Customer Ratings & Reviews

Using the Western Digital Blue 3.5" 2TB HDD as backup with a external USB docking station. Has great speed and works seamlessly. Vast storage space for the cost.

This is a great Value for the price. I have it in a built gaming computer works great.

I use this for a home NAS server and it works very well. Drives have been working for a year straight with no problem. Works great with true nas and its a good price. No complaints and solid performance.

I already have had one like this for one year now and it has been great no problems so I decided to get another one and couldn't be any more satisfied for the price and the memory/speed it gives well worth it

This is awesome. My HP Victus only came with a 500?GB SSI some this 2 TB Western Digital HD really helped my to enjoy gaming and internet Surfing. Thanks BestBuy.

Have a number storage drives, external and internal, most of them are WD. It never disappointed me.

The price was right and the drive still is going strong, what more can I want out of my purchase?

good for for my simple routine work so far for this senior citizen not quite computer savvy.

works exactly as intened havent hard any issues at all

Needed it after a HDD failure in an older desktop so shop wouldn't upcharge me to replace it. Can't tell much so far except that it works at the same level as the old one.

The WD - Blue 2TB Internal SATA Hard Drive for Desktops is a great drive to add to your Desktop computer or to put in an external drive case, once you get one you'll probably buy more.

Purchased this hard drive to replace the one in my Samsung surveillance camera system. Works like a champ and very quiet.

This 2TB hardrive, WD20EZRZ, is $65.99 online. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-blue-2tb-internal-sata-hard-drive-for-desktops/5638716.p?skuId=5638716 The same drive in the store was $79.99. They gave me $5.00 off but would not honor their own price.

This is my third 2TB green drive (which the "mainstream" drives are, once you take them out of the box) and all of them have been phenomenal. After suffering through multiple failures from other brands, I've made it a point to only buy WD drives when I'm purchasing for myself (to clarify, I mean that when work buys me drives, I can't help if they buy me a Seagate that fails in a year, but if I have a say in the purchase, I only buy WD.) I bought this drive to go into an external enclosure that won't support any sizes higher than 2TB, so I was limited on my size choices. Unusually, the store did not have any of these on the shelf - plenty in the back, just none on the shelf - so I had to find a salesman to help me track them down. I have one of these drives as a primary on my home media server as well and it performs flawlessly. The drive itself is about 3-4 years old and it's not so much as hiccuped. I can have 4-5 simultaneous streams running off the server and it never has an issue. Bottom line: if you're in the market to get a hard drive, you can't go wrong with Western Digital. If you need a drive for storage or streaming, and heat/noise are concerns for you, or simply cost, this drive is a great option.

My computer recently crashed and since I couldn't recover the drive, I still needed to recover data. So I needed a new system boot hard drive. This one is solid top to bottom. Good brand, WD, good price, good capacity size. I was up and running the same evening, so it's dead simple to install and use. Great product.

Bought this because we need to consolidate some other hard drives, and you can never have too much space. This hard drive was priced well, easy to install in our desktop PC, and performs great so far.

This Western Digital Mainstream 2TB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive is a very useful product that I have been using it for my desktop at home for years. Powered up immediately for the new install of windows 10 with plenty of storage left to input data - quiet and quick! Got a great deal on it when I bought it. Now I have 2 of the same size in my tower aside from 3 external hard drives (I shoot a lot of videos, pictures plus capture audio hence the huge amount of storage needed). Would buy another one at the drop of a hat! When I am choosing hard Drive Western Digital brand is a very reliable name I would like to choose. Thank you WD!

I bought this drive to replace my failing 1TB in my 4 year-old PC. Installed easily and copied everything over, and then easy to swap to primary drive. Quiet and fast, and a great price for twice the space.

I’ve been using Western Digital drives for a long, long time. Western Digital creates drives in a number of price and quality ranges. Most of the time these drives are color-coded with blue, red, black, and so on, to show which range they are in. Maybe they thought this was too confusing for some consumers, so you can also find the exact same units with branding such as Mainstream. When my son’s main hard drive began failing, we promptly ordered him a replacement blue 2TB hard drive. It comes with this Mainstream branding on it, but when you look at the specs you can see it’s a blue WD drive. In the overall scope of Western Digital drives, blue is the home-use variety. It’s certainly reliable – we have many of our home systems with blue drives in them which have been going strong for years and years. On the other hand, blue is cheaper than the high-end drives used in mission critical banking applications. We just don’t need that kind of speed. Installation is a breeze. Rather than risk dealing with corrupted data, we completely pulled the old drive out of my son’s system and put this new one in. We did a wholly fresh install of Windows on the new drive. Then we put the old drive into an external docking station and moved the data off that old drive and onto a new external drive. That way my son could poke through the old drive’s data at his leisure, safely, and get off any data files he might need. Plus now he would also have an external drive to use for backup purposes going forward. He’s been using this new drive for nearly a month now and it’s working like a charm. I would expect no less. I have one of my own systems that has a Western Digital drive in it that’s in heavy use, now ten years old, and it just began developing bad sectors recently. So they are definitely workhorses. Well recommended. The one we got for this situation was the 2TB model. It has a 64MB cache buffer and a standard SATA interface.
