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.

    Great price, easy to install. If a Windows machine the original product key is stored in the computer. This allows you to install from any installation CD or download from Microsoft.

    Replaced a failed hard drive in my laptop with this WD hard drive. It could be me, but it actually seems faster than the stock drive. I really didn't expect a performance improvement, since I was replacing a drive of the same size. A pleasant surprise.

    I have always relied on Western Digital hard drives and have never been disappointed. This one is working as expected as a replacement for a failed one of another brand. Not much to look at it, but it works great.

    I don’t have a preference in SeaGate vs WD but this hard was on sale at the time I bought it and it was the best price per GB at the time. I would definetly buy this again. So far I have had no issues with this hard drive at all.

    We now seem to be required to buy one of these devices since they no longer come with the computer. At least the device is reasonably priced and works fine. Another device that needs to be carried along if you want to use cd's pr dvd's.

    The hard rive was going out on my laptop and needed to be replaced. Working with the Geek Squad this appeared to be the most cost effective replacement for the Hard dirve. I also added more storage to the computer. I would highly recommend the hard drive.

    I helped a friend that had a bad HDD. Tried several ways to check for errors, or corrupt or bad sectors, with no success. I ghosted the original HDD, removed the old HDD and inserted the new. I copied the ghosted data to the new drive and it was good to go.

    The drive was purchased as a replacement for a failed drive in an older computer. The drive was installed by the Geek Squad, and has worked without failure since the installation.. My computer is on for at least eight hours a day.
