Customer Ratings & Reviews

On sale, this was a good byte-to-cost buy. At 2 terabytes, recognized without a problem in Windows 7 with a legacy bios (not a UEFI). Reasonably quiet and fast read/write with 6 GB connection, despite 5400 RPM spin speed. Not thrilled with the included WD backup software as the it only installs on Windows drive and I like to keep mine (an SSD) small. Probably a backup safety feature but I like choosing where I install programs. For backup, I use SyncBack Pro anyway as I like control over syncing files and find full, differential, and incremental backups messy. But for most users, I would imagine the WD software is fine. Spacious and easy to install, with the WD name, this is a good choice.

I think you have great products and services. My computer is a little out dated but your geek squad was able to find parts to install to keep my computer working properly. The staff really know their stuff when it comes to electronics. Thank you.

Easy install and great price for a middle of the road HDD. My PC went from non functional to better than it's been in over a yesr.

2TB drive, installs quickly, does exactly what it is supposed to do. Caught it on sale, was very happy with the price. Everything works as advertised.

This internal hard drive has a large capacity, installs easily and gets you up and running quickly. I purchased this drive as a second internal hard drive. It is fast and more than adequate

Want a great price to performance hard drive for mass storage? This is your best option. Plain and simple. Easy installation and no hassle adding it to my system for more storage.

Great capacity a real value speed is fine with ease of setup

Picked this up as an internal backup drive for our desktop computer. As a backup, it works great. Plenty of room for our needs and extremely easy to install. As far as I know, this is a 5400rpm drive so I wouldn't recommend it as as OS boot drive, but using it as a backup or extra storage drive works out great.

Worked Great, Install was easy loaded recovery disc no problem computer still operational will use till it dies all the new stuff leaving out DVD Recorders and CD Roms

very happy with it and very easy to install now i have plenty of space

Great storage, speeds for the price, I download all my games on this and it works great.

I bought 2 of these, this seems to be a pattern for me. I tend to replace both drives in my server at the same time. This allows me to know my data is secure. This is the low end drive. As I was standing there looking at my choices 2 different store reps asked what I was going to do with them. As soon as I said I was putting them in a server that would be on 24/7 they both, independently, told me I should get this drive. Lower heat, less head parking, and overall longer life. Since speed was not an issue, this drive was the way to go. So far they have been perfect.

Purchased to replace a failing drive. Price was good for the capacity. So far the drive is working well. Hopefully it will last for a while. Last one worked for 3 years.

Works great, easy install. Great hard drive for the money. Worked well with Microsoft Windows. I recommend this drive for anyone who is looking to update their desktop computer.

I was in the market for a new hard drive to replace a 1TB Western Digital Blue internal hard drive I use to store documents and media (pictures, music, videos) because I wanted more storage capacity and my current drive is 10 years old and has almost 16,000 hours of run time on it (the drive still works fine)

This is an excellent large capacity storage device. Stable and faster than previous generations at the same rpms, this drive has very little in the the way of negatives, but if negatives are the reason you are reading this review, then here is one. The WD 2TB hard drive is a little loud spinning up and can ruin an otherwise silent computer system. Otherwise, it does exactly what it was meant to do and save data properly.

Great capacity for my desktop and it was really easy to replace and upgrade my desktop computer. Excellent Hard Drive

Great 2TB worth of storage with fast retrival and reliable.

I purchased the 2TB model and it performs just as well as I thought it would. While it's only 5400 RPM, this 3-platter drive is almost 50% faster than the 2-platter 620GB 7200RPM drive that came with my computer due to the greatly increased capacity per platter (1TB @ 5400RPM > 320GB @ 7200RPM), so I'm very happy. This drive is a great value and, if speed is what you're after, pick up an SSD for your OS and applications, and put your user profile on a drive like this one (set up a junction point if you're a Windows user). All in all, it's a good purchase for the right purpose.

Good price, fast. Installs easy, cables attach easy. Works for osx, windows, linux. Just format and go.
