[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great value for a well-built product. Took one day to deliver to my house and am very happy with the amount of storage for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have realistic expectations you won't have any complaints. I am using this WD drive in an external with the intention of eventually using it in my Mac Mini for music storage. Even though I've had it a shortime I'm confident it will remain reliable for years to come - most of us know poor quality HHDs sounds like at start up- That is why it deserves five stars. It's not an SSD and you may not want to put it in your laptop as the main boot but it deserves five stars because it does it's job. *****

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A solid 2.5" laptop hard drive. The only real drawbacks are that it spins at 5400 rpms, and has a cache of 8MB. Granted, for the money, those are honestly minor flaws. The hard drive is a solid performer, and start up [for a 5400rpm drive] is somewhat quick: opens to Linux Ubuntu 14.04 in 20 seconds (or faster). Additionally, the ability to save up to 1 terabyte of data is simply awesome. If it had a larger cache and/or spun faster, it would be a true 5 star drive. Heck, some would say that it already is a 5 star drive, when you consider the cost. If it lasts for over 5 years without a blip, then I would gladly upgrade my rating to 5 stars...so far, I've only had it for a few months...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this hard drive to replace/upgrade a failing 500GB laptop hard drive. Swap-out was simple and straightforward; took less than 5 mins (most of which was removing/replacing screws and swapping the metal hard drive frame). Formatted easily and re-installation of OS & software occurred flawlessly (unable to clone due to errors on original drive). Faster boot time compared to previous drive, but that may be because of errors on previous drive. However, it is not slow to boot up. New hard drive continues to live up to expectations with no errors, and the extra capacity is a definite bonus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All I needed was more space as Windows apps consumed my tiny hard drive. I was happy with XP but my hard drive was getting full and I wanted to dual or tipple boot Win 7 and maybe a flavor of Linux. I downloaded the software from the site and it did not recognize the new blank drive as a WD drive which halted my whole upgrade till I used a different partition copy program. Once I got past that chasm, things went smooth for installing the second OS. The transfer software would be better used on a desktop or find a better way to recognize the MFR of the drive. No hardware performance issues.
