    When my computer died, my warranty had expired and I figured it might just be trash. With the help oh the geek squad, I bought this hard drive and they put it in the same day. My computer now runs as hood as new.

    This is an excellent new or replacement disk drive. I have used WD products as replacements for Seagate drives that constantly fail. WD wins the battle easily since I virtually never have any WD drive failures.

    I needed to replace a hard drive in my Dell laptop quickly and I saw this hard drive in the sales paper so I went to the store and it was available and at a great price. My laptop is back up and running now!

    when my laptop died, I replaced the hard drive and OS. Took about 5 minutes to install the drive. Not sure if it's the drive or the OS, but start up is a little slow. I have been using it daily for about a month and have had no problems.

    Cheap, solid, has a descent warranty and most important, it's on the shelf. Not easy to find low cost HDD's in stock anymore. Quick easy, grab and go. When you need a drive quick and dirty, here you go!

    As a Computer Technician I never buy any other hard drives than Western Digital. I'm not saying I never see one fail, but compared to other brands WD drives perform the best by far.

    My original laptop HD was failing after 3 years so I replaced it with this. Easy to replace and transfer data; no problems so far. Also, Best Buy's price was less than the competitor.

    Only downfall is that now that've have a new hard drive and everything has been re-installed, nothing can be opened. It seems something wasn't re-installed correctly. But this does not appear to be the fault of the new hard drive.
