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.

    I have only had this hard drive for about a month but so far it is working great and the price was right. I did some comparison shopping and didn't find anything that was considerably cheaper.

    Saw that this was the one to buy after doing some research about upgrading my PS3. I needed more space for my PS3 and this did the trick. Went from 12GB to 500GB (about 435GB usable) in no time at all. Seems to be working fine. No problems.

    These hard drives are great by any standard, and the prices have gone down substantially compared to just a few years ago. WD is the way to go.

    WD Makes Great Drives...Simple As That

    I use WD drives in every system I build. Samsung laptop came with a Samsung HDD. It was noisy and slow...then it died...and evidently that is a normal thing for their laptops without SSDrives. Laptop was 2 years old. HDDs die. I understand this. However, never had a WD one croke on me, so WD went in as the replacement. Faster and quieter than the Sammy. Should last longer then the laptop's tech.

    We replaced the hard drive in a MAC pro notebook with this western digital. Very fast with plenty of storage space. You can't go wrong with this purchase.

    Good HD for the price. BB did not have a seagate drive for my laptop so i took a chance on this. I usually buy seagate drives as i have had a couple WD drives fail in the past. Never had a seagate fail me yet. so far so good.

    I was looking to expand the space on my PlayStation 3 to be able to store and download more games. I came across this hard drive and it not only installed easily, it runs perfectly and I've got more space than ever to continue gaming! If you're looking to expand your PS3 capacity, this is the HD for you!

    I had the Geek Squad replace my hard drive for my older Dell Studio 1737 Laptop. Geek Squad did all the install and reinstalled my Operating System. Shon did a great job, kept in contact with me and also remined me that I still get the Windows 10 Upgrade for free. But had to decline as where I work is not ready for Window 10(that is a different story). So big Thanks for Shon and the Geek Squad of Store #1077 in Sierra Vista AZ. The hard drive is very good It has been for a month now and no Problems.
