It's a Beautiful Drive Connecting it and starting it inside me desktop computer is a matter of minutes. I will use this unit as a backup for all the important data I have in my computer. That includes documents, photos, videos and other work files. At first it seems fast and efficient.

WD-Blue 2TB internal SATA hard drive works really good. It is running quiet and cool.

I had never bought a WD drive before. My old drive had stopped working at all. I hooked it up and installed windows and have not looked back. This drive is great for replacing a broken drive or I imagine it would work fine as a secondary drive. It has been running for a month now with no problems at all.

This works very well! I bought this as a 2nd hdd and very good for the price!

Good mechanical hard disk drive. The solid-state ones are so much better, but they cost three times the mechanical ones. This particular HDD is fine, though. Reasonably priced.

I was on a budget so I could spend a whole Lotta money, this drive provided an excellent solution for a balance of speed and cost and capacity. I would probably buy another one in the future if I needed one. Or if I get rich I would love to get a 4 TB solid-state drive if they make those at some point!

Great replacement for my old computer. The computer now performs like new

I purchased a 2 TB SATA Harddrive for my security system receiver. The instructions for installation were easy to follow and my receiver backup system was up and running in less than 15 minutes.

High speed transfer rates. I used it to store my travel photographs.

This is the only hard drive I use.. does what it needs to do.

It works well for exactly what I needed it for, and the price wasn't too bad when I got it.

good drive , I use in dvrs and they last for a while . seem to be decent speed

It seems to be a good hard drive, but I sometimes wonder if I should have purchased additional memory dim to accompany it.

worked prefect for our son in law computer did the job it was supposed to

Excellent hard drive for the money and my need. I only needed a media storage hard drive for a home network. I don’t understand it for any games or intense editing.

i got this to replace a older WD blue that started to fail out after around 6 years of use this drive is better as its nto as old and this does have a bigger cache compared to the wd blue that it replaced which only had 64mb of cache

I purchased this drive to replace a failing drive in a small tower computer. I've found WD drives to be more reliable than many other manufacturers over the years. They are a cost effective way to replace and/or increase the amount of disk storage in computers used in the home that do not require super fast access speeds offered by SSD's.

This purchase is a good buy for the price. Convenient and easily accessed.

Gosh, it's a hard drive. Install in machine (Dell's use their plastic tray, so you have to get one of those if you need to), attach SATA data cable (some, like the Dell, require a right-angle connector so the case cover can be installed), install power cable (If you have an old power supply that uses MOLEX connectors you need an adapter), close the case and turn on the unit. Check the BIOS to make sure the SATA drive connection is turned on, and if the machine doesn't recognize the new HDD (say, if you installed this as an additional drive) then to to Computer Management (Right click 'computer' desktop icon, click 'manage', click 'disk management' and you can then tell the CPU to read this drive) There's a driver that installs automatically, and then the HDD works like a fully accessible HDD. No problemo. And being a Western Digital, should last a long time. All the above for a Win 7 refurbished machine.

Purchased to replace a failed external backup drive. Accepts 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives. Currently have one of each will be switching the 2.5 inch drive out for another 2TB 3.5 inch drive for a total of 4TB of backup and storage. Drives are easy swappable and have had zero errors or issues.
