        Good quality

        I use it to store my games that don't take long to load, as well as my photos and videos. No errors, easy to install and well recognised by Windows.

        excellent hard drive

        I've only ordered western digital for a long time now and have never been disappointed. It works very well and is of good quality.

        Excellent and reliable

        I bought 2 hard drives of this model at the beginning of 2014, so almost 10 years ago.
        Since then I've had nothing to report, they both work as well as ever and the transfer rate is very good. They're quiet (which is not at all the case with other hard drives I have at home).
        In short, they're a great value.

        internal spare drive

        Purchased as a secondary hard drive in addition to an SSD for a fixed PC. Robust model, I recommend it.

        HDD 1TO

        In order to increase the storage capacity of my workstation, I opted for this drive, which allows me to make regular back-ups of my various projects.
        Thank you LDLC for the fast delivery.

        Just perfect, nearly 40k hours of use

        I'm posting my opinion after almost 10 years, but what could be better than a good, long test?
        First of all, I chose this HDD because it was quieter and more reliable than its competitor. This was obvious, as even the scratching noises typical of a mechanical hard drive are very low on this model. The transfer rate is top-notch, and it's reliable and consistent over time, despite being used quite violently, with almost 40,000 hours of operation on several versions of Windows.

        A little disappointed

        I'm a regular of the brand, but for a gamer pc, I wonder if I should have bought a black one, it's noisy and despite its 7200tr SATA3 it's quite slow (cache memory??? maybe). but apart from that I'm confident

        Perfect for simple storage.

        Received well packaged and protected, used for normal storage in an HTCP. Very good transfer rate for this type of hard drive, especially for large video files. Recognised direct without a hitch.

        Need for space

        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new hard drive to match the M2, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new hard drive to match the M2, because it's a good idea to buy a new hard drive to match the M2, because it's a good idea to buy a new hard drive to match the M2. This evolution in sata 3 and these 64mo of cache gives a second breath to the pc.

        1TB WD hard drive

        I am using this HD to replace the HD that unfortunately has one or more defective segments.
        Mostly to recover my pc.
        Corresponds completely to the description.

        I order from LDLC for their fast delivery and very efficient after sales service.
        The prices are not the lowest of the mail order sites but the small price difference is justified by their impeccable service.

        Perfect.

        HDD purchased a year ago to add a drive to the PC which already has a drive of the same model.
        The drives have 11,000 hours and 1700 hours respectively and so far I have never had any problems with them.
        The drive is quite quiet and efficient in terms of throughput, copies...
        So far I am very satisfied with this HDD model which lasts unlike other models which fail quickly or are much less efficient.

        Performs well initially, but quickly becomes defective over time

        Hard disk ordered and very efficient during the first long months of use, but started to degrade very quickly after about ten months, despite excellent maintenance.
        Result today: 90% of the sectors are defective, and the disk is almost unusable. I use it to store volatile, non precious data.

        I have another WD 3.5" drive that is perfectly fine, no bad sectors after more than 5 years of intensive use...
        I simply think I have fallen on a bad link in the production chain! I will not use WD again for entry-level hard drives.

        Good hard drive

        Hello. The WD Blue is a very good hard drive. I use it to install my heavy applications and it reads them in no time. However, I must admit that the noises of the disk heads when the hard disk goes to sleep are a little annoying when you have a silent PC.
        It does the job well

        Very good! But...

        I have always bought Western Digital, and? never disappointed!
        Nevertheless, for the less computer savvy users: whether it's on Win7 or Win10, the hard drives are well detected but the data format is not usable.
        A simple Google search will give you the solution to correct the problem, but you have to know it ;)

        Excellent hard drive

        In the 10 months I've had it, no problems. It has withstood transport in a protective case. Nothing seems to have changed. It is not fragile as the soldering of the card is inwards, unlike others.
        Great.

        2nd internal hard drive

        I needed to increase the capacity of my internal hard drive (just over 100GB), as I am not a computer specialist I phoned LDLC customer service who advised me perfectly on the purchase of a second 900GB internal hard drive and the connection cable
        Delivery in a few days
        I connected it with the help of a utube tutorial and then a friend put it into service for me. Since then, my PC no longer struggles and I have a storage capacity well beyond my needs

        Easy installation, fast throughput. I ask my hard drive not to lose data (which happened to me), reliability in the operation, silent (some old model, it looks like the start of an engine ...) I use it exclusively, for my website, I am very satisfied, WD hard drive no need for a long speech, it is good!

        The order was correct, the package was correct, but...

        Cyclic redundancy during initialization, making the disk unusable for the moment, dead on arrival I imagine, even after a SMART scan and formatting with software, more than 2000 "BAD" during the analysis... I'm waiting for my answer from the after sales service to see what is possible.

        I'm waiting for my answer from the after sales service to see what is possible. Otherwise, no problems with the package or tracking, my other items are in order and this is the first time this kind of thing has happened with LDLC.

        I will modify this note when this hard drive is sent back (I hope so)

        in the age of SSDs, hard drives still work

        Obviously, a hard disk is much slower than an SSD. But it is also much cheaper.
        I have Windows and my programs on SSD. I have my data on hard disk. (And my backups on a NAS!)

        Western Digital quality!

        I have rarely had any problems with WD HDDs. This model is no exception. The blue range is not the most powerful, but it is quite reliable in my experience. HDD is sufficient for the office setup I have installed it in. A little over a year of operation, you hardly hear it. It's not the fastest but again, for the price it's perfect.

        Does its job

        I purchased this drive to increase the storage capacity of my machine and it was received very well packaged and functional.

        It was not immediately recognised but my Windows 10 was a bit temperamental so not sure if it was from this one.

        I diagnosed it with 2 programs and everything came out fine, it does what you ask it to do.

        The perfect advice would be to know the average life span for a given use. But my other HDD which is in great shape with 42,000 hours is from the same manufacturer so fingers crossed!

        Good hard drive

        So far nothing to report, it works well. The packaging is correct and the delivery is fast. I find it rather quiet. I have several Western Digital HDDs. One of 250GB is starting to weaken after 15,000 hours of operation, but I have two others of 1TB that are holding up well with respectively 10,000 and 1,14500 hours. So I remain faithful to this manufacturer.

        Typical of WD

        It's a WD drive.
        Mine goes super fast, sequential reads and writes well above normal, beyond the performance of a hdd. I'm not sure how.

        Random 4k performance is completely normal though.

        I think HDDs are a bit expensive in 2019 considering the market share that ssd's are taking with their current price drop. 1TB ssd for a little more than double the price of an HDD is competitive considering the performance gain. But behind that, we know that a hdd will last 10 times longer, which is why I take a WD in addition to my ssd.

        Does its job

        The hard drive works quite fast, it's not an SSD after all. No problem. You can still hear it very slightly when it writes. At least you can tell if it is working. The packaging was very satisfactory for my package.

        satisfied!

        good product, no doubt about it ...
        "I had been told that it would shut down when the computer was turned off (for me a macbook pro running 10.11.6), but this is not the case.
        I have been using it for some time now and it is very easy to use.
        I'm not sure what to do about it, but if you have a suggestion, I'd love to hear it.
