My HDD on my 17” MacBook Pro was showing signs of dying. I looked online and did some research and found this HDD on sale. It was a quick install, easily restored OS X back onto my machine, got all of the updates with ease. This HDD is quiet and has a decent speed. Boot up time is about the same as prior drive. I wanted the 1TB Hybrid HDD but due to my machine showing immediate signs of death, I wasn’t taking any chances on losing my data I’ve had for over 5 years. Bottom line...decent drive, quiet, average speed great price.

I bought this to replace the DVD drive in my macbook for extra storage. It works great and is very fast for bulk media reading and writing. Very happy with it.

I used this drive to replace a failed hard drive in an old Windows 7 laptop, where the old drive was destroyed by updating to Windows 10 after Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7. This drive worked perfectly! I was able to reinstall my operating system from a recovery disc I had made years ago, updated to Windows 10 and no longer have the 100% Disc usage problem that destroyed the old drive.

The WD Mainstream 1TB SATA drive is an excellent upgrade or replacement drive in any laptop or gaming system. I've found it to be very reliable, and its 1TB size provides more storage than most factory installed laptop drives. I use it, and I recommend it.

This drive worked great as a replacement for a failed other brand. I have been in the computer repair business for 15 years and Western Digital is my preferred brand for traditional hard drives (both laptop and desktop).
There will always be a small percentage of drives with issues - bad sectors, fail in a year or two, etc. In my experience, WD drives are the most reliable on the market these days. I won't bash any other manufacturer here, but if it is not WD, I don't put them in my customers' machines.
