Used drives can be found on eBay for a reasonable prices and those from reputable re-sellers can deliver performance and longevity virtually equal to new units. Read full review

The 500 GB hard drive that I received is non-operable and unusable

THIS IS THE REVIEW I SENT TO THE SELLER ON 12/01/2022 AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM:
The 500 GB hard drive that I received is non-operable and unusable. I connected the HDD to 3 different computers and could not access/use the drive using 4 different operating systems (2 Windows and 2 Linux) and GPARTED installed on a CD could not access, format, or partition the HDD.

Good value!

Western Digital has been my primary source of disk drives and have never been disappointed in them. They seem to last for years!
I was surprised to discover I was unable to use this one as an external drive connected via an Interface Cable to a USB Port; I have a couple 2.5" drives I do that with. Finally decided to purchase an Interface Cable with a Power Supply and that did the trick!Read full review

storage drive

PROS its quiet / stores my data and was cheep. its a good quality drive.

CONS its not super fast. don't get me wrong its not a slug. I have a WD black in my other computer and it is much faster then the blue but also cost more so I guess you get what you pay for.

I use a ssd for my main drive and this hhd for extra storage and it works out great.Read full review

Very nice hard drive!

This hard drive works as expected. I am using it in a second slot for data storage on my computer. I don't know how reliable it is yet!

NEW Western Digital hard drives packaged well and shipped quickly.

These older Western Digital SATA 500 GB hard drives are being used as primary and backup drives for my antique Dell 4600 Windows XP computer. I use this computer almost every day in my business. The programs and software on this computer are all paid for and I have an extensive collection of spare parts that enable me to make all repairs myself. In the event of a hard drive failure, these WD drives now contain ghost copies of the operating system that will be easy to swap out if necessary.Read full review
