Great value for basic storage! This is a lot of space to fill!

Good cost performance with enough size for saving movie and picture files.

all the wd drives i bought lasts for many years great company

I waited to long to check the drive as it only formats to 1.6 TB instead of 6TB.

With its high capacity, this drive is ideal for secondary storage. I've used WD Blue series drives for many years, and they're long-lasting and reliable. This drive replaced an older WD hard drive in a Linux system. Installation was simple and straightforward, and it runs very quietly. Note that it's a slower (5400 RPM) drive, which would not be ideal for a primary system disk, but it works great for data storage.

Bought this to add storage to a new lab server I am building. Went with WD because I've been using their drives for years and haven't experienced any failures. Was easy and quick to install.

Great Price! Convenient Curbside Pickup! I can always count on Best Buy to get what I need in a fix and feel assured if there is any problem with the item, I can get it quickly replaced or refunded since they are located in my Neiborhood. I usually get Western Digital Black HDDs, but this WD Blue model is pretty good, and the price was right.

smr drive works great for archiving 4000 movies. the drive is fast and quiet good transfer rates for hdd. the usual wd quality i have grown to accept .brought 2 don't believe in not having a back up.

Tons of storage for the $ Pros: - 6TB drive - Fast reading/writing for a traditional HD - No issues so far - Western Digital quality

For storage, it is excellent. You only get 5.6TB and took about 18 hours to format normally. I didn't use quick format option because I wanted to see if any errors would come up. I rather see them now than later.

I bought this drive and was working up getting all the components for my computer and finally built it this past week. The other internal hard drive from segate works fine but this one will not work. When I try to switch to online from offline it says error drive not ready but when I go into details in the actual drive it says it’s “drive is ready”. I messed around with the cables and It wasn’t unplugged or anything different than my other internal HD. Pretty unfortunate that it doesn’t work. I threw away the original box as part of the cleanup so I don’t think I can return it either. That’s a fault of my own. Waste of a good chunk of money and I still need more storage :( I’m sure it would have been nice because of the amount of storage you get. But a refund would be nice or a new one.

Huge capacity, nice manufacturer, small price. Easy to plugin.

I managed to snag this on sale for around a hundred bucks, which is pretty good at the moment. I now have plenty of room to reorganize my media as well as use it to run games off of. Unless you have a game that specifies use of an SSD, this should be fine for games.

I love all WD products. They are hardy and trustworthy. The blue line such as this one is a great option to store home files or your standard window back ups and image. You cant go wrong.

Western Digital is the only brand of hard drives that I trust. They rarely fail and just do the job.

This was bought on sale and was well worth the money! Great extra space to save lots of data! Might even consider purchasing another for a mirror raid.

This is an excellent add on drive. I use mine as an external drive, read and write times are good. 5 TB makes for plenty of storage.

I wanted all my pc games on one drive so I got this monster, works great no issues.

I've been using Western Digital's hard drives for years, so unsurprisingly, my recent purchase of this drive has been useful, with the drive working as expected, as well as obviously allowing me to store more files.

Just as advertised and got here in 2 days! Can't ask for better.
