Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently put together a new system, so I wanted a drive to go along with it. I just hooked it up, partitioned, and formatted it, and installed the OS. Booted right up. If Iyou're running Windows, you can download the Acronis backup program "lite" version from the WDC website for free!

Western Digital drives are reliable and hardy. It takes a lot of abuse, and it keeps on performing. This will be my 15th drive purchased and they all last a very long time with proper care and drive maintenance.

Although I am not a fan of WD drives, this hard drive performs flawlessly in an external USB multi-drive docking station. All that was required, after placing the drive in the docking station, was to implement a quick format and, since I am using Linux, then mount the drive. It's been working like a charm every since.

If you need to replace a failed hard drive or need to add storage space to an existing machine, this drive is a great solution. Installation is a snap and these drives just work great out of the box. Couldn't be happier.

I had to replace a hard drive for a PC that crashed. This hard drive was on sale. I was glad I bough it, I had enough space to transfer my old data over to the new machine once I add the OS to this drive. Well worth it.

It seems to be a good hard drive, but I sometimes wonder if I should have purchased additional memory dim to accompany it.

It's solid performance and affordable. I needed it for my DVR.

Good mechanical hard disk drive. The solid-state ones are so much better, but they cost three times the mechanical ones. This particular HDD is fine, though. Reasonably priced.

Needed to increase storage due to increased record storage. This fit the bill perfectly with SATA connectors and the ability set up easily as an additional drive. Works great with my primary drive which is an SSD.

I purchased a 2 TB SATA Harddrive for my security system receiver. The instructions for installation were easy to follow and my receiver backup system was up and running in less than 15 minutes.

This is a good hard drive and works well it is standard and easy to install

It's a Beautiful Drive Connecting it and starting it inside me desktop computer is a matter of minutes. I will use this unit as a backup for all the important data I have in my computer. That includes documents, photos, videos and other work files. At first it seems fast and efficient.

I was on a budget so I could spend a whole Lotta money, this drive provided an excellent solution for a balance of speed and cost and capacity. I would probably buy another one in the future if I needed one. Or if I get rich I would love to get a 4 TB solid-state drive if they make those at some point!

Lightning fast and excellent memory space... great replacement for my older hard drive

Would recommend this HDD, its actually pretty quick especially compared to SSDs

Good performance in my NAS server. Streaming and backup activities. Solid so far.

Wouldn't use for boot drive but makes a great storage drive for those large files you dont always need.

I had never bought a WD drive before. My old drive had stopped working at all. I hooked it up and installed windows and have not looked back. This drive is great for replacing a broken drive or I imagine it would work fine as a secondary drive. It has been running for a month now with no problems at all.

The Standard for hard drives. Have used them since WD was created.

Excellent hard drive for the money and my need. I only needed a media storage hard drive for a home network. I don’t understand it for any games or intense editing.
