Bought this because I needed some extra storage in my gaming rig. Does it's job and gives you ample storage for cheap. But Ive ultimately ended up just buying a NVME SSD because my entire computer is completely silent but this hard drive is actually noticeably loud.

Installed in just minutes and my son was back to gaming the same day. I thought it was going to be a costly and long process, but it wasn’t either of those things. It was a great save!

Purchased to replace a failing primary HD in my tower. Easy to install, was able to move everything over. Runs quietly (unlike the failing drive)

Good product, easy to use, quiet and medium speed.

Very reliable. No issues, good speed, great for storage

It only took a few minutes to install the drive and it works great. I did have a small challenge getting my BIOS to recognize it initially, but managed to get through that after a couple of attempts (Dell Windows 8 desktop).

I am using this drive as data and video storage for a basic workstation. Drive was detected, configured the file system, and started using it. Just works

So far so good. I bought this hard drive to expand my internal storage capacity in my computer tower. Western Digital has been my go-to brand for anything hard-drive related. I've never experienced a poor product, and have yet to have a hard drive fail on me. You can never go wrong buying a hard drive from WD. My best advice is to always buy a larger capacity than you think you might need. With 1+ TB drives being so common and so cheap these days, it's best to catch one of these multi-terabyte drives on sale and save yourself a headache in the future.

I've said it before and i will say it again! WD is the best! Installed this drive in my pc with no issues and i'm looking to get another very soon!

Drive works perfectly, no problems. I was able to load Windows XP then I changed to Windows 10 without any problems. Drive works excellent.

WD hard drives have been proven to be top notch in their field. The 2G HD has not disappointed. It is very quiet and very reliable. I wouldn't purchase any other brand. You can't go wrong with this product.

Needed a new internal to complete a build using my stock of salvaged parts. This was the perfect size for what I needed, and went in without a hitch. Quiet, fast, and plenty of space as an OS drive.

Works great so far. Seems like I’m always replacing some other brand hard drive with a Western Digital drive. Good price and easy to set up.

Great replacement for my old computer. The computer now performs like new

its what you expect it to be. easy to install and works fine

Good product. Great for backing up data and files.

Seems to be doing great. Installed it as additional storage in my Lenovo LOQ desktop. It installed easily in the case easily. It took me a bit to find out how to properly initialize it but it seems to be functioning well. Dropping and retrieving files is easily done.

This internal hard drive has a large capacity, installs easily and gets you up and running quickly. I purchased this drive as a second internal hard drive. It is fast and more than adequate

Yes, its an older form factor, and likely a bit on the slower side, and of course its more sensitive to shock or strong magnetic fields than anything solid-state...but its still 2TB for under $60. Thats a lot of cat videos...or whatever it is that you're downloading.

I've had this HDD for about a month and I haven't had any problems with usage. Don't expect blazing fast speeds from this one. However, it's primary function is to store large files and backups, as well as photos and videos. All I can say is that it works... I also have a few games stored on here and the only difference between this HDD and a NVMe SSD is the loading times. It's still faster than a PS4 HDD though. It's too early to judge the long term reliability, but I really hope it doesn't die on me for at least another 5 years.
