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.

After a "windows 10 update" caused my system to freeze rendering it useless I decided to install a second WD 1tb drive. My first was in my desktop when I purchased it in 2011. After reinstalling all my software and Windows, I now use my new drive to "mirror" the first drive. I've had it installed for two months now and have experienced no problems. The SATA cable I used also fit perfectly and works fine.

Drive is only 2 months+ old, but so far it's working just fine. Easy to install & setup w/the OS & has plenty of room for movies, music, games, etc. So far I'm happy.

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

Runs nice and quiet. Seems to run cooler than my last drive. 7200 rpm at 6 Gbps. Overall a fine drive.

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

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.

My HTPC threw a boot record error . . . ran to Best Buy, picked up this drive for $50 . . . installed Windows 7 Home Pro and the driver for my Silicon Dust tuner without a hitch . . . restored all my audio / video content from the failing drive and now I have tons of space to keep on recording and storing TV shows, movies and songs.

Easy to install. Fit well in slot. Runs fast and quiet

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

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!

Very nice item. Quiet and fast, with a good capacity.

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.

So far it works fine. Fast. Easy to set up and good price. Quiet.

The hard drive on my 4 year-old computer died. I ran to my Best Buy to find another one. This hard drive was on sale and had just the amount of storage that I needed (and some). I had the Geeks install it and have had no problems so far. When my youngest daughter heard that the new hard drive was a Western Digital, she gave me a thumbs-up and said I picked a good one!

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

Fast, quiet and reliable drive at a great price. Highly recommended!!
