THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

So far, so good

I installed this as a backup hardrive for my home PC. It has been is running well for 3 months now. Upon installation, the drive was not recognized by my system. You have to go to the Western Digital website for technical instructions specific to your operating platform in order to use the hard drive. Instructions are very good, but packaging makes no reference to them.

Very nice secondary harddrive!

I have had this HDD for 6 months now as a secondary hdd, an ssd being my primary, Ive used most of it with only 350gb free it has not failed me yet. Very efficient since it lowers rpm at idle.

Perfect Drive!

This is my 5th WD drive in 3 years with no issues. All of them are still running strong, and they are on 24-7. This is the first 1TB Black drive I have purchased. I use this drive for strictly backups, so large amounts of data get written to it at once, usually around 400GB at a time. These drives are top notch! Don't hesitate with these, get one today!!
