Needed larger capacity hard disk for back up storage of my photos. I have always had good luck with Western Digital hard disks and this one seems to provide good service. Value was great. Easy to install as a standalone back up drive.

I don't know how Best Buy has better pricing than their online competitors, but this was the best price hard drive I found, easy to install and is a great value for the amount of storage you get. I don't do gaming, but it seems snappier than the original hard drive my dell computer came with.

Bought this for a Batocera install on an old machine. Easy to set up and load. Excellent price for the amount of space you get. My only complaint is that it did not come with extra mounting wheels, but the concern here is minimal. Will buy again when I start working on my next retro build.

Had to get a new hard drive to replace crashed hard drive. Got hard drive installed and running in about 10 minutes. Very easy installation, everything needed for installation came with the hard drive. If you are looking for an inexpensive, high-capacity hard drive at agreat price, this is it!

I lost a storage drive for my photos and needed to replace it. I purchased a WD drive because I have had great success with their products and they are reliable. Well this one is another home run. Works great, easy to install, fast and reliable.

Great if you need some extra storage space.
WD is one of the top 3 or 4 HDD manufacturers, and I have never had a WD drive fail on me in the 8 or so years I have been using them, and this drive is no exception.
As a general rule of thumb (that this HDD follows as well) This is great for storing slower paced single player games, but if you're interested in storing some fast paced multi player games that you want to load quickly, it would be better to go for a WD black drive or an SSD.

This hard drive is working well for what I am using for. I am using it with an external enclosure to backup documents, pictures, and other files off of my PC. I've always had great service from Western Digital hard drives and I expect the same from this one. I can't remember any of my Western Digital drives failing.

This hard drive is working great, no problems. The original hard drive was loaded with windows 10 and received the dreaded blue screen. Had geek squad change out to the new hard drive loaded with windows 11 and it was a lot cheaper than purchasing a new CPU.

I've always trusted WD when it comes to storage and performance. I was running out of space in my desktops HDD so decided to pick this one up for extra space. Works great and easy to install. Should last me quite a while.

This drive works perfectly in my older Dell T110, It was used to increase the storage capacity for running Xilinx software on Virtual Machines . So far so good.

Had another brand drive fail after two years. So needed a replacement. Been using WD brand many years. I still have a 205BA in service every day. So this was a no brainier. Love having all the space. Very good price from BB.

WD drives prices are usually lower in price than competitions and You get more drive capacity compared to others at the same price.
And again they are pretty reliable.
Am currently using the 2TB WD20EZRZ SATA/64MB Cache

On sale, this was a good byte-to-cost buy. At 2 terabytes, recognized without a problem in Windows 7 with a legacy bios (not a UEFI). Reasonably quiet and fast read/write with 6 GB connection, despite 5400 RPM spin speed. Not thrilled with the included WD backup software as the it only installs on Windows drive and I like to keep mine (an SSD) small. Probably a backup safety feature but I like choosing where I install programs. For backup, I use SyncBack Pro anyway as I like control over syncing files and find full, differential, and incremental backups messy. But for most users, I would imagine the WD software is fine. Spacious and easy to install, with the WD name, this is a good choice.
