    My sons hard drive went out on his PlayStation 4, so I was advised by the employee that I would just need to purchase a new one and showed me how to install it myself. I was very glad he took the time to show me as it saved me time and money processing the install by myself. Also feel a little techie now! This hard drive seems to be working great and was a great price!

    Great hard drive for the money

    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.

    My Granddaughters Hard Drive crashed. Found this at Best Buy as a replacement. I was fairly easy to install. Had a little difficulty with the programming. But Dell was able to provide me the info and software. This is the first hard drive I had ever replaced. Just doing a little research provided me with the info I needed.
