    I have no complaints with the product thus far. I purchased it after the stock HDD died in my laptop. It's been running splendidly since I installed it (about three weeks ago). So far, so good. I don't see any reason against buying it if your laptop has a failing HDD - but every other component is still running close to when you first took it out of the box. Luckily, all the additional infrastructure of my four-year-old laptop is in stellar condition. It was either spend $40 for the HDD swap that I can do myself, or buy a new laptop for $350-plus with downgraded specifications from my current laptop. The other option was sending the laptop back to the manufacturer for over $200. They would replace my HDD with a refurbished HDD. It's not cost-effective.

    This was a simple install. It perfectly replaced the crashed hard drive in my PS4 and has allowed me to use it again. It also gave me a sense of fulfillment knowing that I fixed it myself. It was great that the local Best Buy had it in stock, which really reduced the downtime.

    Went in to try to retrieve information from old laptop for new laptop. Old laptop hard drive had crashed and was unable to retrieve information from old hard drive. Associate recommended this as a replacement for old laptop hard drive. Works great as was the service.

    So far it's great. My old HD went out. Swapped it with ease with the new WD drive from Best Buy. A little cloning, and it's like a new box to be honest. I have not done any homework on this HD prior to buying it, i.e. I just bought it because the price was good - and it worked! Cloning might not be easy though for just anybody: my job is cyber security and hardaware/firmaware programming, so I knew what to do)))

    It's a good size drive at a reasonable price, easy to install (though that would depend on the laptop) and it works.

    The hard drive burned out on our PS4 so I purchased this. It only took a few minutes to install ( super easy) and it runs great. The price was great too!

    Had serious problems with my laptop; Geeks found the problem was a catastrophic hard drive failure. Fortunately I already had everything backed up. Geeks swapped in this Western Digital 1TB hard drive as a replacement, restored the OS, and I was back in business (after reloading programs, of course). Aside from the major annoyance of the computer problem in the first place, I couldn't be happier with the fix.

    I am a UCF student who is a very hard worker and my computer had everything on r since 2012. I never backed it up until now I know yo always do so because it crashed and I lost everything. This is the worst thing that can happen to a very studious student especially when you take all your school notes on your computer, etc. Anyways, I went into Best Buy to get a second opinion at geek squad and said the same exact thing that they could not retrieve anything, they really did everything that they could to help out. As a student we are broke,and I was trying to figure out financially how I was going to pay for my computer new hard drive, and the installation. Geek Squad knew I was under the impression of having financial problems and was able to relieve me and discount me. I was thrilled. But the amount of work the squad went through with me coming back and forth and changing my mind because my computer was everything to me I really do appreciate them. They were all so very friendly and always asked me if I needed anything, answered all my questions and explained to me the process and comforted me during the situation. I was so blessed to have such a great team to work with. Shout outs to the best geek squad at Best Buy at Waterford. And their wonderful management. My computer has been working great since and I have my old hard drive if one day I have the finances to retrieve that info.

    Bought this as an upgrade from the 60GB drive on my Playstation 3. Huge increase in capacity, no compatibility issues, and the drive performs really well.

    This HDD was purchased to replace the much lower capacity drive in my PS3 to allow for more storage and to allow more games to remain installed. The drive is quiet, performs well, and doesn't overheat the system. I highly recommend using this WD 1TB drive if you're considering swapping out the smaller stock PS3 hard drive.

    Installed this unit to a Vaio laptop and once I figured out how to use the recovery discs, it has not skipped a beast. I am no hard drive expert and I don't want to be and this unit has done exactly what I was hoping. Easy to install; Easy to program/install software; all is well in my laptop world! Note that I am using unit for a security camera system so reliability is key...so far so good!
