Great value!

I've always trusted WD after several disappointments with other drives from other manufacturers. They may have let me down but WD never has.

Works fine and Good Value

WD stuff is solid and I purchased this one because it was at a mid-range price point. The pc I installed it in is 5 years old so I didn't want to throw a ton of money at it. I rated it a 5 star because there were ZERO hassles on the install and it took right off.

Works as Advertised - Does Exactly What I Wanted

I bought this drive to back up my system drive. I was able to clone my existing drive and then run off the cloned drive without issues. This drive works as advertised, and I would buy another one if I needed it.

Unhappy

I have purchased WD hardrives befor and they have always been exceptional. This particular one turned out to have a bad sector so I had problems with it. It was exchanged for me and I am very happy with the replacement hardrive.
