    Great Drive to upgrade with. I had an 500 gig HD go bad on my Acer Laptop and replaced it with the 1TB drive from Best Buys. Install was a snap and it was able to boot up with the rescue disk from Acer.

    Used this to swap out a ‘bricked’ Xbox One S 500gb internal hard drive that was corrupted and unrecoverable from the Xbox preview program. This hard drive gave no issues and doubled the internal storage space from the broken drive.

    Though not able to quantify the results, noticed speedier access and response times on the TB drive. Name brand WD and low price makes it a high quality purchase and addition.

    I had a computer malfunction near the end of 2018. I was concerned that I would lose all my data. I immediately went to Best Buy and bought this 1TB Hard Drive, hooked it up and backed up all my information. This turned out to be fortunate as my computer bit the dust about two weeks later. However, all my important data survived because it was on my new Western Digital hard drive. When my new computer arrived, I downloaded all my information to the new computer and added my "new" hard drive to the computer. This was a serious success story for me.
