    • Great Hard Drive!!
Capacity: 2TB Style: Newest Generation
Ive had this for a couple of years now and it hasn't done me a thing wrong! It is quite large, however, so I would kindly advise that you make space for it upon buying it.

    • ALWAYS TEST YOUR NEW HARD DRIVES - PSA
Capacity: 2TB Style: Newest Generation
Review Image by *
What I'm about to tell you will potentially save you from future catastrophic failures including loss of data. Nothing beats having multiple good backup copies.; however, the following information will instruct you on how to test your new drive to make sure it's free from defects. Imagine, you have a spinning disk rotating thousands of times per minute separated by its recording/reading head by less thickness of a human hair. Just one wrong thing and .. "click..click..click". You don't want that. Generally speaking a bad hard drive will make itself known sooner vs later when it's tested fully. Not always. What YOU can do is put the hard drive through its paces to really give it a good solid work out and make sure every space designated by the drive as available/writeable space, is in fact GOOD. Its magnetic/electrical properties strong. This test is a LONG test. What it does is write all 01010101s,10101010s,11111111s,and 00000000s, binary, to the disk.--filling it. It does this in 4 passes (i.e. writes the disk fully) 4 times. After each write it will read what was just written beginning to end to ensure all bits were written exactly right. If they wern't, the drive's detection mechanism for errors (SMART) will notice (i.e. a bit was not written to a sector correctly) and flag the SMART COUNTER. For example, uncorrectable or reallocated sector count would show a non-0 value. During operation, if the drive encounters a fault with a sector it will swap that sector with another known good sector the drive has in reserve and will log it via SMART. A PERFECTLY WORKING HARD DRIVE WILL SHOW '0' for 'Reallocated Sector Count','Reported Uncorrectable Errors','Current Pending Sector Count','Uncorrectable Sector Count'.IF ANY OF THESE VALUES SHOWS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A 0 (zero), THEN YOU HAVE A FAILING HDD AND SHOULD REPLACE IT ASAP. DO NOT TRUST YOUR DATA ON IT. This command will erase everything on the disk if there is data already on there when you run this test. For this 2TB it would have taken about 30 hours, but I stopped it at the start of the final pass since I was confident--4 passes are better but do at least 2. But I am confident the data will be safe because it worked out the drive hard and pictures above show good numbers. Boot up your computer using a linux distribution boot usb/cd. Debian Ubuntu, any one will do--it doesn't matter. In a terminal type: sudo fdisk -l *Identiy which /dev is your HDD you wish to test. Also note if it says 512 or 4096 where it says "Sector size (logical/physical)". For example, if it's /dev/sde and says 4096 Sector Size (such as this 2tb drive) then type the following command: sudo badblocks -wsv -b 4096 -c 131072 /dev/sde This will 0101,1010,1111,and 0000 write and read/verify the drive back-to-back in 4 passes. On my slow computer this took around 24-30 hours to complete or 2tb. The ' -b ' option is the Block Size. This should match the drive. 512 or 4096. The '-c' option tells badblocks how many blocks to test at time. Changing this number will alter the speed and will either make the process go along faster or slower (dependant on Drive Interface, Ram/Cpu speed, etc.). Instead of '-c 131072' ,try '-c 65536 if it seems the test is taking too long to increment the %'s. In fact try it with '-c 65536' option. Let it run or 30 sec then CTRL-C to cancel it. Then run the command again but with '-c 131072' instead. Run it for 30 sec then CTRL-C to cancel. Compare the 2 and whichever command that had the higher % when you CTRL-C'd would be the number you would choose since that one ran a little bit faster. Google or man page 'badblocks' for more information. Whenever you buy a new hard drive get into the mindset/habit that you will NOT use them for awhile because you have to test them out first. Trust me on this and it's totally worth it. I'd like to think I avoid catastrophic failures because I did this test and it would have presented itself (or at least more likelihood) then vs months/years down the road. That's not a given--any drive can fail anytime or any reason but this is just an additional layer. Like a "shakedown cruise' if you will. Regarding this drive: Western Digital 2TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache,, I can say that I am pleased it tested clean and I look forward to using this drive.And I'm confident it will keep my data intact. You are welcome! ... show more

    • What can you say, it's a 2TB SATA 5400 RPM mechanical drive with a fair cache at a decent price
Capacity: 2TB Style: Newest Generation
I broke the SATA connector on the 2TB boot drive in a work computer I use at home. Rather than tape the cable in place I spent about $50 on a replacement drive that has no problems performing the same task with equivalent capacity to the one I broke. I had no problem restoring the linux boot by recovering from the drive I broke the connector on. This drive is 4 inches wide and the doesn't need a mounting tray to fit my workstation. I replaced, the drive I broke the connector on, so all is well. I don't use it for gaming so that vote is an assumption that top performance games would benefit from something at least faster and probably higher capacity. Not concerns for this linux boot disk. As usual for disks it's capacity is about 2 decimal power TB rather than 2 binary power TiB, so the binary power capacity is about 1.82 TiB. Same as the drive it replaced but kind of annoying in the present day, though that's not really much of a case. The drive is fine, cheap, decent capacity and a trusted brand for my use. ... show more

    • Well, it's a hard drive in 2025.
Capacity: 1TB Style: Newest Generation
Mine has served it's purpose, still holding strong in my PC seven years later as a nice backup storage drive. Hard drives were old news 20 years ago, I would only recommend them in 2025 if you need storage on the ultra low price side of things. You can get a decent SATA SSD with way faster speeds and similar capacity for not much more these days. ... show more

    • DOA (updated: 20 January 2021)
Capacity: 3TB Style: Newest Generation
First had issues getting BIOS to recognize the drive. Then the disk manager wouldn't recognize it. Then it wouldn't format it. After all that, plugged it into another computer to see if it was just my computer, blue screen and still no drive. Returning and waiting on my replacement, I'll give it one more shot. I'm a huge fan of WD, this one will make or break my next purchases with them. Updated 06 Jan 16: I received a new drive, hooked it up and the computer instantly recognized it and prompted me to format. Drive is working great, about 2.7TB total. It's used pretty heavily, but so far so good. I do recommend this drive to anyone who's looking for more storage space, but not wanting to break the bank! Update: 20 January 2021 Drive is still holding up well. Used it as a main drive for a while and then as a backup, no issues with moving data across and no hiccups whatsoever. Great quality! ... show more

Product arrived in excellent condition from ALL4COMPUTERS. I use these mega TB Western Digital drives for backups, video and photo storage and emergency work. ALL4 was also very responsive in providing some after purchase information about installation. I'll definitely buy from them here again.
