Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was very easy to install. It accesses data very quickly.

Still working with uploading info -slow but steady

I bought this Western Digital hard drive, brought it home and started to transfer my video footage to it and found out that it just stopped in the middle of the process. I tried it a couple more times and it failed again. I took it back to BB and exchanged it for another drive. It seemed fine but then it started to fail at random times again. Ugh. This will be going back again. I have bought many drives and this is the first time I have ever had a major issue. I have had good luck with Seagate in the past. Western Digital doesn’t seem as reliable.

the employee game me the wrong size on accident...

5400 rpm too slow and returning for a 7200 rpm or sad . Note rom was not listed on box was not listed on box . Had to research later. Good if you don’t need or want fast disk access

If you want the best read/write speed, get a WD Black

I took it back and bought the Black version instead. The Black version costs twice as much but it comes with a longer warranty and the price will be worth it if it lasts twice as long and protects by files.

Hard drive had hardware needed and worked as expected.

Very nice value a great way to expand my hard drive space

I bought this drive to replace a crashed HDD of another brand. I was not impressed at all with the performance of this drive. I admit I should have done more research, but the local Best Buy only had 2 brands to choose from at this capacity and since the other drive failed within a year, I thought I would give this one a try. If Best Buy is going to stock this brand of drive, they should look at the color coding and provide options for higher performance drives.

For me, WD Blues are the most reliable hdds you can buy. Reliable and good warranty

Fit into what I had and was up running in no time at all...satisfied with the product

My new Western Digital hard drive has performed flawlessly. It was easy to hook up to my back-up drive and download my archive files.

The HD is ok. It is loud and clunky. But it has withstood about 15 reformatting sessions and is in a pretty hostile environment. I would recommend it if you are on a budget. If you are looking for performance think about a SSD

Just an average HDD. Not much else to say, although the performance of this particular 5400rpm drive seems lower than other 5400rpm drives in its price-range.

awesome addition to my home pc. Very much needed space for gaming.

The Hard Drive was easy to install and setup. And is as advertised

I purchased for DVR but the first had an error within 24 hours. So far the 2nd one has been doing well but I would not use again

Good product and value. Perfect for home use. Ample storage.

My original hard drive of 7 years was starting to fail. Bought the new hard drive and did a total restore of programs. Tale new drive had a total failure in five weeks. Went with a 2TB Seagate for replacement as a WD 2TB was not available on short notice. Reinstall took a little longer this time, because backup was 5 weeks old and 2 major windows 10 updates. Oh well this is the life of hard drive. I will contact WD to see if it is a warranty item.
