Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product for the price. It is quiet and hasn't had a single problem yet. Granted I only store video captures of video games on it, but I have no complaints to speak of.

I cannot recall ever having a Western Digital drive just outright fail on me in my 20 years of using them. Can't say the same for others (I'll name no names here). I really like the WD Blue drives because they offer great performance per dollar. The Blues are what I use as my go to mass storage and backup drives in my main system which has an SSD OS drive. I am also currently using the Blue drive I bought here (thus prompting my review of it) to hold all of my game installs. It's plenty fast enough for my gaming needs. I'll admit I'm spoiled to SSD's for productivity uses, but these are not slow drives. I very much recommend them.

When you love PC games and have the option to download your favorite selections from your streaming service this is the drive to have. Big, fast and affordable!

This hard drive is fast and has lots of storage. It was easy to install and came with all necessary parts. Instructions are included in the box. It is a good unit to upgrade a smaller hard drive.

I bought this HDD because I heard it was the best bang for your buck to replace your PS4 hard drive for more storage space. It requires removing the hard drive out of its external shell. It was easy to do. The added bonus is that you can use your former PS4 hard drive with this shell. So you still get to have an external hard drive along with the expanded hard drive space for your console. The result works as intended and well worth doing in order to optimize your cost and not have to waste good components.

This hard drive is a good drive for casual games up to some 3D rendered games, and storage. While it doesn't have the speed of a SSD, it is a nice hybrid of speed and size.

Instal was easy and it's quiet and runs smooth highly recommend this product for anyone that searching for one :).

Reliable Hard drive that I am using for back-up storage. Certainly the 7200rpm speed and RAM cache help speed up performance. However, it's important (if possible) to test each drive before putting them into daily use.

Probably the quietest and fastest drive I have had, the storage is perfect for downloading music and storing a million pictures. easy hook up and support

Great price. Easy to install and setup. Needed storage for my PC, this did the trick. While on sale, it was prices below a comparable Seagate.

Excellent product fo0r any user, fast response, plenty of storage and clear instructions. I am very satisfied and found it was exactly what I wanted and needed.

We know, it’s confusing, but we’ve done all the heavy lifting and have brought you this list of the best hard drives. No matter what you need to do, you’ll find the best hard drive for your needs right here

This is a very quiet desktop hard drive at a reasonable price. It comes with a limited version of Acronis True Image WD Edition Software for data transfer. Easy installation.

I have used WD drives for over 40 years, both internal and external, and they have never failed me. I got this drive as a second disk for my new computer. I plan to install Linux on it, and configure the machine to dual boot. I chose this particular drive for its speed - 7200rpm. I know it will work in the configuration I plan, as I have done it before. I got it at a very good price during the Black Friday sale.

Very fast for a spinning hard drive, quiet, really good data transfer rate, and dirt cheap price!

These are great drives, fast for a traditional hard drive, reliable, and quiet , too. I use these regularly and have never had a problem with one.

Excellent value, good solid drive. Speeds as expected. Nothing special, but the price tag is right. If you need a bunch of drives for system images, data archiving, or any application where speed isn't absolutely paramount, it's hard to beat the WD Blue 1TB for price and convenience. (By no means are the drives slow for what they are, they're just no SLC NAND SSD... but again, neither is their price tag.)

I recently decided to make my computer dual boot Windows and Linux. Originally, I was going to get a 500mb drive but this 1tb drive was only a few dollars more so it was a no brainer to get it. It gives me plenty of room to grow. I cloned my existing hard drive with Win7 to this WD drive and upgraded Win7 to Win10. I then installed Linux on a separate partition. I now can spend most of my computer time in Linux without MS nagging me that my version of Office is outdated, I'm using the wrong browser, etc. but still have Windows for those rare times when I need it.

I have had so many hard drives tank in the last three years that I am good at installing new ones either in desktops or laptops. This time it was another desktop hard drive failure. The ones that I pulled from the OEM were either Seagate or Toshiba. I have replaced everyone with a Western Digital Disk Drive. So far, each WD has survived and been reliable. Good selection at Best Buy and they had a number for me to choose from. The rebuild process from a System Image Recovery Drive, also WD, a passport, was easy and no pain. Good product overall.

Excellent Hard Drive. Enough storage for my IMac. Very quiet and holds a lot of storage.
