Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been buying only Seagate products for a number of years. I work as a software engineer though and do Full stack web dev on the side. I had an issue come up where I need to get another hard drive and quickly. The client I was working with refused to shell out the cash that was necessary for a WD Red or Black which I suggested for the uses that had intended it for and they settled for the blue instead. With this being on a system that I regularly access I can say from experience that I am impressed with this drive. Out of the box it seemed pretty run of the mill but it boots up quick, does decent for file transfer, doesn't take to much time to read or write anything to it at all and I haven't heard it make a single sound. I might have to pick up a WD black for my next personal build and give it a shot. I would gladly recommend WD (maybe not over Seagate, but would recommend none the less).

I needed a new hard drive to replace the one that crashed. This hard drive had more space at 1TB than my previous drive. It was easy to install and very quiet. I would recommend this hard drive.

Its a big old hard drive. It stores stuff, is super quiet, and was cheap. I'd definitely buy again.

Lots of storage space,very easy to install,better price than other online retailers.

Great HDD for storage and backup, works perfect with any computer, simple to install and use

Works reliably, good speeds for an HDD in 2019. Cheap, too.

Bought this to replace the wife's main drive in her windows pc since it was starting to fail. Luckily I was able to clone all the data over on the this one with no problems. Drive works great, very quiet and fast for being just a blue drive. Always relied on WD drives, never had one fail yet!

These hard drives are great for everyday uses on the PC. Cheap and quick to install. The installation of these hard drives can take 10 minutes and you can be back up and running your computer. I repaired two of my family computers when their old hard drive crashed and stopped working with these hard drives and they are still running like champs. Would recommend.

Bought two of these hard drives because of a emergency due to my existing hard drive failed. Not my first choice, but Best Buy only had these currently stocked on the shelf at my local store at the time. Both drives worked well (running Raid 1). After about a week I upgraded to WD Black drives, now using these as a storage drive for hard drive backups. They are a good basic all around drive, have had no issues.

The drive was easy to install. It is quiet and fast. There is no cable included though. That's sorry.

Drive is easy to install, fast and reliable so far. Met my expectations for a reasonable price.

price is right easy to install was surprised at the boot up speed of pc after install

This wasn't too expensive and it was really easy to install. Works great!

I bought this drive in the store to replace a Seagate that died in my computer. I had intended on getting the high performance enterprise drive but they didn't have any in stores so I got the economy model instead because I needed the system back up and running that day. I've had no issues with this drive. For my uses it's fast and responsive. Has plenty of space for me for the moment. Would definitely buy again.

The business for which I work has a few components and software that only work on Windows XP. The original hard drive in one of these machines finally died, so I purchased the 1TB WD Mainstream drive to replace it. Windows XP installed without issue on the drive and the machine is now functioning as expected. I believe this drive to be perfect for any desktop users needs.

There is a lot of space for a low price. Quite reliable. Quiet operation. Trusted brand.

My wife's desktop became erratic and was beyond the ability of the various software programs to affect a repair. I bought this drive, which was a size upgrade from her defective one, and installed it into her desktop. Installation was simple and her computer is back on line and sporting the Windows 10 operating system now rather than Vista which it had before. The drive is silent and fast.

I have bought PCs in the past as well as built my own. Those that come with other brand HDDs usually go out in a few years. I only buy WD now because they are reliable. I have purchased several 500GB and a few 1TB and even a 3TB. They are always fast and sturdy. Even when accidentally dropped, the disks tend not to break. I would recommend this brand to anyone looking for a hard drive for any reason.

The WD Blue PC Hard Drive was specifically recommended by the tech in" apple certified" computer repair store I went for my 10-year old iMac desktop. Tech replaced original internal HD with the WD Blue. The 4-star rating is my trust in WD products. I also purchased a WD external USB 3 drive for same "old" computer to save all photos, videos just in case.. ( Unfortunately, the tech's work would receive 1 star for of creating other problems during the installation of the WD internal drive and denying his responsibility.)

Fast, easily installed, and very reliable. Great warranty!
