Exactly what we needed. Works great easy to install

Works as intended. Needed a drive to help expand storage in PC build. Working great so far.

Worked perfectly and easy to set up and use. Great memory backup.

works just fine....easy installation since I had what I needed

For the price, 2TB is a great amount of storage space. This was perfect for a recent build.

Replacement drive for a back up computer system very easy installation

will help make my grandsons computor work better makes him happy

Nothing bad about it. Does the job well. great run of the mill drive

Good hard dive for the price easy to install and remove I have several of western digital hard drives

Western Digital drives remain some of the best HDDs out there. This new Black drive has much faster read speed and very respectable write speed compared to other 7200rpm SATA drives I have used thus far. I also noticed that when I booted to win7 from it (I loaded a backup boot partition in case my SSD failed) the speed was impressive. No, not nearly as fast as my SSD but much faster than my backup WDSE and WDRed NAS drives which are also 7200RPM SATA3. I've had Seagate 7200 RPM SATA3 drives which are unreliable.

the real proof will be how many years this lasts. it was easy to install and works well so far.

I have a hard time with having free space on my laptop and this hard drive has made it easier for me to store my important information.

The hard drive works fine but I was hoping to see a faster access. I may go to a solid state drive the next time. But the standard hard drive is much less expensive so it is still a good choice.

Would have given this 5 stars...except for the following: 1) The drive is really their former "green" drives. Performance wise, it's just ok. There are other faster (7200 revs) brands for the same price. 2) Acronis cloning software and instructions are not accurate. If you're not tech savvy, you'll get frustrated and not get it to clone as the instructions stated. Simply placing the drive in your machine and using the software to clone it does not work! You need to remove the drive and place it in an external enclosure, then connect and boot using the Acronis bootable disk you have to create. Otherwise, the cloning process fails after wasting a ton of time! Almost could give this 3 stars just because of the software!

I tend to prefer WD hard drives... this one, like the rest of them, was easy to install... completely painless

So far, the replacement of a 2T harddrive for an aging 1T original HP harddrive is working satisfactory.

This hard drive is good for camera security system. I used it for night owl camera system.

Great hard drive at a great price. As usual best buy had a good price

Good , easy to install , a lil heavier than I thought but nothing too crazy

A great hard drive does things better. Happy with the purchase.
