- Good 1T internal drive for the right priceVerified BuyerReviewed by Asti - April 7, 2018
I bought this hard drive after testing to be sure EaseUS Todo software (free!) could duplicate the OS system on my old XP computer/drive. Using a $5 Sata cable and a few small screws from another old computer, it installed easily. I then opened Disc Management and followed some simple instructions I'd googled on how to get my Win 10 machine to recognize the new drive. I then duplicated my hard drive onto the new WD drive and now, when I boot up, I can start and run my system on the new WD drive. A fail safe for fatal viruses or original hard drive failure which is getting more likely after the 5 years it's been spinning along.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - High Performance For a Everyday PriceVerified BuyerReviewed by Steven999 - November 18, 2017
This is about the Western Digital "Blue" line 1TB 7200 RPM internal hard drive. I compared this with other hard drives online before purchasing this one. Cutting to the chase, this drive is comparable in performance with WD's "Black" high performance line, and is very quiet in operation - and for a lower price. I needed it as a secondary "D:" drive on my PC, so performance, low noise, and reliability were paramount. I considered larger capacity drives, but decided that 1TB would be sufficient for my needs - along with the slew of external drives I already use. If a 1TB drive suits your needs, then I highly recommend this one.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - It is a Hard DriveVerified BuyerReviewed by Tom P. - June 22, 2021
I have had Western Digital hard drives for a long time and these are my go to for a large and affordable file storage drive. These are also great for barebones RAID 1 or 10 solutions for an affordable price point but I do not recommend these for 24/7 use in a NAS. The one thing I hope to see with Western Digital consumer hard drives in the future is the adoption of the NVMe 2.0 specification which helps to decrease the inefficiencies between different types of storage devices. Other than that, these hard drives are great for the price point.

- Mid-range drive good for everyoneVerified BuyerReviewed by cujoe - September 16, 2017
When talking hard drives, Western Digital makes some very nice traditional drives. Had to quick replace a failed backup drive and this was a nice price. It's 500gigs less than my previous, but It's not too noticeable since I never used the full space anyway. Easy install and computer recognized it with no problems, reads and writes as well as it should. The color coding of the drives also make it nice to figure out which you need. 'Green' drives are budget drives with slower read/write times and slower speeds to save power. This 'blue' drive is great for lower end computers or backup drives with faster speeds while the 'black' series is geared more for high end systems, almost rivaling SSDs. If you're not worried about high end performance, WD Blue series drives are the way to go.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - Basic DriveVerified BuyerReviewed by ComputerMan78 - December 28, 2016
Good, cheap 1TB 7200 rpm HDD. Good for a budget build or to replace an aging hard drive. Not even close to a basic SSD in speed, but for the cost/space ratio this is a good drive that's often in stock. Don't forget to always keep important data on at least 2 different drives. You never know when a drive will fail. I have used hundreds of this drive and reliability is above average. Most of the failures are when they are not packaged well and they are damaged in shipment.
