A miss on shipping

Some small issues, when shipping gets an order they need to take note if the order has paid shipping. I was doing a PC over haul and had to wait for drives to come. Had to call in get refund on the shipping because they did not ship it out right.

Mechanical Speeds, Solid State Pricing

This SSD is ?struggling? to hit speeds better than a mechanical drive. It's sustaining about 2.5MB/s reads and a 500KB/s writes. If I could give this a 0, I would

Very messed up hard drive

I received the hard drive in a package and it was totally not secured inside the box. It was bouncing around and no packing to hold it from damage from the jostling around in shipping. TOPTALLY un acceptable. Sent back for refund and never order from Western Digital again.

Didn't last a year

I have a WD hard drive in a XP computer that over 10 years old so I thought I would get a 2TB drive for my other Dell like I said it didn't last a year. I hope to find another 2TB drive like it so I can swap out the head assembly and get my data off the drive.

Works as intended

I purchased this HDD for my Windows PC to serve as a place to store documents and other files I don't need to R/W fast. This is so my SSD can be used to store things like games and such. The HHD works as intended, I have even moved my downloads, documents, videos, and pictures folders to it by using junctions.

One of the most frustrating experiences, ever.

I installed this SSD the day after it was delivered on a Dell xps8920 desktop as the boot drive, and used the Acronis cloning software WD offers on their website. The cloning went well, and the computer booted up incredibly fast, something I wasn't used to, but the computer only sees it as a 1tb drive. Trying to get WD support on the phone is exhaustive as it is frustrating. I never was able to get a support person on the phone, but had to listen to a constant repeating message that is as much of a torture to qualify as evil. Then WD sends me an e-mail asking, "How did we do?" Really, they did that, so I told them, truthfully. Well today they sent another e-mail to attempt to make it better, I suppose, so the adventure continues tomorrow, another four hours of that insane message loop. We'll see how they do.

Great replacement drive

My laptops hard drive died after several years of use, and I replaced it with the exact same drive, I could not get Windows 10 reloaded, something wrong with the image disk I made when the computer was new, so i just downloaded Ubuntu and burned a install DVD disk, and it fired right up and has been working like a Champ.

Great upgrade for a seven year old desktop.

The 2TB Western Digital SATA disk is wonderful. My i7 PC boot time has gone from nearly two minutes to about 20 seconds. I had no problem cloning my HDD to the SATA, and the performance improvement is amazing. The warranty helped to convince me to make the change.

Best upgrade you can have for a slow computer!

By Wyatt

Fabulous product. My iMac had become SO SLOW that it was hard to use. Took so long to boot that I would start it and walk away to do something else while waiting. This SSD has made it run like new. Starts in a FLASH, mere seconds, and ready to USE! Have used WD drives for years. Reliable and LONG LASTING

One Happy Customer

By MarieJ

My HP Envy was needing an upgrade from a OLD 1TB Crucial SSD. So I decided to put a 2TB WD SSD Blue and am extremely satisfied with the performance. It was very easy to install a real GREAT SSD and I managed to snag it at a sale price. Fired up the laptop and NO problems everything worked perfect even the cloning and if I need to buy another SSD I would do it again. Thanks WD for your Sale Notifications
