Customer Ratings & Reviews

I need to purchase a new drive quickly, as my current drive was failing. I checked the Best Buy website for deals and of course, they had some. I went into my local store and bought it. The drive installed quickly and easily. Partioning the drive was a snap! The performance is quite decent and it runs prettt smooth and quiet. Great price for a 2TB HDD!

Reason for Purchase: Bought it because my only harddrive died, and I needed a brand new one to replace it. Review: What can you say in a review for a harddrive? It does what it's supposed to do, plain and simple. Nothing wrong with it. But I can say that structurally, physically-speaking, it was super easy to put into my computer. I have never done it before and it took one YouTube video the day before it came in the mail, and 2 minutes to put in and hook it up. I turned on the computer and changed a setting as it asked, the rebooted. I had no operating system, so it's just a blank drive. So I had Windows 10 Pro that I bought separately here, and put that in to boot from first, and after it installed, I did the F2 or DEL, and chose to boot from the WD harddrive. Then bam! Windows loaded, I went through the options and settings and the computer was resurrected! Thank God for YouTube and this drive!

Reliable Affordable Painless installation Excellent Warranty

This drive is cheap, reliable, and has lots of space. If that is what you're looking for, this is your drive.

New 2TB hard drive is much quieter than original and very pleased with low price and free install with our Geek Squad coverage. Going to try to keep my electronics purchases with Best Buy because of this.

Purchased to use as a replacement data drive for a system with an SSD as the primary drive. No issues installing. it did come with 4 mounting screws, which I find ironic, since it does NOT provide the SATA interface cable. For those who may be asking, this model did come with the Acronis cloning software.

While it's not a m.2... it's not far behind it...bought this for my son's cpu..he has m.2 for system operation but w.d blue is for games and runs pretty close to the m.2...i am very happy I saved the money and got this instead of a 2 tb m.2...

Was looking for WD Black but settled for this one, price was too good to pass, this is a replacement for my No 2 drive which is for music and photos .was running out of space. noticed some sluggish performance while editing raw photos, able to resolve it by reinstalling the software, still scratching my head about that, so far it is working better than the first time...anyways I would recommend it, for price and capacity, speed is fine for a 5400 rpm drive...

I installed this hard drive when I had a strange feeling that my very old storage drive was on the fritz. Just as easy to install as any other hard drive. Since then I've moved my files over and had no issues with it. Hopefully it keeps spinning for years to come, holding my 100s of gigs of photos.

My brother's PC needed a new hard drive for his upgrade to window 10 as he desired to save the information from his older windows 7 hard drive. Not only was the new WE hard drive superior to his older hard drive in capacity but it had increased speed with data. He is totally satisfied with the new hard drive.

I purchased this hard drive as a replacement for a pair of 500 GB Seagate drives that were failing. It runs a bit warmer than the old drives but is faster and is very quiet. Replacing those two old hard drives with this one also saves a bit of power and reduced the heat inside the case. Nice drive for the price.

Always good to have a trusty & proven a HDD to backup your SSD. Also helps to save room on your SSD with picture & video storage. The proven track record of HDD will always make you sleep well at night (my first HDD lasted 7 years under heavy use).

Needed a simple storage drive and this is exactly that. I didn't care about speed, but this is still a good drive regardless. I just wanted the storage space at a great price!

Fast for a non-SSD, and good price. Great for what it is. Doesn't come with a SATA cable though.

This drive is Easy to use even with minimal tech skills. Fast. Great price. What’s not to like!

WD makes good drives. Yes any man made electronic product can smoke one day. However WD has a good history which is why they have been around this long. I had to build a new server for someone. They had 2 new Western Digital 2TB drives in the equipment they provided. I needed an additional drive for a RAID 5 setup. Went to BB and they had the exact same drive. To be able to get a drive for less than $100 and create a RAID 5 storage for a PC or server. Fantastic!

Picked this bad boy up to have extra storage, can never have enough, especially when backing up filing cabinet and 1800 photos. the drive is very quiet, or maybe my GPU and 7 fans are just too loud lol

2TB for $50. That's all that needs to be said. The amount of value that this product has for the price is so high that I have purchased two of them. They're perfect for storing games (especially as game sizes have swelled to hundreds of gigabytes over the past few years) and other media like videos and movies. I would NOT recommend installing your operating system (e.g. Windows, Linux) on this or any other hard disk drive. Instead, you should purchase a solid state drive (SSD) for that purpose.

I had been waiting for the 2TB class of drives to drop in price a bit. I have an older WD Studio external FW drive that came with 750GB (which was large when I purchased the external in 2008). I picked up this WD 2TB to replace the still running 750. Installation was easy and the new 2TB is humming along. The drive's warranty is pretty standard at two years, but I'm hopeful it will keep running as long as the prior 750GB did, 6 years of intermittent use. Throughput is limited by the FW800 interface. I've had no issues with speed nor drive disconnects. This external case is hanging off a 2011 Mac Mini. Drive has three partitions, one of which is a boot partition I've been using for testing Yosemite. Overall, I'm happy with the drive, and the price from BB. I would recommend this drive to anyone looking for reasonable performance in a 3.5 SATA drive.

Easy to install. Speeded up the computer. More space for games.
