    I was disappointed with the noise and speed of this drive. I switched it out and went with a SSD.

    It is the loudest I have ever had. After 20 days, I installed it internally on a new PC for storage. Sounds like an 8-year-old PC, I think that very soon I will take it out for garbage ... If what I mentioned before does not bother you, it does the job.

    Nothing wrong with the drives but I returned them when I found a better deal with more storage capacity.

    Western Digital For Back UP

    Geek Squad was supposed to have backed up Data before installing old drives into new Windows 10 Machine. They did not back up Data as asked & lost a good deal of our data. Embarrassed they will not return phone calls or respond to the recovery of this loss. When we received the Western Digital Drive at pick up it was empty! It has been about a week and still have not heard back from them. They are waiting for time to run out we believe to relieve them of their responsibility . Geek Squad seems to prove to be a bad investment! Very Nice Folks but Poor Service! Don't care so much about the review points but really want to WARN other customers of this situation and it would be nice if Best Buy would contact and remedy this issue!

    I dont at all recall having caused this but that sata connector terminals were damaged somehow beyond repair. Either they need to be more durable or be easier to repair with parts that are available.

    Failed to load operating system

    I got this as a replacement for a dying hard drive in my Windows 7 computer. The BIOS recognized it just fine. The OS on the CDROM failed to load on it. I tried a lot of things to get around it, and I can think of a couple more that I might try, but so far nothing worked. And, while I was trying, I burned the 15-day return period. Today I went to Best Buy to see if they could help. The GeekSquad wanted $100 to load the OS (even though I had my own OS source disks there, so it wasn't that I needed to buy the OS). Note that I spent less than $100 for the disk itself. And they wouldn't exchange the disk, because it has been more than 15 days. So I'm not a happy camper thinking about Best Buy at the moment. The problem may or may not be a faulty disk, but I'm getting no help from them; they're not standing behind the product.
