Customer Ratings & Reviews

My son needed a hard drive for his gaming desktop. When he asked me to get a Western Digital, I didn’t even hesitate to order it and do a curbside pickup on the same day. It didn’t take him long to install and get his desktop going. I’ve had WD hard drives many moons ago and they’ve never failed me.

I am very happy with the WD 2TB internal drive. It is very quiet and extremely fast.

Uaing this to store games, runs fast even in 2023. Small load times but not even noticeable. Dont expect blazing fast nvme speeds, but also wont guve you super sluggish speeds either.

As soon as I gave them my name at curbside the attendant was back with my order within a couple of minutes. As it was raining, and the attendant not wanting me to roll down my window and getting wet, he motioned for me to open the trunk and I did. I stayed dry and all ended well. One very satisfactory experience

Needed to copy some files from a failing drive and this was just the ticket. ordered it online and drove to the store, gave them my order number and the associate came right out with it. I chose the WD drive because I've used them for years and have always had good luck with them, and, I am hard on hard drives. :)

Western Digital has been in the computer industry from the very early years. This drive continues in their tradition. I am using it as a system back-up for my new desktop - I have an external drive docking station and make a backup each week. This drive is perfect for the job. WD is a good choice for your hard drive needs.

I was migrating physical disks files from NAS servers , easiest way was to use this in place to hold the data until the NAS drive was put in place.

Both my Dell desktops were just under 2 years old and both of them had their hard drives go out within a few weeks of each other. If course Dell wouldn't help me. Did some research and found out that I wasn't the only one that has had the same problem with these Dell hard drives. I love this hard drive. I got 2 of them. Super easy to install and was up and running in no time at all.

If you must be a cheapskate like some folks, and skip on the SSD drive version, then this is a decent drive to fall back on. I usually get these for people who don't care a ton about performance and just want to get their system back up and running on a budget. Western Digital (WD) has been making these drives for decades. Consider it the Chevy of hard drives. It'll get the job done, you just won't draw any attention while doing it.

Fast, quiet, easy to install. gets the job done. Probably will get another.

The hard drive in my computer apparently was in imminent danger of failing. I bought this hard drive to replace the failing drive. I was able to clone the old drive to this new one with surprising ease. When I booted up after installing this new one, it was like nothing had even tried to go wrong. Except for one extra reboot to install new drivers, you couldn't tell that anything had changed.

Bought this to get more space on my new computer I'm building and for anyone that uses a lot of space and doesn't need their files instantly loaded or doesn't mind waiting a second or two for a search, this is a great option compared to an expensive SSD. Completely worth the money.

Our hard drive was starting to fail so we purchased this unit as a replacement. Better to replace sooner rather than later when data and files are still recoverable. We find the access speed for this new hard drive is fast, no lag when opening files. We are still running Windows 7 with Office 2016. Overall a very good hard drive for the money.

This item is cheaper ($ per byte) than other WD sizes options because it is SMR. The package did not specify this so please be aware. I don't know if others were PMR. Not recommended if you are a heavy disk user or building RAID. Should be fine if just for secondary space together with a SSD.

I bought this as a replacement for another hard drive that will gasping at its last few breaths of life. I was able to copy the necessary files to this hard drive and be on my way. I have used only Western Digital hard drives over the past many eons and have rarely had any trouble unless they were just very old and worn out. I would definitely recommend this drive to everyone.

Bought it to replace a ps4 hard drive. Way to install. Fast. Does the job.

Good quality easy to manage and friendly to use i recommend

Easy to install reasonably priced. Using in a nas drive! No issues in over a month.

Very easy to install and use. Great basic Hard Drive with lots of space for the price

I was getting indications that my 1TB drive was having problems during tests, so I decided to change it before it died. Bought the WD 2TB at a good price. Restored from Acronis backup and took off. It seems to be faster than my 1tb and has no problems. But it is quite a bit more noisy than the Seagate 1TB that came in my Dell. Actually, I can hear the drive working now when before I had to lean my head over and look at the tiny activity light that is on the front panel of the Dell. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the actuator noise. Otherwise it works fine.
