Once I got my computer to recognize the new drive, it was easy to use. I have it installed externally using a USB adapter and I use it to store large video files. It works flawlessly and I couldn’t be happier. Maybe I’ll get a 4TB drive next to store all my digital photos.

Easily installed and great hard drive for the price.

My son's hard drive died so I bought this one to replace it. The dead one was also Western Digital with a rather shocking eight years of heavy service. I have high expectations for this drive. Overall so far, the performance has met my expectations.

My hard drive failed. And I thought it only happened to other people. It was no problem at all swapping out hard drives, and what the heck, install Windows 10 since it's free. I was up and running in a couple of hours. I felt it was a good price for 2 TBs. And man, am I glad I bought those external hard drives a while ago from Best Buy!

I was in the process of purchasing a new storage array, and I needed to purchase a bunch of drives to put into the array and I found these drives for a really great price at Best Buy. Last set of drives are over 11 years old, and I'm hoping to get at least 11 years on these drives as well.

Good reliable drive, with plenty of room for My storage needs. I have always depended on WD drives over the years and have never had an in warranty failure. These now sell for far less than they did years ago.

This has been a great deal for saving all of our photos. We had a hard drive crash and with a lot of luck and the help of a friend we were able to retrieve our photo. That woke us up so we decided we need a back system to insure we never loose the photos of our grandchildren and or our vacations.

Fantastic hard drive it's a WD what do you expect.

I have a Windows 8.1 Computer. One it it just froze. Nothing worked. I tried ctl, alt, delete, pulling plugs, reboots - nothing. I was told my hard drive died. I now have a beautiful Windows 10 which is significantly faster and cleaner.

Easy to install and configure. Inexpensive extra storage

This hard drive was purchased to replace a Seagate HD in my Seagate NAS. Installed and work great. The drive is quiet and it doesn't seem slower even though it is a 5400 RPM drive vs the 7200 RPM drive that it replaced since the choke point would be the network connection. I would recommend this drive for any NAS solution.

This hard drive is very good, I bought them for a TrueNas server and haven't had a problem yet. The read write speeds are really good for the RPM of these. Also I bought these for $45 for 2TB so cant complain about price either

Best buy was the only store that had a 2 terabite available in my area. And for an amazing price.

Back in the day is was all about Seagate and avoid Western Digital. But over the last several years Western Digital has picked up their game and they make good solid drives. Seagate has gone to crap. I've actually purchased this item a few times and am very happy with the performance and life span.

Hard drives are good for mass storage. Although slow compared to 2.5 or m.2 SSDs, they make up for it in their ability to storage a lot of data.

Very easy to set up and great speed an gives me more capacity.

its what i needed it!!! now i have all the space necessary to be able to download all my games and don't worry about the space anymore

I am never going to quite understand on why hard drives have such a large amount of unseen data. for example on this 2tb drive i get 1.7 something but its not a huge problem for me its just crazy how the bigger the hard drive the less they care how much data you get. The hard drive is cheap nice and ready to go out the box, cant complain!!

a easy upgrade and great price. replaced a 1tb hard drive.

Hard drive works great! easy to install and format!
