If you need to replace a failed hard drive or need to add storage space to an existing machine, this drive is a great solution. Installation is a snap and these drives just work great out of the box. Couldn't be happier.

I recently put together a new system, so I wanted a drive to go along with it. I just hooked it up, partitioned, and formatted it, and installed the OS. Booted right up. If Iyou're running Windows, you can download the Acronis backup program "lite" version from the WDC website for free!

I had to replace a hard drive for a PC that crashed. This hard drive was on sale. I was glad I bough it, I had enough space to transfer my old data over to the new machine once I add the OS to this drive. Well worth it.

Good mechanical hard disk drive. The solid-state ones are so much better, but they cost three times the mechanical ones. This particular HDD is fine, though. Reasonably priced.

Would recommend this HDD, its actually pretty quick especially compared to SSDs

Although I am not a fan of WD drives, this hard drive performs flawlessly in an external USB multi-drive docking station. All that was required, after placing the drive in the docking station, was to implement a quick format and, since I am using Linux, then mount the drive. It's been working like a charm every since.

The Standard for hard drives. Have used them since WD was created.

Lightning fast and excellent memory space... great replacement for my older hard drive

Good performance in my NAS server. Streaming and backup activities. Solid so far.

It's solid performance and affordable. I needed it for my DVR.

Needed to increase storage due to increased record storage. This fit the bill perfectly with SATA connectors and the ability set up easily as an additional drive. Works great with my primary drive which is an SSD.

Simply good. Works and works for quite a while. Got 2 of em.

Wouldn't use for boot drive but makes a great storage drive for those large files you dont always need.

I purchased a 2 TB SATA Harddrive for my security system receiver. The instructions for installation were easy to follow and my receiver backup system was up and running in less than 15 minutes.

Excellent hard drive for the money and my need. I only needed a media storage hard drive for a home network. I don’t understand it for any games or intense editing.

It's a Beautiful Drive Connecting it and starting it inside me desktop computer is a matter of minutes. I will use this unit as a backup for all the important data I have in my computer. That includes documents, photos, videos and other work files. At first it seems fast and efficient.

I was on a budget so I could spend a whole Lotta money, this drive provided an excellent solution for a balance of speed and cost and capacity. I would probably buy another one in the future if I needed one. Or if I get rich I would love to get a 4 TB solid-state drive if they make those at some point!

I had never bought a WD drive before. My old drive had stopped working at all. I hooked it up and installed windows and have not looked back. This drive is great for replacing a broken drive or I imagine it would work fine as a secondary drive. It has been running for a month now with no problems at all.

Works perfectly, little big for my liking but gets the job done

good drive , I use in dvrs and they last for a while . seem to be decent speed
