Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have found these drives to work best with my external Black X drive docking station. Program data saves and backups run very fast on it. Big QuickBooks company files backup and verify within 45 seconds of [save] click. Gave it a good rating only because of the short time it has been in service. Other than that, it is giving top notch performance at a great price.

Bought to replace aging HD and it did not disapoint. Have used WD drives for years and never had one fail. This runs at 7200 rpm so pc does boot and opens apps a bit quicker. Can't beat the price for a good reliable drive.

I purchased the WD mainstream to replace a dead HD in my Dell desktop computer ... the installation was so easy ... so far I can say it is an Excellent drive! reliable, fast, & quiet. What more could you ask for an a HD ...

Bought this 1 TB HDD to replace one that was failing. Put it in my duplicator and 4 hours later installed it into the PC. Worked as though nothing had ever been wrong! Very happy with the purchase!

I was updating an old computer and installing this hard drive as a second drive for storage. When I upgraded Windows the original hard drive crashed and died . The WD 1TB became the main drive. The old drive never was as quiet or as fast as the new one. Now if it will last 8 years like the old one remains to be seen

One good ssd for any type of desktop, especially if you need extra storage for games and even work files, it isn’t as slow as I expected, it’s actually an pretty good mid fast ssd for the price

After losing a hard drive I made this purchase at Best Buy. The price was just right and the size was compatible with my desktop system. I has been flawless and very quiet.

I use these for storage drives in my budget builds and they r rock solid!! Last forever, fast enough to access quickly, and fairly cheap. On sale got for $50. Can't beat tht

price is right easy to install was surprised at the boot up speed of pc after install

Western Digital is one of the better brands of hard drive makers.This drive was easy to install. Works perfect. Price is great. And, you can go wrong with a 2 year warranty.

Great price and good speeds for a spinning device. I’ve used quite a few of these with no problems.

Decided to upgrade my office computer hard drive for more storage capacity and a faster read time. This drive worked great. Easy install. Cloned the drive for easy setup.

My HP computer hard drive crashed, and I needed a new hard drive. I prefer Western Digital drive to the Seagate drive originally in my computer. My Seagate hard drive did not last 2 years. I worked on computers for a local school district and the technology coordinator always wanted to use Western Digital due to better reliability. I had a backup of the original system configuration on a jump drive, data backups, and the CD's to install the additional software that was on the crashed drive. I also updated Windows 8 to 8.1 as the crashed drive had been. Installation was very straightforward with the new hard drve.

Was working on a Friends computer and he couldn't figure out why it was running so very slow, and getting a blue screen after booting up. Found out it was a bad drive. Bought this Western Digital 1 TB drive to replace his existing one, and that booted up without any issues. Best Buy had it in stock and took only a few minutes to pick up, swap out, and install the OS. Everything is great.

These are great drives, fast for a traditional hard drive, reliable, and quiet , too. I use these regularly and have never had a problem with one.

I installed this new drive in an old computer so that I could upgrade to windows 10.. working great speed is great and plenty of storage.

I have had so many hard drives tank in the last three years that I am good at installing new ones either in desktops or laptops. This time it was another desktop hard drive failure. The ones that I pulled from the OEM were either Seagate or Toshiba. I have replaced everyone with a Western Digital Disk Drive. So far, each WD has survived and been reliable. Good selection at Best Buy and they had a number for me to choose from. The rebuild process from a System Image Recovery Drive, also WD, a passport, was easy and no pain. Good product overall.

Plenty of storage with a terrabyte of space. Excellent price point for this drive as well. Fast performance, easy to install, no muss, no fuss - just a great deal.

When your computer crashes and your hard drive freezes, it's not a good thing. So when I had to replace my hard drive, I didn't want to pay someone hundreds of dollars. I went on the Internet and decided which one was right for me. Then off to Best Buy to purchase it. The person who helped me actually helped me choose this model in stead. He said it was faster, easy to install, and lasted longer than the one I originally went to buy. He was right! Easy step by step instructions, was easy to install, and so fast and quiet. I feel like I have a new energized computer!

Purchased to replace dead 2009 iMac 250GB drive. Installed well - same size/mount. Speedy compared to old drive. Economical choice.
