    Western Digital 2TB Internal SATA

    I'm an old timer. I used to buy WD HDDs when they were still in the MBs. It's amazing technology has progressed so fast that you can store TBs of data on something so small. Brand loyalty is not lost on this device, as I'll probably always choose a Western Digital over others. Excellent value!

    I bought this to replace another internal drive that was dying rapidly. The drive was fairly easy to install, and I had no problem installing a new version of Windows. I was able to transfer all of my pertinent data from the old drive before it died completely, so the hard drive was well worth the money. 2tb is a lot of storage space, and I recommend it to anyone who wants a large internal hard drive.

    This is the recommended replacement drive for my security system and was easy to install and is able to handle the 16 cameras around my home. It has no trouble recording all the video from each camera and reviewing times or events has been easy. My original drive failed after eight years, I'm hoping this one does as well.

    I wanted to buy another solid state drive, but didn't really want to spend the extra right now knowing that I will be buying a new computer in about a year so went with this. So far so good! Faster than I thought it would be considering the speed of a SSD. Love the space it has and for home use, I'm happy with it.

    Excellent drive - needed Geek help to work

    Bought the drive and installed it myself. No problem. Getting it to work with the software provided turned out to be a bit harder. Probably just me. I've never been the sharpest tool in the shed, but finally used Geek support (which I had already purchased a year's worth). They had a bit of a problem too, or at least it appeared they did. Once it was running it has been working without a flaw.

    2 TB HD for one in need

    Some one once said 500 GB's will be plenty, then it's 1Tb is enough. Now with so much you can run with your computer and stream it's hard to think one can fill up 2 TB. The 2 TB WD was easy to install and with the program I downloaded from the WD site made it easy to clone. One thing to remember is get the program from the WD site and it will make the cloning process very easy.

    This hard drive is easy to install. Once your operating system is installed the speed of the drive is faster than my old drive was by far. My only complaint is that a free product was supposed to have been included with this purchase and it was not included when I picked up the drive.

    I needed more storage in my computer, so I picked this up. It is fast and have had no issues and had no issues installing the drive. I have another one on the way because of the quality of the drive.

    I have an older machine, It was a top end Vista Machine and still works great. 3000+ Athelon 64 X2, and I needed more room to upgrade to Windows 10 pro. I migrated to the new drive with a drive manager program made by Paragon very effortlessly, and upgraded to Windows 10 effortlessly, and now have tons of extra room, and a three year warrantee on the drive.

    This is a review of my overall experience of Western Digital drives. In the late 1990s I bought my first large at the time hard drive a Western Digital 6.4gb drive for roughly $200. It was amazing, I was able to backup all my floppy disks onto one drive and access all my files without switching disks around. (this was back in the day where we mostly still kept all our stuff on floppy disks) BTW, i still have that 6.4gb drive in an external enclosure tucked away in a file cabinet and last time i checked it still works over 20 years later. Over the years i have bought many drives from all the major manufactures and had a few fail but for the most part i have been happy with every Western Digital drive i've owned. My latest purchase of this 2tb drive from Best Buy was a no brainer, it was on sale and i had best buy rewards. i've never walked out a store with a new drive for less so i was very happy with my purchase.

    I've only had it a month, but it seems speedy, it has 2 TB, and it stores my games just fine. Can't ask for much more, will update if it has any issues! Just one FYI--make sure you have an extra SATA cable on hand, I had a brain hiccup & figured one would come in the box. (Spoiler--it doesn't)

    I have bought over 100 western digital drives over the years and they have always been reliable. I have had a few that had to be replaced under warranty, but was always replaced in a timely manner, and sometimes with larger capacity drives. I have several western digital drive that have been running nearly 24/7 for over 8 years.

    Great Backup/Storage Drive

    I bought this drive to serve as a backup drive when i moved to a new job. I wanted to take all my old files with me and used this drive as a storage drive. It is not going to be the speediest drive (even compared to other conventional hard drives) for everyday tasks but for backups and such this drive will work great and at a good price!
