    Needed a small internal HD for an older DVR. Was happy to find they are still available at BB. I was able to get the system back up and running in not time.

    Computer is still running. I pick up my system, and it is still running. Before, I could not get it to the login page.

    Correction on Best Buy specs -- this is a 5400 RPM drive and not faster as posted in sales data. This is an HD working class drive and does a lot of storage at 2 TB at a reasonable speed. For everyday use. Recommended.

    I needed to replace and upgrade my desktop computer hard drive. I cloned my drive with the easy to use WD software provided on line and doubled my hard drive size. This drive was a great price and in a short time greatly extended my computers life.

    My old PC had 750 Gig of memory, which back in 2008 was a ton!!! I bought TWO of these 2T babies, which for now seems like plenty, but I am sure that I will be needing a lot more in the future. Fortunately my new case has plenty of slots for more drives.

    The Western Digital HDD is the perfect size for storage of my music, videos, and photos. It's the perfect choice for a second drive in a desktop. Easy to install with Windows 10. The drive shows up in CMOS and is ready to format in Windows.

    Really great drive, got this on sale for under 40 bucks ... with how cheap regular hard drives are these days it doesnt make sense to skip out on a backup one.

    I bought this 2TB drive (at a great sale price) to put into an enclosure I had already purchased. It fit like a glove and works great! Now I have tons of room for my next big game or whatever else I need. Couldn't be happier! :-)

    Installation and setup was extremely simple, and now we have lots of storage for video editing projects, photo albums, etc... I was surprised at how quickly one TB could fill up when you do a lot of video editing and video projects.

    WD - always the way to go

    I've always used WD drives because they're the best in my opinion. Like most everything these days, it doesn't come with much paper documentation. Although If you're buying a hard drive I guess you most likely already know what you're doing.

    I purchased this as a storage drive and it's perfect. Quiet and a good amount of storage for the price. If you plan on storing games, I'd probably use a WD blue or black vs the green but if it's just storage you're looking for, this is perfect.

    This is a good drive in terms of longevity and its slower speed appears to mean it is rated to last longer, but its not as fast of a drive as other 2tb drives on the site, Its not done a bad job at all as my secondary drive but mine is nearly full as of right now, and will probably need to be replaced with a bigger size.

    My old hard drive was very slow. I took it to the Geek Squad, they said it needed replacing. The new hard drive is very fast. I cannot find the information that was "transferred." But the New Hard Drive is lightening fast.
