easy to install but it didnt come with a sata cable to you have to buy it seperate

until SSDs come down in price people are still using HDDs as game drives... 2TB is kind of the standard but 4-10 is better... I bought the 2TB as this was going inside a travel rig for a TU150... fits great on top and because of the case its hidden from sight...

Have used Western Data hard drives for a number of years, and they have been dependable hard drives. This one was purchased to replace a really, really old hard drive in my current main desktop system. Expect to get lots of use from this hard drive -- like I have always gotten from WD before.

Perfect!! Like 10000000000000000000000000000000000%

Was easy to install and setup. Its quiet and fast. Just what I needed.

Great hard drive. I’m using it with an external USB 3.0 drive housing and it works great. Easy set up quick format drive works flawless. I would highly recommend this product for those that are looking for an economical drive that does the job.

To clear up some of Best Buy's confusing naming scheme, these are Western Digital Green hard drives. I'm not sure why they renamed them as "performance", etc but the label on the hard drive itself shows it's a green. I'm using this in a Synology NAS so I wish I had known it was a Green but it seems to be working well. The price was right for the amount of space.

My hard drive crashed and bought this as a replacement back in July of 2014. So far so good. Swapped out the drive, re-installed operating system from back up DVDs' and my computer was up and running quickly. Basically plug and play. Hopefully this one will outlast my HP original, which lasted only long enough for it to be a few weeks out of warranty.

It works. That's what I bought it for. Nothing extra fantastic or magical, it just works as it should.

Installation saved me the cost of purchasing a new computer. Was a good option and will hopefully get me a to least one more year from dated machine.

My old storage HDD just decided one day to just die. I considered getting an external drive, but if you can get a drive like this on sale I say go for it. Less cables, and now when it fills up I may buy another with a bigger size.

Using for backup drive. Installation was easy and it worked out of the box - both of which I would have expected. Was lead to believe that the drive was higher performance, but it is a rebranded WD green drive. As it's a backup drive, I'm less concerned than if it were my primary drive.

Easily installed and great hard drive for the price.

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!

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.

Exactly what I needed - good price point, had to wait one day, everything local was 99 for 1GB or less. Worth the day wait.

This Hard Drive mounted in my Dell computer 3020 perfectly and seems to be just what it was reported to be. Great purchase.

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.

WDs blue drives are always my go-to for day to day HDD needs. In this case, the data drive in my desktop kicked the bucket and the WD blue got me back up and running the same day. Great performer and reliable.

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.
