Customer Ratings & Reviews

It runs cool. It has a lot of storage. It is very quiet. Great price on Black Friday. Quick SMART test showed no errors. Took 5 days to reach 90% on the complete test, no errors so far. Downside is that it is STILL at 90% on WD Drive Utilities complete testing. It's been like 240 hours running that test. How long is it supposed to take? WD help is less than helpful. They advised me to use WD Dashboard. I guess I'll stop the test and try that.

This drive can be "shucked" by removing the case and the USB adapter board. Once the drive is pulled from the case, you can use it in a PC for storing movies or other data internally. At the sale price of $200, this is a great deal. It's not a super fast drive, but for storing movies and music it is perfect.

After losing quite a bit of data using another big name company (the only product offered at one of the "club stores") - I switched to Western Digital & have not been disappointed.

Reliable and quiet, high capacity, fast read/writes

Large amount of storage, small package. Excellent purchase.

Easy to setup. Huge drive. I use it for movies and works great.

Plenty of space for people that need it. The price was good also.

This drive is a good choice if you want a great deal of storage...presumably for backup (don't rely on a single copy of anything, make duplicates). So far it has worked flawlessly. It is fast using the USB 3.0 connection. If you have a lot of stuff on your computer, this will allow you to protect it all.

This HDD gives me the extra storage I needed at a great price.

Very easy to use. Great for storing large numbers of videos.

My son's addiction to xbox game collection has driven me to purchase something that provides for compatible game play and can hold most of his gaming library. This HDD has certainly done the trick, and hopefully lasts him awhile before running out of space (again). Great price for the size and purpose.

Works well so far. No problems. Easy to use.... Well priced.

Ran quiet and cool. Using this as warm backup on OMV. Works very well, filled about 60% and every single system backup verifies. Lowest priced per GB when bought using 15% coupon (WD trade in offer: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/recycling/storage-recycling-offer/pcmcat1628281022996.c?id=pcmcat1628281022996).

Best Buy had a very good sale on this item at the time I purchased so I was able to get my money's worth for sure. The hard drive works great, set up took a little research to be found on my network but was easy to figure out.

I needed something to store all my games, videos and pictures and was tired of running out of space, now this thing is wonderful it truly a plug and play device and i have not had to buy any other product since this purchase.

Plenty of room for Entertainment. Great Price Can't beat it

Easy to use. Plug and play. Not complicated. Runs quiet.

Solid drive. Quiet, not much vibration. Doesn't get hot, seems to run fairly cool even when transferring large files or when in heavy constant use. Lots of storage. I haven't had it too long yet. I hope it will last me many years.

TONS of storage for a very reasonable price. I've had the 12TB version of this same drive and it's been very reliable.

I bought this to back up a laptop before sending it in for repair. I do prefer Seagate/WD products for storage but lately I am buying more SD cards and Flash Drives as their storage capacity increases. I would buy this product again if I need a large amount of storage again. Thank you!
