Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was told by a knowledgeable friend that problems I was having with my computer could be my hard drive getting ready to go out. He recommended this product which I got installed and it has made a difference in my computer.

Does not include a SATA cable, so just be aware of that. I have plenty so it wasn't an issue. Drive went in fast and is running fine. Just what I expect.

I've had the drive about a month now and I have not had any problems with it. I am using as a secondary storage drive with an SSD as my boot. This WD installed right into the system and I've had no problems with it. I knocked off a star because there is no mounting hardware other than screws and no sata cable, and best buy's prices on sata cables is higher than they should be.

Great performance for the price. Easy to install. Highly recommend it.

It works and that's what has to happen, good speed.

Western Digital stands behind their products and their products endure for the long run. This hard drive replaced my last non Western Digital hard drive which was newer than most of my Western Digitals. Data is priceless, I trust mine to Western DIgital!

Very quiet and fast. Would buy one again when needing to upgrade my other computer

Bought to replace a failed drive in my daughter's computer. Nothing flashy, but all three booted into RAID 5 config without any issue, and installed Windows without a hitch.

Western Digital is my favorite hard drive manufacturer. I usually have good luck with it. I have a lot of computers and most of them use the Western Digital hard drives.

A good drive for the money, installed easily and loaded right up as expected.

Looked up the information online for this harddrive. There are so many choices. It did come down to this, I have used Western Digital for quite some time. Very reliable and this is the same. It was on sale and in just the right price range.

Depending on your storage/application needs this drive could be the ticket. Since it's "only" a 1TB drive it's not the budget buster that the 6TB and up drives are. If you don't need to store tons of videos or tens of thousands of songs this will do the trick. It's not as speedy as an SSD but would be more ideal for a storage disk with an SSD for a system disk.

nice hard drive, price was right. found it easy to install and set up. great product

They were able to find a replacement hard-drive for my older desktop computer for a very reasonable price. I have the Geek Squad Protection Plan which has saved me many times over.

Bought this drive to replace the one in our security DVR. The old drive had died and this one is so much faster. We will see how well it holds up to the rigors of being in a security system.

My hard drive was failing. Took my computer to a Best Buy and the Geek Squad replaced it and transferred my data from my old drive to my new one. It was done and ready before their projected completion time. Works great!

I love Western Digital, their products work great and rarely fail. I helped a friend out who's drive died and this one was priced right and works great. There are faster and higher end drives out there but for what I needed this worked great.

I buy several hard drives every month and prefer to use WD drives. They are reliable and the performance is great. I have had a few start to fail before the 3 year mark but we're under warranty and WD took care of it with a larger free replacement.

This is a mainstream hard drive comparable to Seagate and HGST. Any of these would be a good selection for a home PC. I can't say that any one of these would be better that the other within price ranges. Keep in mind that there are several choices within the size ranges. Red, Blue, Black and Gold. These have recommended uses and warranties vary by choice.

I bought this as a replacement in an older computer. I pulled out 250 gig and put in 1TB at half the weight. Unbelievable, storage is getting so inexpensive. The drive installed perfectly, formatted, and has run flawlessly.
