    My hard drive died on my laptop. This was easy to install and works great. The performance is better than my old hard drive. Good price for the amount of storage.

    Great extra low cost storage as a secondary drive to your SSD. I also used for an older laptop where I wanted to replace the drive and not spend much doing it.

    I bought this as a replacement for a friend who's hard drive suffered a mechanical failure. It operates as expected, has no odd behavior, and was a direct fit after swapping the mountings over from the old drive. It's been just over a month and I haven't heard any complaints about the drive.

    These drives are some of the best money can buy for a mechanical drive. As a computer engineer for over 20 years I only purchase Western Digital drives.

    I installed this as my data drive when I replaced the failed 1TB loptop HD with an SSD. Together with the SSD I have the full 1TB capacity but boot times are significantly faster with this configuration.

    I'm so disappointed to find out that a laptop hard drive can be bad right out of the box and need replacing. Mine was a year old and replaced the hard drive per the Geek Squad recommendation.

    Works as it should. No issues. Hope it lasts more than my last hard drive. Seems like I am replacing my hard drive about every 12-16 months. This is my 3rd in a Toshiba laptop. Hoping it last!

    The hard drive installed easily enough, but the data transfer software that Western Digital advertises for this laptop hard drive only works with desktop drives. So I had to install the operating system and everything from scratch. Other than that, it has been working fine.
