Wonderful expansion to my computer. Sarah and Victoria at Geek Squad in Best Buy did a wonderful job of installing my WD Blue internal hard drive into my Desktop. I went from 1 TB to 5 TB after one installation. The WD Blue works smoothly and efficiently. No problem, no bugs.

Been buying this drive constsntly for years to store media for my home theater PC and have only had one ever have problems. Replaced it under warranty and never looked back.

Hard drive works well. My only issue was that I wanted the 4TB hard drive but after installing it, I found out that it is actually a 2TB version. I do not know if this was a defect in the drive but suspect that it was merely mislabeled. The 4TB version was on sale so that it should have cost just a few dollars more than the 2TB version. Best Buy did refund me the difference between the sale price of the 4TB version and the normal price of the 2TB version but I will never get that additional 2TB of memory that I was hoping for when making this purchase.

Works great, exactly what I wanted! The sales associate was friendly and was able to explain what I needed.

Great product, would order again. It would be better if they carried these in store again because not everyone wants an SSD drive or an external drive.

High capacity drive to store years of photos, videos, music, and other misc files. Works as advertised and a good value for the storage amount.

64MB cache is better than 256MB cache! Yes you read that right. Best Buy ships the WD40EZRZ variant of these drives, which is rather a rare find, given that other retailers Why is this smaller cache variant better? The cache size isn't the only difference here. the -EZRZ variant uses PMR instead of SMR writing technology found in -EZAZ variants. Without going much into the detail, SMR saves money for the HDD manufacturer, at the cost of more write activity for the reorganization of files, which simply doesn't exist with the PMR. Google is your friend if you want to learn more. Yes you heard me, this -EZRZ variant is better.

There's so little that can be said about mechanical drives anymore, unless they're pushing the limits of the format's capacity, so I'll keep it simple. It hasn't failed, and it is holding data without flipping bits randomly. It isn't noisy and hasn't eaten my dog. It's not particularly fast, but for the use it gets, it doesn't need to be. All in all, a good solution to bump up storage space a bit.

I use these hard disk drives for my NAS and other backup files, works great and I haven't had any issues with the drives in over a year now. The speeds are a bit slower than the 7200 RPM drives (these hard drives are 5400 RPM), but I don't have any issues with that in my own setup.

I'm still have it...excellent choice,runs good and has with me like 2 years

Good value for storage expansion, cheap and easy to install.

This 4TB WD Blue worked fantastic in my new computer build. The price to performance is great and it's near whisper quiet during operation. My media library and games have plenty of room to grow now.

Did what I needed a 4GB drive to do. Quick and easy installation into server, quickly configured new shares and started pumping gigs of data onto it. Liked it so much I bought a second so I could put one into my other server, configured DFS between the two and they are replicating. Might buy more soon as it's always good to have more space than you think you need.

One of the best purchases I’ve made when pc gaming

Good general purpose storage hard drive. Large capacity works well if you are working with a lot of video files or other files over 1GB each. Have bought this hard drive in the past and have not had one fail yet. (5 years)

Yes, it's a hard drive for a desktop computer, alright. Wanted to upgrade my 1 TB hard drive with something bigger, and I ended up getting this one. Hook it in with a SATA cable, go to your Drive Management, create a new simple volume, and, boom, new hard drive. Not much else to say. Seems to work great so far.

So far this hard drive has done what it is supposed to do. Store my data and havent had any malfunctions. I have several of these installed and have used them in the past on my other PCs.

Works great, lots of room and easy to install. Can’t imagine not having it

Added much needed additional storage to our computer. Easy to install and set-up. Great option to economically expand your storage space

The drive was literally plug and play into my RAID array. Easy install and setup. Great value - buy with confidence.
