Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this for video and sharing. The drive performed as advertised and is still going strong.

Bought this to replace an internal drive received with my Dell PC. No problem in installing, cloning or using it thus far. Noted that it is 5400 rpm drive but found no issues in copying files back and forth. Hoping that it is reliable in the long as it is my primary hard drive and stores all my critical files. The Dell packaged a small SSD for the OS. Have several Western Digital drives that are 7200rpm. Didn't find any difference in daily use of this WD Blue 5400 rpm.

Five stars so far. I installed it, the computer recognized it, I ignored the WD software since it is the same as I received earlier with other drives. I started copying files from my backup system and it simply behaves as it should. Two, 3, 4, 5 years from now I might post again about its durability.

Only use for off-line backup situations and when cloud is not available. Good value. Quiet action.

This is an old reliable hard drive. Very quiet. A lot of storage for not much money.

Needed more storage for games and media. This is one of the best bang for the buck you can find without spending a fortune.

paired 4TB drives used for server storage group with redundency. Easy setup, reliable use. Buying on sale helped decision.

Easy to install and use. Makes it easy to add storage to computer. Highly recommend.

The harddrive works well Just be aware that most operating system wont detect the 4tb harddrive if not partitioned correctly. Press the Windows key+X and choose Powershell (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin) Here type Diskpart and press Enter. type the following Bold commands pressing Enter after Each one. (ie) DISKPART > ii) list disk (ie) DISKPART > list disk It now lists disk by number you have to select the disk next with iii) select disk <disk number> (ie) DISKPART> Select Disk (disk number) = as listed in previous command. The selected disk now has an Asterisk next to it. iv) clean (this erases all data on the Disk, so be sure you choose the correct one) (ie) DISKPART> clean v) convert gpt vi) create partition primary vii) format fs=ntfs quick now for verification of disk status and free space type v) list disk the status should be "online" and free space should be "disk size" ‘vi)exit

Works well, and gives my son the extra storage he needs. a lot cheaper than trying to by an additional 4tb in ssd.

4TB at great price. The performance is not what I would expect from SSD but it's still capable to handle everything I need without lag.

Works great zero issues with loaded with tons of emulators!!

I've gone through hundreds of hard drives over the past 25 years (or more). WD has been one of those drives that was inexpensive and was in every EOM machine where cost was important. Even in business line of machines for users, the consistently failed early and spectacularly. Seagate drives would fail at a rate close to WD. Toshiba drives seemed to last the longest and perform well. Technology and quality goes through spurts and my hope that WD has stepped up it's game runs high. I have two of the same model I purchased through 2 separate vendors to see how well they perform. Proof over time. I'm hoping to see a lifespan of 5 years, but expecting 2 years. Time will tell. They are being used in a Beyond RAID unit from Drobo.

a lot of storage, affordable price, I bought it for storage my video collection, so far so good

Best money I spent would recommend for fast storage upgrade

This drive has a huge storage capacity for a very reasonable price. I bought it to store old home movies I had transfered to my computer. It holds tons of video.

I wish it was solid state but it's an easy install and $84 and change is, great price for a 4 TB hard drive.

Great price on sale. Great for storage and fast enough.

Purchased this drive to expand storage in my desktop PC. Provides lots of storage area, and has been very reliable.

I was needing a pretty decently sized hard drive on a budget. This hard drive perfectly met my storage needs for a home server. I would recommend this to anyone looking for simple storage solutions for you backups.
