Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Blue 500GB Internal SATA Hard Drive's performance, ease of use, and price. Many appreciate its ample storage capacity and straightforward installation process. While some found the size to be a minor drawback, the positive feedback on performance and value outweighs this concern. The drive's quiet operation is also frequently praised.

    It wouldn't work with Windows 10. My PC had operated previously with Windows 10. After attempting to load, it failed and said my PC would not operate with Windows 10.

    Great hard drive, Fantastic included software

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Five stars for the drive. Purchased to replace the failing OEM hard drive in an HP Pavilion laptop. Installation was painless and the new drive runs great. Spindle speed 5400 RPM is technically slower than the OEM drive it replaced, but I don't notice a difference in access speed. Five stars also for WD's downloadable Acronis TrueImage (ATI) software. ATI will backup all partitions including hidden Windows partitions and the boot sector, so the entire contents can be transferred to the new WD hard drive. Bootable ATI recovery disk can be created on either a CD-ROM or a USB stick, though the WD edition will only run if a WD drive is installed. ATI gets a fifth star for its ability to be installed and run from the old hard drive AND wipe the old drive in place. This is useful if you only have one SATA cable and you're replacing a non-WD drive.

    Needed a new hard drive for my Macbook and didn't want to spend too much. Looked at a few different ones but I always come back to Western Digital. Originally I was going to just pick up the 320GB but since the 500GB was just a little more, I went for it. Very easy to install, no issues with it.

    Bought this drive to upgrade a 4gb XBOX 360. Had to research this process online, but it was up and running in about 25 minutes. Inexpensive way to play my original XBOX games again!
