Reliable, quiet, cool.

I already bought four of these discs, I use them for PS2 games. I ran a surface scan on all drives and found no errors. The ones I bought were released in 2012 and are the most reliable of these 7 year old drives. These are new, not refurbished. Get them while you can. It's getting harder and harder to find soft modded PS2 compatible hard drives.

Pros
  • practical thing
Cons
  • disappears

Far from the description - and defective.

These discs were produced in 2011. These are OEM wheels so they have ZERO warranty. All three drives I bought failed Western Digital's SMART test. I cannot use these discs. You are doomed to fail. I really can't believe this list got the Revain Choice Banner. They have a great price but they are not the same as in the listing. The information is wrong.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Good but ALT Best in Computers & Accessories category

This is a good hard drive replacement option, really affordable and won't break the bank BUT it's OLD, the hard drives are really old technology and they're an era out of date, they're slow, and they fail easily. As a computer engineer I would recommend buying this hard drive if you are looking for a cheap and large storage drive but don't care about speed, if you want FAST I would recommend you go for SSDs.

Pros
  • Well done
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

A very inexpensive way to repair hard drives on older desktops

If you don't expose your hard drive to large amounts of documents, videos, photos, or business applications, this WD drive costs about $25. is theft. Intended for general browsing, shopping, and home use, you're unlikely to fill up 500GB, even with a bloated Windows 10 OS. Less expensive to start with than SATA drives, and Western Digital generally makes reliable, long-lasting drives. Why pay for more disk space than the average user can use? This fits the bill.

Pros
  • Nice deal
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

OLD Hard Drive and Failure - Computers and Accessories

Hard Drive #2 Just Arrived Prime Guaranteed. I noticed that I can't find the production date on the sticker. Then I noticed that they had abbreviated the manufacture date of both hard drives I ordered. Thankfully, this is Amazon's staple, endless replacement. WD website does not recognize S/N for warranty because it is too old. Let's see how long hard drive #2 lasts a day. run over. next. Amazon will not send another one, just a refund.

Pros
  • Great for a Small Home
Cons
  • Waiting Too Long

Quiet and great fit/work

Arrived in great condition in manufacturer's OEM packaging. I installed it to replace an old 250GB drive on my Acer Veriton desktop. I wanted to use it as a Linux machine. Installing the floppy took less than 10 minutes and my Linux distribution DVD recognized it and installed the software with no problems. The drive is very quiet and works as it should. I replaced the Seagate drive with this brand from WD for the price alone as I had a lot of experience with both brands. So far I'm very happy…

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Damaged

Buy the disc in person from a trusted seller.

I bought it about a month ago because someone recommended it to me. Well that person is definitely lucky because all I've had with this WD drive has been a headache. The drive arrived corrupted with a dreaded "click of death" when I tried to run it through my hard drive adapter. I thought it might be my adapter but no because I took out the WD Green 1TB from my other computer and it works fine. It connected to the computer perfectly without any clicks. I sent it back, got my money back, went to

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
