Customer Ratings & Reviews

Added drive to two computers and have had good results with both. Easy to Format and use and added significant storage to them for good price.

Easy install, lots of storage, works great! And I love the prive as well!

Get for storing digital movies and other large files. It’s been years since I installed my own hardware. Super easy to install. Don’t forget to buy a cable to connect to motherboard.

ok well to be fair in no way is this drive BAD ...but it's just ...so .... close ... to being prefect. for less than $100 a 4tb drive is a killer deal, but for anyone serious about REAL DATA STORAGE is gonna buy 3 for at least some level of redundancy, and for the same $300 to get 12tb -parity drive 8tb total. you can buy 2 8tb segate drives for $150 each ,even if you still have 1 parity drive you get the same 300$ to 8tb ratio. in summary its a good hard drive but i wouldn't personally buy more than 3 if your gonna spend $300 on drives get 34tb or 2 8tb.

WD hard drives are great. They are reliable, easy to install, and even easier to use once installed. It's a quick way to increase your internal PC storage.

Great drive to use for tons of games. I actually have 2x 4TB in Raid 0 for a combined 8TB with faster performance. Matched with my 2TB NVME my system is always ready for action. Please note if you are using the drive to save or backup your personal files then I do not recommend using Raid 0 since there can be a chance of data loss.

This drive is great for what it is. Cheap [hopefully reliable] storage. I purchased this drive to consolidate 5 other hard drives (external and internal) and had no issues getting everything I wanted loaded on it. I regularly back-up and retire my hard drives about once every 3 to 5 years. I've had 10 Western Digital hard drives over the years and zero failures. I wouldn't want a drive like this (5400 RPM, 2 year warranty) for everyday use, constantly saving and loading - but just to fill it up and have it available for reading of individual files I have every confidence that it will exceed its 2 year warranty (lifespan). As the review summary indicates, the spec's on BestBuy.com state this drive is "color category: Black" which is misleading. I went to the local Best Buy thinking this was a steal on a WD-Black hard drive, but of course it is the "Green" lower tier drive. Was disappointed to say the least, but purchased anyway because it would suit my need and didn't want to delay my project. Took off one star for this reason.

My HP PC was running out of memory and needed more. The Technician Specialist tried to find a 2TB on the floor but find anything available. He did try on BestBuy.com, found the only one available was 4TB. I appreciated the time he spent finding what I needed. Now I have more and don't have to worry memory.

If you need and standard HDD, this is a good HDD. Not much more to say, other than take good care of your products and they will last a while.

This is a heavily used drive and gets moves large amounts of data weekly. It's very reliable and last a very long time. It's a very good price for the quality of the drive. This drive was purchased as a replacement for the existing in my computer. I replace the drive every 2 years due to extremely high usage.

No problems whatsoever with this drive, easy to install quiet plenty of storage space for my work videos and music. I will purchase another in the future.

Plenty of storage space at good price. Easy installation. Good value overall.

It functions as advertised. I gave 4 stars because Western Digital support was so godawful that i had to buy this in the first place. I think Seagate will be my goto from now on.

Needed more space and felt this was a good value. I typically buy WD as they have worked out better for me over Seagate. Easy to install and just works.

I purchased this hard drive to carry the torch of storage duties in a gaming machine I built recently. I went over budget on the video card, so I didn’t go with the more expensive 7200 rpm hard drive. After getting everything booted up, I honestly haven’t had any significant boot times, and I’m overall very pleased with its performance. I will probably purchase a couple more for an on-board RAID drive I have planned. This review is subject to amendment pending failure.

So far I really like this hard drive, it was easy to install, had clear instructions, and was packaged well. It also came at a pretty reasonable price! The only thing I would suggest is that you check what the size limit is for hard drives on your device first. I didn't think to do that so I ended up only being able to use half of its storage capacity, but that's just user error. :)

Reasonably priced hard drive. It works great and was easy to install. I did have problems with the free WD software off of their website. I never could get the software to do what I wanted it to do--make an exact copy of my existing hard drive. I had to use different software.

Rolling your own home NAS or home File Server has never been easier, than with this Hard drive. These are not designed for speed, but they certainly more than make up for that with space and reliability. I added one to my system, in less than 10 minutes I had it available for use…with cloud storage it is easy to roll your own home cloud and bolt on more and more storage as you go!

No problem installing this product. Do your research first for the operating system changes at boot up. Just google it. Make sure that you have the correct wire to connect the drive to the motherboard as it is not included in the package. I have 10 Terabytes of disk storage on my main machine now. That is enough for backup purposes and video editing. I also have so portable units for backups. You can never have enough storage space available.

My current hard disk had failed. This one is just amazing. Would recommend for purchase. Best value for money !
