Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Its been a good drive so far. Nice and quiet and doing its thing. I highly recommend it. Currently installed on a home security system dvr.

It is very quick and does exactly what I need it to do.

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.

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.

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.

I've never had an issue with Western Digital hard drives. I always use them, when I need them. This was an upgrade from a 1TB to a 2TB drive.

This drive was a replacement in a workstation. Glad it was available in store when I needed it. Its faster than the one it replaced.

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.

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.

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.

The easiest hard drive I ever installed. Smooth setup and good value.

My hard drive bit the dust and I found this one which has double the memory I had originally. The price was a lot more reasonable than I thought it would be.

2tb for a good price with a name I trust. Not much I can say besides it does its job and does it right.

Excellent he’s. Plug and play was great. Ran diagnostics and everything is in order

Great price. Excellent lots on additional storage. Highly recommend
