noticed access times have doubled and boot time has also increased. Another quality product from WD.

This drive works good so far. I'm using it for large storage along with my OS on an SSD.

Easy to install, ready to set up! We'll see how it goes!

It works fine, does what it supposed to for desktop

I was a bit leery because i Have had Wd drives fail in the past but i needed a drive on the cheap. First of all this drive does not come with software in the box What if someone with only one computer or no internet was using this drive? (Or in my case the website was down for three days so i could not download the software)Got it by other means Second No cables. Wow this company really doesn't want you to use their product. I have only had it installed for a week so at the time of this post and it seems to be working Ok Its not as fast as my Seagate barracuda in my other computer but its getting the job done. All in all if you have the cables and patients and are low on funds i guess this is a good fit

I think this is an easy to setup hard drive and it seems to work but it does seem to be a little slower than the similar Hitachi hard drive I had in prior to this one. I hope this is just a fluke since everyone I know always tells me how great these drives are.

Just wanted to let others know as of October 28, 2017 I can confirm this is indeed the "WD Blue" WD10EZEX.

Replaced a failed hard drive and this will do the just just fine, until I am able to get an SSD drive. Working great so far.(small amount of drive noise, since its a mechanical drive, like most will do).

Another solid WD Drive. Stores your data, could probably kick your butt in a fight

This drive is fine as a general use drive. Do not expect the same performance as a Black Edition drive. I'm rating it at 2 stars due to the drive failure in less than 6 months. Given the number of positive reviews here and other sites and Western Digital's reputation for quality drives I have to assume I just got unlucky with this one. Disk Failure Details: I installed this drive in my system as an additional drive to hold media. After 6 months the the PC would lockup shortly after booting. I ran the Windows version of Western Digital's Data Lifeguard diagnostic tool and it was unable to complete the diagnostics on this drive. I ran the DOS based version off a bootable USB drive which also was unable to compete but it did return an error code of 0225 "Error count reached a threshold value. There are too many errors detected on this drive to be repaired. Replace the drive." Fortunately I dont have any critical data on this drive and it has a 2 year warranty. I have submitted an RMA with Western Digital. I'm hopefully the replacement drive will be more reliable.
