    This was for an older HP laptop for my kids. Didn't need to spend the extra on a solid state. This one works great for them.

    My wife's laptop hardrive died, it's a few years old and I did not feel like investing in an SSD yet the rest of it works fine for her purposes. Pulled the old, put in the new, installed windows and various drivers and we were good to go. I have used WD blue drives before, not the fastest or slowest yet reliable.

    My wife's Toshiba laptop had locked up during an update. Took it to Best Buy - they diagnosed the issue and got back to us with the problem. The laptop is a great computer so a $75 hard drive and she was back up running again. Geek Squad was great - knowledgeable and knocked it out quickly

    Great price for a dependable product! I use Western Digital products in all my equipment and have had an almost zero failure rate. Definitively recommended for all replacement or upgrade applications where a standard drive is desired.

    This was purchased to replace a failed OEM hard drive in a 9 year old dell Latitude. It was easy to install and worked flawlessly once I reloaded the original operating system and restored all the data from an external drive.

    I repair computers. Replacing hard drives is a common occurance. I like being able to go to Best Buy and find what I need on the shelf at a good price. Although this hard drive is not the most rugged solution, it is a good choice for the money. And it's often the exact same hard drive that was originally installed from the laptop maker.

    My old hard drive in my laptop crashed so I had to replace it. I choose this WD hard drive. I wanted to wait awhile to review it and it has proven to be a good one. If you are looking for a good general purpose hard drive, I think this one will meet or exceed your expectations.
