Customer Ratings & Reviews

When my Mac Cheesegrater Tower began throwing up I/O errors, I knew I needed a new root HD soon. I ran up to my local Best Buy, looking for a basic 500GB HD. I was surprised to see this one for such a great price. I picked it up, slapped it in one of the bays, and migrated all of my data and booted it up. It's been running like a champ ever since and it gets a lot of use. I would highly recommend this HD to any potential customer.

This hard drive is faster than the other brand I had before. It installed without any problem, and runs fast and quiet.

This Hard Drive is a big improvement compared to the one that was replaced. Read/Write is much faster and my system overall performance is better. Eventually, I will need to invest in a newer computer but for now I am pleased. Excellent price.

I bought this hard drive to run in an Ivy Bridge Intel workstation as the Operating System drive. It installed fast, ran smooth, didn't cause any issues. It's quiet and stays cool. Overall, it seems like a solid little drive.

I had a hard drive failure in my main desktop and needed to work quickly to salvage as much data as possible before the drive ceased to work. A quick trip to Best Buy to pick up this Western Digital drive. I have always preferred Western Digital drives and have had the least failures with their drives. Easy install, cloning software, and good performance. Highly recommend these drives.

Had this hard drive installed by the Geek Squad after my approval. Very fast, affordable and runs quietly.

This is your basic 1TB hard drive. The price was reasonable and installation was simple. I didn't use the Western Digital software that was included with the disk so I can't comment on that. My previous "C:\" drive had been fried by a voltage surge and this was the replacement. Fortunately, I had a backup less than 24 hours old and was able to be up and running without much difficulty (but with a large dose of angst!).

Just plug in play as easy as that, works great. Use it for storage have SSD 4 operating system.

Unit runs quiet and seems to be fast have had no problems as of this Time. Good Value for size and speed.

Western Digital has been making hard drives a very long time, and are quite fast and reliable drives. Been working on computers over 30 years and have been had great experience with Western Digital. These drives will most likely outlast your computer. I will buy more for sure, here at Best Buy, which have awesome pricing and availability.

works well, quiet, install was simple. did not need ssd for this appplication

Super easy installation. Runs super quiet. Nice and fast. Gave new life to an older machine

It's a speedy drive with a nice amount of space that's great for running the OS & programs. Nice a quite as well.

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.

I've never really had any issues with WD HDD's. Installation was a snap in my new Corsair 750 Case. Booted up and have been installing and running games/programs since. Drive is fast and I'm very pleased. I currently have my OS on a SSD drive and all games etc.. on this drive. Of course any drive can fail over time but usually not quickly. So basically this review is mainly positive due to the history I've had with WD.

I have had this product for almost a year now and it has performed admirably. I use it for storing my pc games on mainly and it has worked beautifully. I have played games such as fortnite, Witcher 3, Quantum Break, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Doom and all of these games have performed like their supposed to with my setup. And most importantly, its CHEAP. Get it if you need mass storage

Large capacity, low price reliable hard drive. The speed and ease of installation are the high points.

Great drive, installed easily and performs fantastic as well as quiet.

Great drive as a replacement to a semi-dead one. Plugged in easy, recognized by system, and fast to re-install the OS. Will probably get another similar version to install 10 or 11 in the near future and run this as a backup / redundant OS.

Pretty much the name of the hard drive "Mainstream" says it all. This is pretty much the standard hard drive you want to get if you need a new one, want a backup or are replacing a dying one like I had to do. This thing has a good warranty and in most cases should last WAY longer than your PC will last anyways. 1TB should cover most people with plenty of room for games, movies, pictures, apps, etc.
