Supplied very quickly in sealed antistatic bag and well packed with bubble wrap very clean condition with no visual problems, fitted OK in my target Toshiba Tecra A9 laptop which had no problems with it. New OS is being loaded without any issues though I will run a surface scan later as a double check but at the moment I will let it load all those updates!! though I do not expect any problems.Price and drive size were great compared to new plus WD generally gets good performance rates and I have found the ones I have had reliable.Well pleased with it so far and touch wood do not expect any problems.

Nach Ausfall der Festplatte in Acer Aspire 5742G habe ich Ersatz für verbaute WD3200BEVT gesucht.Habe die WD3200BPVT eingebaut, obwohl lt. Service Manual und nach Rückfrage bei Acer die Platte nicht zu den offiziell freigegeben Ersatzteilen gehört.Austausch war einfach möglich und Platte konnte mit “Acer eRecovery Management” problemlos in Betrieb genommen werden.Bei Verwendung mit Windows 7 konnte ich keine Einschränkungen gegenüber der ursprünglich verbauten Festplatte feststellen.Im Gegenteil: Die WD3200BPVT bietet zum günstigeren Preis spürbar bessere Leistungsdaten.

It works fine and is according to specifications.Western Digital has never been my favorite brand, but the Blue series seem to have less failures. As a 5400 RPM SATA II drive it is good. The seller send the drive immediately and it was very well packaged, so we added them to the favorite list.

I just replace the hard drive for my 2012 dell 1750 laptop . Blue was factory if you want a step up get the black . But for standard OEM blue is good and price was good . Free shipping

La serie Blue di western digital ha un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Si tratta di un hard disk che riesce ad avere un buon compromesso tra prestazioni, per essere utilizzato come disco di sistema, e prezzo di vendita. Se serve un hard disk per lo storage forse conviene puntare alla serie green, che è ottimizzato per il risparmio di energia.

Bought this for a client to repair a broken drive. Haven’t heard any complaints after several months, I’m sure it is still working great. I’ve used many Western Digital drives for repairs, especially the blue series, both desktop and laptop and have had good results each time. Recommended.

I got this HD to run HDHACKR on it and put this in my XBOX 360 to replace the 20 gig. It works great. The only thing I gave up on was saving my saved games from original xbox. But that has nothing to do with the hard drive, its my lack of ability.

Bought this to give my little netbook some more volume. Since then my computer keyboard has shut down and is very slow but don’t know if it is due to the hard drive or other factors.

So I needed a replacement drive for my PS3 slim after the last one got damaged as the result of a powercut during gameplay. Bad luck for me. Normally you’ll only get corrpution from which you can easily recover, but in my case the drive got damaged. (I verified this by running some diagnostic tools). So I replaced the damaged toshiba 320GB with a WD Scorpio Blue of same size. I’ve always angled towards WD for drives. I have a mybooklive also. Also my IT dept favours them for replacements in work laptops. So far so good, running well. Note to all PS3 owners…replacing is a drive is simples. One Screw, Put it in and switch on. The system formats and prepares the disk for use. you just have a few prompts to accept. Don’t do anything more than that! e.g. like some of the so called “advice” in some forums! Just Plug and Play ! I have to admire Sony for making it so easy.

In all the years I have had computers, and all the computers I’ve had, I finally had a hard-drive fail on me and ironically it was in a mac.Anyway this drive was perfect, took 5 minutes to physically replace in a 2009 Macbook Pro and half an hour later Mountain Lion was freshly installed.Quiet, fast and cheap.

I purchased this to replace the hard drive in my wife’s laptop. the device was shipped in a very timely manner and it was easy to install. I loaded her system restore disks and had no problems with the drive. a good buy. well worth the money I spent and it works as well or better than the original hard drive that came with her laptop.

Bought this drive with an a USB 3.0 external inclosure to create system disk images. Drive performed perfectly without issues. Make sure you are buying the correct color code for your intended use; Western Digital drives come in Blue, Green, Red and Black…a quick visit to their site will help you determine which one will fit your needs.

bought this to stick in a 12g ps3 slim. took me less than 1 minute to fit this to the ps3, fire it up and let it load up the update. quiet reliable drive well worth the money. expect nothing else from a WD. Dont get ripped off buying a sony part. Sony wanted £160 for 250gig drive. 70 gig more for 1/5th of the price of the official sony drive. no brainer.

Easily installed in my Dell XPS m1530 to replace my old and dead original. I’m hoping to have a long and prosperous relationship with it. Also, I received it in two days, one of which was New Years day.

WD Blue 320 GB Mobile Hard Drive: 2.5 Inch, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8 MB Cache – WD3200BPVT
Just wanted to chime in with my experience: if, like me, you have felt frustrated with the storage capacity of your PS3 drive, but aren’t sure you are capable of upgrading it yourself: don’t be intimidated by the process. Even a middle-aged woman Gamer like me can ace it. Couldn’t be easier. Now I wish I’d done it years ago – would have saved a lot of cussing due to inadequate storage space.I was a little nervous, never having done any hardware upgrades before, but in under 10 minutes I was all set. Of course, you’ll want to search out detailed instructions online, but if you’re able to turn a Phillips head screwdriver, you’ll have no problems with the physical end of it.Just remember to back up your saved games, etc on removable media before uninstalling the original drive, and be prepared to face some tedious downloading/installing once the new drive is in. Piece of cake.
I.R –
Works quite happily for the PS3. Upgraded an old Fat 40GB with it and works great. Huge difference in load times esp with games downloaded from PSN store. The price will probably come down when supply can be increased, but for now it’s pretty good.
M.Hemesath –
Was soll man groß über Festplatten schreiben.Nach dem Exodus meiner Laptopfestplatte entschied ich mich nach längerer Recherche für dieses Produkt.Da ich auch in meinem Hautrechner Western Digital Platten nutze und gute Erfahrungen damit gemacht habe sollte sie auch im Laptop zum Einsatz kommen.Sie ist schnell und extrem leise, genau das richtige für meinen Laptop.Für mich kein Fehlkauf und vom Preis- Leistungsverhältnis zu empfehlen.

Drive was exactly as described, fit right into my laptop and worked from the start. You do need to download a drive align software for this drive as it has Advance Format. That too was simple and took little time to complete. Great replacement drive for my old 80 GB.

Ich habe die Platte für meinen Sat Receiver gekauft.Mir kam es vor allem auf eine leise und sparsame Platte an,welche auch noch günstig sein sollte.Da viel meine Wahl auf die WD3200BPVT mit 320GB.Bis jetzt habe ich den kauf noch keine Sekunde bereut.Die Platte läuft sehr leise und der Stromverbrauch war bei WD schonimmer sehr niedrig.Ich kann diese Platte bedenkenlos weiter empfehlen.

My laptop just qut working on me one day (after a few years of owning it) and after some system checks figured out the hard drive had died. I am no tech nerd but after reading reviews on different hard drives, i found that WD is arguably the best. I went with it and am glad I did. It was easy to replace, cost about the same as other brands, and is still running after a couple months use. I would definitely recommend.

My PS3 was having trouble downloading updates and running extremely slow. I read that it may be due to the hard drive. I went to Office Max and they had their hard drives price above $120. I purchased the Western Digital hard drive based on price. I’ve had it a month it works great. My PS3 works like the day I first got it. If you are needing to replace a hard drive, go with this one.

Hard drives are hard drives…..5400 RPM is really the standard RPM for a drive….I like to stick with Western Digital as they seem to be a pretty good work horse for me. I will never buy other brands of drives as they tend to have a higher failure rate. That is not to say that Western Digital does not fail, because they do. They just fail far less in my opinion.

Arrived very quickly and installation was a snap. It is doing what it is supposed to holding data and keeping an older but very loyal Lenovo T61 still chugging along. If you need a hard drive that does what it need to order this one, so far so good!

5 Sterne, weil die Festplatte voll funktionsfähig ist und all das tut, was es tun muss! Diese Festplatte wurde in ein Toshiba Sattelite/Laptop eingebaut, weil egal welche Anwenudng ich ausführen wollte, der Laptop sich für ca. 1 min aufgehängt hat (freeze)!Ich hab gehofft, dass es mit einer neuen Festplatte klappt und tataaaahhh ! So ist es auch gekommen. Diese Platte ist auch extra für Laptop/Notebooks geeignet weil, nicht so empfindlich beim bewegen vom Laptop! Aber trotzdem bin ich eher Vorsichtiger als die Frauen die ich kenne ^^

A bit of homework, stripped the old one out of my Dell Inspiron, waited for the delivery and replaced it with this new one. Very well packaged, on time with the delivery and within 15 mins I had fired up the laptop and was reinstalling the operating system. I’m no expert but this couldn’t have been easier but just make sure you research before doing it.

Exactly what I needed to fix my wife’s laptop after my daughter dropped it and destroyed the old hard drive. Great price. Have a little buyers regret in that I should have went ahead and purchased a larger drive, Dell techs told me a larger drive wouldn’t work…but frequently fixing laptops and the like at work I know better, but on the off chance they were correct for some reason I couldn’t fathom I played it safe and went with the drive that fit their exact specs. However, by buying it here I saved LOTS and LOTS of money rather than buying it directly from Dell.

I purchased this to replace the original 60GB hard drive in my PS3 that I was close to filling up due to a lot more downloading of PS+ titles. The hard drive works great and other than the screws in the PS3 was a very easy install. No issues, just plugged and play for the most part!

I bought this to upgrade my old PS3 (I have the old “fat” 60GB PS3). The whole installation takes maybe 5 minutes. A word to the wise – if you are using this to upgrade your PS3, make sure you have some needle nose pliers or a Gerber handy to get the screws off the hard drive casing. Regular screwdrivers won’t do it. After you format the hard drive to work with the PS3, this HD works like a charm. Reasonable price, too.

I brought this to upgrade my ps3 (fat original) i have had no problems with it it works great & know have lost of space to download the ps+ games. Just be aware that due to some sort of different way the ps3 & harddrive manufactures measure drives it will only show about 298GB once in ps3.

I bought this to upgrade my laptop (Lenovo 3000 N200). It worked without any problems. If you’re using windows xp you just need to go through an extra step to align your partitions using the “WD Align Tool” which you can download from Western Digital’s website. I’ve had no problems with it so far. I’ll update this this review if a problem occurs.EDIT: I have had no problems after 2 years.

This item was a manufacturer’s refurbished HDD, but was willing to give it a try given the low price. A few weeks after it arrived it began to noticeably vibrate. I placed foam padding between the hard drive and the laptop case, but the vibration still comes and goes. In the middle of requesting a return or replacement.

Es hat alles auf Anhieb funktioniert, die Festplatte wurde erkannt und mittels der PS3 Menüführung konnte ich alle Daten von der internen 12GB SSD übertragen. Jetzt ist endlich Platz. Den Preis für die Platte fand ich auch gut. Es gibt sicher auch billigere aber für eine gute Platte muss man auch mal ein bisschen mehr zahlen.

Bought as a replacement for a failing 250GB drive in an eMachines notebook. Easy installation and restore. Everything is working fine so far. I have avoided Western Digital hard drives for a long while because of some issues I had with their drives more than a decade ago. The reviewers seem to regard them very highly and the price was great so I decided to give them another chance. The drive is very quiet and seems to be performing to specifications.

Bought this to upgrade my old style ‘phat’ 40gb PS3. Installation was easy as pie and took 5 mins.Down side? delivery was quite slow and the packaging was a padded envelope – not good enough tbh. Hope it had no knocks during the transit system, lets see if it lasts the test of time!

I work on other people’s laptops all the time (as a hobby). I have not had to replace a WD harddrive – but have had to replace Toshibas, Fujitsus, and Seagates.The WD Blue 320 GB 2.5″ drive is the go-to drive for replacement. Wish it was cheaper, but customers are satisfied with the quality, and I am satisfied that I don’t have to rework a replacement. When a customer wants a bit more performance, I go with the WD Black series.I trust WD because they have not let me down. They are a bit more expensive, but it is worth it for the peace of mind, and the limited time I have to repair other people’s computers. I guess you could say I don’t replace with anything but WD drives, and this one (the Blue 320) is one of my go-to drives for laptop repair. The other go-to drive is the WD Black 320.

This is the sixth WD3200BPVT I have bought, and each one has been excellent. I have put this drive into both external cases and laptops. My oldest WD laptop drive is currently 5 years old, although it is not the same model as this one. I have owned laptop hard drives by Toshiba, Samsung, and Seagate as well, and none can compare to Western Digital in terms of price.As far as performance goes, it is commonly believed that Western Digital is always a touch slower than its competitors. However, I have never seen this performance gap with everyday computing, gaming, video editing, video playing/steaming, or file storage.In case you are wondering, this drive is thin enough to fit into any laptop, because it only has one platter.I will continue to recommend and buy Western Digital for both my laptops and desktops. For my money, I prefer to go with the cheapest, especially when the cheapest is darn good! Buy this drive and you will not regret it.
Tester5 –
Habe die Festplatte als Ersatz für eine defekte interne WD3200BEVT gekauft, da dieses Modell nicht mehr zu einem erschwinglichen Preis lieferbar war. Die BPVT funktioniert problemlos. Wichtig ist nur, nach dem Einbau die neue Platte im BIOS zu bestätigen, sonst funktioniert sie nicht. Perfektes Produkt. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Purchased this for an Xbox upgrade, works great (as expected), shipped faster than the estimated time provided!Pros – Competative price for size of disk compared other sites.Cons – Limited to 5400 rpm, if you are looking for any perfomance 2.5″ HDD’s, go SSD instead.I would recommend this product to those looking to upgrade an older laptop, and/or for xbox upgrade.

Neuer Laptop und leider durch Unachtsamkeit schon nach einem Halben Jahr ging nichts mehr,die Festplatte aht sich verabschiedet,der Fall vom Tisch hatte sie nicht überstanden.Beim PC Service hat man die Rep.mit ca.300€ veranschlagt,nun die Garantie war sowie so hinfällig und so habe ich mich entschieden die Festplatte selber zu wechseln.Also Tante Google gefragt wer am billigsten ist und bestellt.Nach zwei Tagen war die Platte angeliefert ,eingebaut,Windows7 aufgezogen+Treiber und alles funkioniert wieder perfekt.Prima Qualität,läuft sehr leise,schnelle Lieferung.Gern Kaufe ich hier wieder.

Bought this HDD to upgrade my daughter’s PS3 which was only 12GB flash drive. Fitting the Hard Disk was easy and when reconnected took me through the whole process of copying old content etc and was really easy. Would recommend this to everyone.

I purchased this hard drives with the intention on upgrading my slim 4GB model Xbox 360. The hard drive fit into the Xbox 360’s SATA port without case and it is working perfectly. If anybody wants more space for your Xbox 360 Slim 4GB this is the best choice, the WD Blue 320GB HDD.

I got this to upgrade my 20GB Original PS3 and it was so easy to install it, & it works great! It shipped quickly and securely. Who’s joining me on the upgradeable PS4?! Screw you Microsoft DRM policies!

Item arrived by post earlier than expected. I was able to replace the duff one in my Granddaughter’s PC, use the restore DVDs and it was back up and running within the hour. I had previously read some of the reviews and I was a bit sceptical because all they seemed to mention was the Sony Playstation. My Granddaughter’s PC is an Acer and the WD Scorpio Blue works vey well in it.

Have used nothing but WD internal and external HDDs for years after suffering drive failures with other brands.I prefer the WD Black series for speed and WD Green for mass storage on desktop units; but, the WD Blue series for laptops is my favorite laptop drive.

I have this install in an older Dell laptop I use for digital painting. This drive has done very well so far. Not much to say here – just what appears to be a basic – very sound drive.Follow up: This drive has been – as expected – reliable if a tad sluggish. If you want to add some grunt to an older laptop – this drive will not do it. But if you are not in need of a speed increase – this is reliable. Below is some comparisons for people upgrading older systems.I have a D620atg has the Kingston SSDnow, and a D620 has a HGST Travelstar 7200rpm sata3, and finally – a D820 has a Kingrich SSD sata2 (I use an after market media bay drive and put a 5400rpm sata2 drive in it – so the Kingrich has the OSs – one Windows, one Linux and all files are saved to the WD Blue 320. I also have an alt Linux distro and Windows set up on this drive and can boot to it as opposed to the OSs on the Kingrich – via bootgrub).The Kingston is the fastest upgrade. Next up is the Kingrich 32gig SSD sata2 (which is dirt cheap) was a notch below (no surprise). The HGST HDD is a mild surprise. It replaced a 7200 sata1 drive and the difference was pretty amazing. It also seems not too far behind the Kingrich. Plus the 500gigs of space at a good price – makes it an excellent upgrade option for older systems. Note: The extra speed of the HGST comes at a cost. I manually set the cooling fan to high, and keep the laptop on a cooling pad as much as possible. The Dell D620 id fairly small and doesn’t discipate heat all that well. So if you go with a 7200rpm drive – use an after market software – like I8kfanGUI, to manually crank up the internal fan and expect the laptop to get a bit warm compared to using a more modest 5400rpm drive.

Works swimmingly for a PS3 (fat) hard drive replacement. My old one kicked the bucket a few weeks ago and this one plugged right in. I sometimes forget I switched, except for having 4x the storage now! Definitely worth it.

Replaced HD on a Dell Vostro 1500. Cloned the old HD on to this and it resurrected my old XP machine. Bigger, quicker & more efficient, couldn’t be happier.

Needed more room for my 120GB Xbox 360 Elite since I’ve gradually transitioned to going all digital with the console, especially with the Games With Gold program. Instead of spending a crazy amount for the official 320GB drive for it (when I can actually find one for this old model) I decided to buy a compatible drive that I could format myself for it. It took a while but that was mostly due to transferring my large library of content and constant random power outages in my area at the time interrupting my transfer, but once I got it to work I’ve had no problems with it. If you can find the instructions to do this, have the tech know-how, and follow them perfectly, definitely recommend saving money this way.
fiona k warren –
I bought this after a lot of careful research and reading other reviews. I wanted to upgrade my son’s 12gb PS3 so I thought it would be perfect. I followed the instructions but when it gave me an error message saying the disk had to be formatted, I clicked OK (the only option!) and it stuck on 0% completed for hours!!! We have started, re-started etc etc and it still goes to the same screen and the same 0% – even if I take it out and try and start the PS3 on its own I get the same error message – so it has rendered his PS3 completely unusable!!! I emailed the seller to tell them and have had no reply to date (email sent around a week ago now). Very annoyed.

Ich habe mir diese Festplatte gekauft, um den Speicher meiner Playstation 3 zu erweitern.Ich weiß nicht was ich groß schreiben soll: Die Festplatte funktioniert tadellos und arbeitet sehr geräuscharm. Sie wurde nach dem kinderleichten Einbau von der Playstation sofort erkannt und es machte keine Umstände sie “zum Laufen zu bringen”. Mittlerweile benutze ich sie über 2 Monate und habe noch keine Fehler oder sonstige Probleme festgestellt.Von daher: Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die ihre Playstation “erweitern” wollen!

L’ho montato gia ad alcuni amici con problemi di rottura hdd (in tutti i casi Toshiba e Seagate), ma avuto alcun tipo di problema. è l’ideale per notebook che non cercano la prestazione estrema o per inserirlo in un box esterno da 2,5″. In ogni caso WD è sinonimo di qualità

Works great. Does what it’s supposed to. Didn’t notice any speed/performance difference with this model using Advanced Format versus any other hard drive. Had to download the Advanced Format driver from the WD website. I trust the WD brand and only buy their hard drives for all my needs. Only had one out of 20 crap out on me in all my experiences. Bought it to replace my previous hard drive, and try to solve my heat issue coming from my laptop HDD bay, but it did not solve my problem. Still using it anyways.

Hard drive worked fine so far. The price was good and delivered on time. Hope it works better than the Hitachi which lasted 2 years only.

Great replacement drive for an older system. Never had one problem with Western Digital Drives. They’ve always lasted as long as they say. I never trust a drive more than 5 years old by the way. Just replace it. They are inexpensive enough to justify. So keep that in mind if you want solid, problem free performance.

Damage –
Not being in the slightest bit interested in the workings of technology, I was a little anxious when attempting to upgrade our Playstation, necessary after purchasing GTA5 online and then being told that what we had was not sufficient. Tell me first before taking my money please Sony. Living in the Middle East means we had to purchase game online rather than the disc which I would normally have done. Anyway, the actual swap took two minutes, very easy but the Playstation gave an error reading. Half an hour of reading online and I realised that I had not pushed the hard drive back into the ps sufficiently. I did and since then it’s all been good.

Not all laptops are easy to repair or upgrade. Easy access to the guts of a Macbook Pro made this a quick job.Immediately recognized by the Disk Utility, partitioned fast, full S.M.A.R.T compatibility for modern Mac OSX.
cynthia c. –
This hard drive was late getting to me because of a technology crash at the company that ships it. However, when it arrived and was installed, it worked properly. So far, I have not complaints about the product. I only deduct one start from perfect because it was late getting to me, and I have not had it installed very long, so for the long range future, I am not sure if it will perform satisfactorily yet.

This drive has the features you want when replacing a laptop drive. Make sure this drive is compatible with the laptop it will be installed into; this on is a slim version which was necessary for my Dell. My Toshiba uses a slightly thicker drive. Great value, great price!
Starbuck –
Schnelle Lieferung, guter Preis. Das erstmal vorweg. Mein Sohn hat eine PS3 mit 40GB und war schon lange damit unzufrieden, weil er ständig wieder was löschen musste. Darauf hin habe ich ihm die Festplatte gegönnt 😉 Er ist bestens zufrieden damit. Sie läuft sehr leise und ist auch relativ schnell eingebaut. Was gibt es schöneres als gut gelaunte Teenager? 🙂

Used this to repalce a factory 320gb that shipped with my unit new. Most of the hard drives in PS3’s are crap, plan on replacing yours due to failure or just for the read/write speed increase. Simple to install this HD comes highly recommended by nerds.

Nutze diese Festplatte seit knapp einem Jahr.Ich nutze sie als externe Festplatte und zwar hauptsächlich für private Dateien (Bilder, Videos und Musik), auf die ich nicht jeden Tag zugreifen muss. Da reichen die 320 GB perfekt, es ist nicht zu klein aber auch nicht zu groß.Der Zugriff auf die Dateien erfolgt flott, genau wie das Speichern oder Kopieren von neuen Dateien.Sie erfüllt ihren Zweck wunderbar ohne jegliche Fehler seit dem ersten Tag.Bis jetzt hat sie 5.000+ Stunden in Betrieb hinter sich.Ich finde sie sehr leise, eigentlich nicht zu hören.Sie ist für meinen Geschmack mit ~35 MB/s Lesegeschwindigkeit auch schnell.Beim Lesen / Schreiben wird sie auch nie spürbar warm und schon gar nicht heiß.Von mir gibt es eine Kaufempfehlung.

Our laptop hard drive was damaged. We wondered if it would be worth paying for a new drive just to chance that something else was wrong so our purchase would have been for nothing. Our laptop was barely 6 mos new so we did not want waste a new laptop either. So we ordered the new hard drive and it’s been at least a month since its been installed and so far our laptop has been working the same as before it was damaged. The drive was about $83.00 including taxes and shipping. We recommend doing this to save money esp. if your laptop is still fairly new!

I used this drive to replace a failed Toshiba drive in a friend’s HP laptop. I’ve worked with personal computers since 1985 and mainframes from the 1964. I’ve never had a hard drive fail. Read about it but never experienced it on any of my many personal computers. At first I thought I could restore her computer but it was a true HD failure. Copied all of the HP partitions onto this new drive and after a bit of work all was well.

When the Samsung drive in my laptop started making the occasional death throes of the motor going out, I put this little guy on order. You can go bigger these days, but in my case this was a replacement issue… the upgrade was just from shopping for the best bang for the buck at the time (which with hard drives changes, so don’t quote me on this tomorrow). In general Western Digital has been an excellent and reliable manufacturer of hard drives and after years of being a nerd both at home and professionally, it’s the brand I trust. They have great diagnostic tools available for download to verify your drive’s integrity upfront and clone your current drive if it’s an upgrade or total backup situation. Every manufacturer of hard drives has their duds, that’s life when dealing with high tech. As with any upgrade, back up your data first and regularly. If there are any problems WD has easy to use diagnostic tools that can sometimes fix minor issues and spit out RMA codes you can send to WD for replacement for major ones. The nice part is, with WD, the odds are low you’ll ever have to worry about it. Drives have motors and sensitive material in them… they vary in wear and tear just like any other high tech devices of the same caliber. But for longevity I’ve had the best luck with WD. And their prices ain’t bad either. I might sound biased, but after over a decade in the business, and drives of my own of various manufacturers dating back to the 80s… some which still work, I think I’ve earned my stripes to say so.

Mi sono affidato a Western Digital in quanto leader nella produzione di hard-disk. Dal giorno che l’ho ordinato, all’arrivo a casa mia, sono passati più di cinque giorni e l’imballaggio era orrendo: del semplice cartone fermato da due giri di nastro adesivo e dentro il prodotto. Non dico che mi aspettavo lo scatolo originale, ma un po’ di buon senso nel realizzare gli imballaggi per questi tipi di prodotti serve. Prodotto eccellente, imballaggio e servizio di spedizione (per quanto riguarda la mia esperienza) penoso. Tre stelle, e sono pure troppe.

Nachdem meine alte Festplatte von meinem Laptop den Geist aufgegeben hatte, habe ich mich für Diese entschieden.Habe mir sagen lassen das Western Digital, bei den Herstellern, ganz vorne dabei ist. Nun ist sie endlich verbaut und ich bin wieder glücklich :)Sie ist sehr sehr leise, völlig ungewohnt für mich :)320 GB sind für mich, als ”normal” Userin völlig ausreichend, werde die Speicherkapazität sicher nicht ausschöpfen.Wer eine solide Festplatte für kleines Geld sucht, sollte hier zugreifen. Ich habe es gern getan 😉

J’ai pris ce disque dur a l’époque pour ma playstation 3 super slim . Il fonctionne parfaitement mais a quelques “latences” quelque fois ce qui fait laguer le jeux , je déconseille pour cette utilisation et le gaming en général , peut etre suffisant pour de petit pc

I rated it a 5 because it was a good price, it was delivered on time, in good condition, the installation was easy, the reinstall of the OS was easy, and the drive works. I have not had any problems with the product.
Dale Lambers –
A perfect match for the failed drive in my laptop! No problem at all.

Worth ever penny. Will buy another when repairing other laptops. Always have found that Western Digital has some of the strongest.

A simple review: I bought this for someone else’s computer and haven’t heard anything negative yet. What else is there to say?
ChemE_75 –
got this 2 yrs ago or so as a clone for work notebook so I could dual boot into company windows on one HD or on plain ole windows on this HD – use it in eSATA case and it is perfect. Company win version is very restricted so I needed a way to dual boot without being able to partition the native HD – using it as eSATA solves the problem so I can my engineering software on my own windows and then reboot into company win for accessing the shared drives in the domain. Worked out great for my needs.

Dude it works like a charm 🎉
Paul Donald –
The cable connector is flaky and needs a nudge every now and then to get it to work. Have to open up the laptop to do it. Poor.
Fraser McKain –
Excellent, I now no longer have to delete everything off my PS3 when I install a new game!
Vito MAZZILLI –
Nonostante l’inconveniente con il primo ordine (smarrito???), questo è arrivato puntualissimo.Facile da montare ed installare, subito riconosciuto dal sistema.Ieri sera già operativo sulla consolle.Per ora tutto OK.p.s.grazie nuovamente per il modo in cui avete gestito il problema del primo ordine.

No problems with this drive. Installed and worked as expected. Only negatives, it came with no instructions (bulk type packaging), but that’s not a big deal since I didn’t really need anything, and it came with only a 6 month warranty from the seller. I don’t know, maybe WD would still honor their standard warranty for this series.
Jade –
My 2 year old laptop finally reached its death. It sounded like a mouse was having a field day in there! I bought this, which was a 100GB upgrade.Western Digital has had a stellar rating since the 1980s which is hard to keep up.Works great and i’ve had no issues yet.
Cornelius –
Amazing, works well for the PS3 and now I can have all my games installed at the same time instead of uninstalling and reinstalling games, 5 out of 5.

I have already 6 months using this HD everything is fine and faster . I have the computer on my server and this is working 24 hours x 7

These drives are very temperamental due to there advanced file system, it will work on some laptops but not all. The problem is there is no way of knowing in advance of you purchasing if it will work and the description doesn’t mention this!

I did some research and was able to get this drive to work on my XBOX 360 Slim. I recommend buying this bare drive and the slim cases on here. Works great in my XBOX 360 Slim without any issues. Only problem I had with my XBOX 360 slim’s was when I did the transfer over, it wiped the other drive. So I have no backup of my saves and it was a pain to go back and repurchase the downloads and to replay some of my games over again. Yes, I could have it saved to the cloud but I’m not a firm cloud believer yet. Right now, I’m enjoying most of the games I have just to replay it over again. The rest will take awhile to get the trophies back but pretty soon I will be moving down the road to bigger and better gaming system.

The hard drive works well, unfortunately the video card was going bad so had to pass the laptop on where the technician was able to use the parts to beef up other systems for people in need!

Very happy I bought it. It arrived on time and didn’t have any issues with it. Unless you find some HDD that’s the same size but a lot cheaper, I recommend this one.

Facile da installare sia sul caddy che nella ps 3, come tutti gli HD perde una trentina di GB una volta installato.Prezzo di mercato.
Davide Tropea –
L’ho acquistato nell’estate 2013 per ampliare la memoria della PS3 super slim, precedentemente dotata di 12GB di storage flash, non ci sono particolari problemi nell’inserimento e si integra alla perfezione. Una volta inserito a console spenta viene chiesto di trasferire tutti i dati dalla memoria flash precedente, l’installazione avviene in automatico. Da ricordare la necessità del carrello Sony per inserire correttamente l’hard disk.

Great drive fast service, very happy would buy again.

Item arrived by post earlier than expected. I was able to replace the duff one in my Granddaughter’s PC, use the restore DVDs and it was back up and running within the hour. I had previously read some of the reviews and I was a bit sceptical because all they seemed to mention was the Sony Playstation. My Granddaughter’s PC is an Acer and the WD Scorpio Blue works vey well in it.

Che velocità. In effetti ne avevo bisogno in fretta, e così é stato. Hard disk non ad alte prestazioni, ma per quello che deve fare va benissimo.
O. Giese –
Produkt hielt ca. 6 Monate, danach defekt. Von Reklamation wurde abgesehen, da es den Aufwand bei dieser Preislage nicht lohnt (Daten sichern, Verwaltungskram, Daten rücksichern). Nachdem auch eine andere Festplatte von WD weniger als zwei Jahre gehalten hat, bin ich nun weg von WD und bevorzuge daher wieder andere Anbieter. Bspw. hält meine Seagate-Platte – obwohl diese umzugsbedingt mehr mitgemacht hat – immer noch. Gleiches gilt für Seagate-Platten in der Vergangenheit. Habe aber auch mit Hitachi und Samsung bereits gute Erfahrungen gemacht.

Wurde als Ergänzung zur PS3 SSlim 12 GB erworben und mittels Einbaurahmen zusätzlich eingebaut. Nach Vorabinformation im I-Net bzgl. der notwendigen technischen Schritte gab es keine Probleme beim Einbau.Die PS hat den Rest selbsständig erledigt und nun läuft die Platte – hoffentlich sehr lange – .

Diese Festplatte ist wirklich super und absolut zu empfehlen. Problemlos sowohl in Docking-Stations als auch im direkten Einbau. Sehr positiv ist mir die Schnelligkeit dieser Platte aufgefallen. Im Vergleich mit anderen ähnlichen Festplatten würde ich sagen 1+
Happy Buyer –
Bought this item to replace it on a friend’s laptop. It came perfectly packed and the item is as I was expecting.I opted to purchase a 2 year warranty, as the hard drive that died on the laptop was the same brand and model. I could have purchased a better one, but I opted to keep the manufacturer’s original choice for it.

I bought this as a replacement for the same model of hard drive which failed after a few years. I would give it no stars, but it seems to be working well and the bad experience was just with the same manufacturer/model of product. So three to be fair. Time will tell if it works well.
boostedskyline –
I picked this hard drive to replace my PS3’s old 40gb hard drive, it works great, just took me a while to figure out to go into the ps3 safe mode and format the entire ps3 system, not just the data base, do that if anybody buying this for the ps3 gets the error message as soon as you turn on the system, “CANNOT START SYSTEM, HARD DISK NOT FOUND” although it should just prompt you to format the disk as soon as you turn the system on, anyways great product, worth the buy

Bought this to replace my old Thinkpad T61 hard drive. You can see its 5400 rpm in the way it performs. But overall its cheap, works just fine and if you arent too keen on the performance of a 7200 rpm disk, this is the one for you.

I needed this drive to replace a crashed 2007 Black MacBook hard drive. It arrived unformatted, so I just plugged it into the Mac, started up the machine, put in the OSX install CD, formatted the drive, and the install started clean. It was magical how simple and fast it was (about a half hour). No complaints whatsoever. With this drive, you get what you get, but if you are buying this now, it is more for compatibility and price than anything else. Can’t really go wrong with a simple Western Digital drive.
Christian Jean –
Ce disque dur pour une ancienne machine est parfait. Sa vitesse de transfert en USB est de plus de 40MB/S ce qui est très bien en USB2. produit d’un excellent rapport qualité prix.

W. RADIO –
This hard drive was bought to replace an original (failed) HD in an HP Pavilion dm4-1160us machine.I have all the restore discs on DVD as created when the machien was new, but HP, in its infinite wisdom appears to have “cloned’ the full size of the original hard drive (500 gig) which then is spanned across the DVD restore discs. Thus, when attempting to do a system recovery, the HP said, “not enough room” on the new Hard drive to restore from the discs.if you have an HP with restore discs, you’ll need a drive as large or larger as the original for restoring, or…another edition of Windows that can be activated on a smaller drive. Just a “heads up”…Drive itself is FINE…and is functioning easily during restore.

I have two of these in a RAID1 on a file server to store the OS (Ubuntu 12.04). A separate 12-disk hardware RAID6 of WD Red disks stores the 18TB of data.Pro: Works out of the box. No difficulties setting up the partition and inserting it into the software raid (mdadm) and synchronizing it with the existing RAID.Cons:1. This replaced a WD Blue disk that had gone bad after only 1 year of light use. (The Red disks store the data and get moderate use, the Blue disks only store the OS and get very light use)2. This is the new ultra-slim thickness for thin laptops, which meant that it didn’t fit into my HD mount correctly and required some finagling. The only reason that annoys me is that I checked WD’s website before buying and it explicitly listed it as normal thickness, which is not true.
Hugo Enrique de la Rosa Jimenez –
Installed on a HP Pavilion 9700 series from 2008. My old laptop runs windows Vista. Internet browsers are not being supported on this version of Windows so I decided to switch to Linux mint.Most of the noises the old hard drive made are gone.This has given my laptop a few more years of life.Thanks.

…soll man hier schon groß sagen. Gute HDD, guter Preis. Ich habe diese Platte in einen 5 Jahre alten Laptop mit Head Crash eingebaut. Die inst. eines neuen Windows verlief ohne Probleme (was kann eine HDD dafür wenn sich einige hier nicht mit IT auskennen?) Dafür ist sie im Preis Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut. Sehr leise und, für die Ansprüche der Anwenderin in Punkto Kapazität und Geschwindigkeit absolut Ausreichend.

Pretty sturdy Hard Drive. I used this hard drive for the xbox360 and it runs well. stays cooler than the WD Black 320. I would not recomend this drive for high performance needs, but for medium or low performance needs it is perfect.

As with several other WD drives I have purchased in the past, it does the job as advertised. I’ve had Seagate, Samsung and Maxtor drives fail at what I considered an early age but never had a WD drive actually fail. I have had to replace them because of upgrades for size or interface but not because of failure.
Alex –
Il prodotto sembra molto buono, e sono soddisfatto del mio acquisto. La nota dolente è la consegna, il corriera SDA non riuscendo ad arrivare a consegnarlo in giornata ha scritto che il destinatario, al primo tentativo, non era a casa. Il giorno dopo è arrivato. Ho usato tutti i corrieri possibili e la SDA è sicuramente quello peggiore.
biker boy –
the old hard drive was causing the screen to lock up almost everytime I used the computer. With the new hard drive installed, the computer is so fast. Size and speed of the new hard drive are the same as the old one.Installation was difficult since the old laptop used Vista. Had to have the computer geeks at work help me with formatting the hard drive the same as the old one, “imaging”, and downloading all the updates; took about 8 hours over two days. Required additional equipment one of the guys had which inserted the old hard drive and used a USB cord to the laptop with the new hard drive.

This hard drive is a perfect replacement. If you need to upgrade your hard drive space, or if your hard drive has become faulty, which causes freezing, to your ps3, and needs to replace the standard toshiba one that comes with every ps3 nowadays then buy this hard drive instead. By replacing your hard drive with this one you can be able to enjoy your gaming once again.I bought this hard drive as my one had become faulty after 2 and half years of use. No regrets
Dave –
Western Digital makes really good drives. I replaced the smaller defective Seagate drive with this one.The laptop is noticeably faster with the new drive. If I can I always use WD drives, over the past 15 yearsor so I can’t recall more than a single failure. I have built or repaired many PC’s so this is a stellar record.

I’ve used plenty of WD hard drives in the past and they’ve never failed me or given me any problems. So when the Toshiba hard drive in my laptop died it was a no brainier to go with WD, and I’m glad I did. Works like a dream. Almost wishing I’d bought a bigger one…

Hard disk dalle caratteristiche standard niente di miracoloso, ottimo da abbinarea case esterni come unità di backup.

I bought it 6 months ago, and just tried to replace it into my computer. Best buy was reinstalling everything for me and I brought them this hard drive and they said it did not work. The guy at apple said to buy this one so I know it was the correct one for my computer. I am very disappointed and they won’t give me my money back because it is past the 3 month limit. Karma will get people who sell broken equipment so I’m not worried.

Vincent Zinkus –
Bought this in addition to my Nalgene 48oz Silo, and am glad I did. It screws on to the Nalgene (and most other wide mouth bottles with the same size opening) and reduces the opening to a smaller, more manageable size. Allows easy sipping and pouring. The cap comes in two pieces, the large portion that screws to the bottle, and the smaller cap that screws to the larger portion. There is a plastic strap that connects the two and keeps the smaller cap from being lost. Together they are very leakproof and do not drip at all. My only issue so far is that there is a way to accidentally pop the smaller cap off of the plastic strap. If you happen to bend the strap down and away from the small cap where the strap meets the ring that runs around the cap, then that ring can be opened slightly and the cap will pop out. It seems like this could be resolved by slightly increasing the diameter of the small cap while keeping the slot that holds the ring its current size. Not a big issue unless you happen to pop the cap off in the middle of nowhere.

while the hard drive has been working fine for a few months (on an old vaio), it was necessary to use the acronis bootable cd (created with acronis true image wd edition) in order to clone the os from my previous dying hdd, which was connected to the laptop via usb enclosure. It was not possible to clone the os in true image by connecting the the new hdd via usb enclosure to the booted laptop (option was greyed out) and it was not possible to use the os installation dvds for a clean install.So in short these were the steps you might want to try if stuck (the requirement here is that your old hdd isn’t completely dead):1) download Acronis True Image WD Edition from WD scorpio blue download section2) use the software to burn a bootable cd with the entire program on it3) install your new scorpio blue hdd on the laptop and insert your old hdd in a sata usb enclosure4) boot the cd from your laptop and access true image5) navigate to the cloning window and connect your enclosed old hdd via usb, it will appear in a list of sources6) clone and you’re good to goUPDATE: the hard drive is now dead, it lasted about two years and since a few months ago it started getting some BSOD…I tried formatting it but it is now not unresponsive and producing a micro ticking sound.

It does its job well, storing my files with the best of them and has been reliable for roughly a year. These types of drives are basically commodities, and I can imagine that there are other drives that would be a perfect substitute, particularly in the 5400 RPM category; however this was (and still appears to be) one of the cheaper options and is from a reputable company.Overall I would recommend this product, although not so much that I wouldn’t recommend a similar Seagate model if it were even the slightest bit cheaper.

I usually steer clear of Western Digital drives, as I have had very poor luck with them over the years. I only purchased this one due to the price and the fact that it was a direct fit for a replacement drive in my laptop.

Well I bought this product because I was upgrading my ps3 for memory I have a 80gig ps3 so I thought that the 320 would be enough. I am so glad I got it everything worked smoothly, I am really happy with the product.

My laptop has been experiencing issues due to overloading too many files and I guess overheating. Anyway I bought this because I wanted to be on my computer again and I couldn’t bare to see it collecting dust. So I bought this to replace the old one it had and oh yeah! My laptop came back to Life!! 🙂

I bought this hard drive as a replacement to my existing laptop drive as I need more space and better access speed and so far I am pretty happy with this WD blue. It is quiet and definitely offers better speed. I am really happy for the price and WD products have been proven to be trustworthy time and time again.

I have never had a issue with a WD hard drive. I have looked every were for a reasonable replacement for a failed drive and was able to find it cheaper and for a larger capacity. This product only contains a Hard Drive and nothing else which saves on cost.

I love Western Digital hard drives, I believe out of all the years I’ve been dealing with Western Digital, I think I’ve only had one hard drive to be defective.
Steve –
Wow, I went back & forth for days after my son dropped his Toshiba A215, and finally decided to take a long shot at replacing the hard drive myself for $75 vs. ordering a new laptop for $500. I figured I had about a 50/50 chance of this working and less than a 50% chance of being able to return the drive for a refund once I opened it and tried to install. (Let me say that I started out not even knowing where the hard drive was.)Guess what? I got this the next day, carefully unpacked it, then dropped it, then installed it (6 screws and a wiggle & push) and started the recovery CD. Found the HD right way and we had our laptop back, literally good as new!** Actually better, since it now has twice the previous HD capacity. Oh, and it’s quieter.* Funny to see the factory installed desktop again, complete with Napster, and promo links to other defunct products & services from 2007!Plus, this was the one time in my life when I actually had a more or less current backup of the data from the dead HD.

I’m using this as a secondary drive to record tv through my tv tuner. At first I was weary of using a 5400 RPM drive because I wanted absolutely no lag when playing back the recordings, but that hasn’t been an issue at all. The speed is great and it is very silent.

To tell the truth, hard disks should be reviewed after some months. However, the brand is strong and my past experiences with WD products is very satisfying in terms of performances and reliability.The disk is not preformatted, I did with EaseUs.It’s working inside a Konig enclosure without any problem. Data transfer at 24 Mb/s.It runs cool and silent.

I found this price to be very competetive. Now it works just as I expected it to. Now I know just what to get when I experience difficulties with my hard drive. The best thing is I know where to get it from as well..

It was reasonably cheap and it proved remarkably easy to install so that’s good. Honestly, it’s a pretty basic hard drive and I haven’t had it long enough to evaluate its long-term reliability so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to say.
Steven Cummins –
Added to my PS3, I appreciate the extra space. Don’t really need any extra speed as it is such an old console. Mainly looking for cheap extra space, it works well for this purpose.

It is still holding out after 2 years usage and I havent had any problems. I used it previously for recording gameplay footage in a Happauge HDPVR then I started using it as a backup drive for my laptop. I now use it as my primary drive for my PS3. After formatting it a tone of times it still read and writes well and I havent had any problems, not even a single error.

For the money, this was the perfect solution to the issues a friend was having with a 4 year old Dell laptop.She didn’t need very much space or high speeds, and the price was right in line with her budget!

I have the old 60GB Limited edition (with the shiny faceplate-thing) PS3 that Sony stopped selling not long after release as it had faults. Mine is still perfect, but the 60GB of storage was just no where near enough. I had to purchase an 80GB external hdd compatible with my PS3 to be able to transfer over my old, full hard drive data onto. Followed an easy tutorial on YouTube and bam! The data transfer took around 3 hours both ways, my users and accounts all intact on the new hdd. So my old PS3 has been upgraded from 60 to 320GB with little to no faults. I’m not sure if this is compatible with the PS3 slims, only the first generation PS3. Extremely useful purchase.

bought this to stick in a 12g ps3 slim. took me less than 1 minute to fit this to the ps3, fire it up and let it load up the update. quiet reliable drive well worth the money. expect nothing else from a WD. Dont get ripped off buying a sony part. Sony wanted £160 for 250gig drive. 70 gig more for 1/5th of the price of the official sony drive. no brainer.

Bought this to replace my old Thinkpad T61 hard drive. You can see its 5400 rpm in the way it performs. But overall its cheap, works just fine and if you arent too keen on the performance of a 7200 rpm disk, this is the one for you.

I haven’t posted this review straight away, I wanted a couple of month of use before I did. I bought this for my new 12GB Super Slim PS3. Installation was easy, it’s all fairly automatic when you install it, it detects and formats the drive. It’s a 320GB drive but it was actually less and the final storage space after formatting is 298MB. Then I had to install various updates. Still, after having a 60GB hard drive in my original fat PS3 which died of the YLOD, it’s nice to have plenty of space for games, music etc. I almost went for a 500GB but it was overkill for me. In use I’ve had no problems at all while playing games or anything else. No speed issues, pausing or anything else. I bought the official mounting bracket too which fit perfectly. I’m looking for something negative to say about it but it’s a hard drive that does what it’s supposed to so I can’t say anything bad about it. Works perfectly.Update (15th Aug 2013). Just now and then my games crash while playing and I have no option but to unplug the PS3 and restart. I don’t know if the issue is with the drive or the PS3, both bought at the same time but it only happens now and then (at the time of writing).

Do tre stelle perché si sa ci sono prodotti migliori ma per un computer di classe media va più che bene.Prodotto con buona velocità di trasmissione dati.Lo sconsiglio a chi non è in grado di inizializzare un HD nuovo perché se non viene inizializzato il computer non lo riconosce e quindi non è visibile ne utilizzabile.Se volete inizializzarlo e non sapete come fare vi scrivo una mini guida qui sotto:fare clic col tasto destro su computer cliccare su gestione dopo di che gestione disco.Cercate il nuovo HD nell’elenco che vi esce cliccate tasto destro sul nuovo HD e cliccate inizializza disco inizializzatelo mettendo la spunta su MBR.Dopo averlo inizializzato il pc lo riconoscerà ma sarà con l’opzione non allocata quindi ancora inutilizzabile per ovviare al problema basta formattare il disco al completamento della formattazione è pronto all’utilizzo.

The headline, by NO means, means to drop this on purpose to test it! It means that my child dropped her laptop the first time and damaged the original hard drive and that I bought this one and it survived a second drop; though I almost had a heart attack.There have been no problems since it was installed and for the drop survival alone, I’d buy it again.

Acquistato per espandere la memoria la ps3 da 12 gb. Ottimo hard disk, veloce e abbastanza silenzioso.Da tenere in considerazione però che una volta effettuata l’istallazione sulla ps3 la memoria effettivamente disponibile è di circa 270 gb (comunque più che abbondante per quel che mi riguarda). Ne consiglio sicuramente l’acquisto!Anche la spedizione è stata perfetta sia come imballaggi sia come tempi di consegna.

I’ve had this in my laptop (replaced smaller capacity drive) for a while now. I have to say it’s never missed a beat. It’s quite and the read / write speed is excellent. Boot up of the laptop is much better than the one I replaced and all round, performs really well. Would recommend without hesitation.

Ever since my SSD crashed, I’ve been paranoid about backing up my hard drive. I bought this hard drive purely to clone my existing work laptop’s drive and be available as a backup in the event of a crash. It is sloooooow. I tested it against another 7200 disk and the other disk read at 94000 KB/s while this one read at 77,000 KB/s. sloooooow. The SSD, which crashed on me and is being RMA’d, is SOOOOOO much faster. But I give this WD disk 5 stars for being cheap and hopefully reliable, bc that’s what I need it for… as a reliable backup.

My nieces laptop harddrive started having errors, eventually resulting in being unable to boot. I was able to salvage all of her documents and pictures, but ended up doing a reinstall from scratch using this new hard drive. Honestly, what can you say? It’s a hard drive, and runs at low RPM for durability in laptop use. The price was low since it’s not by any means bleeding edge, but for a netbook it’s perfect.Oh, and my nieces laptop is working fine since the drive was replaced, so the operation was a success.

Tried it in two laptops, just to be sure. Weird sounds from the drive, not detected by bios. Then, upon closer inspection of the sticker attached to the drive, noted the drive is “Re-certified.” Nowhere in the product description did it say it was going to be a re-certified (ie used) drive. Mine arrived from Storite, I only mention this because the seller for this item seems to have changed.

I got this item for my brother for his playstation. It’s more because of the seller than the product as to why it’s a one star. I ordered a brand new item, and paid extra for the 2 day shipping so I could receive it before thanksgiving. I was shipping it to my mom’s house instead of mine, because I live 1 block away from a bad neighborhood, and there are secure locks in my apartment, and I didn’t want the postal man to lay it outside on the front porch. It did get shipped to address I wanted just in time, and when my mom gave it to me, I opened it, and saw that it was a refurbished item. Having to pay extra for the 2-day shipping, and the condition supposedly “new” I was pretty upset to see that it was used. Now that I’m back home, 2 hours away from my mother’s house, I have to resend it, and order a new one from a different company, and get it shipped to my apartment which will probably get stolen, then I will have to report it, and etc, etc.However, instead of going through all that, I am going to resent it, then I may have to buy it from a store, where I will have to spend an extra 30 bucks than what I would on here, but I have no choice.The company decided to contact me and apologized about the issue and gave me my money back and said they would give me a full refund and ship me a new one. So I decided I would give them another chance and told them a different address to ship it to, which is in a different state than the first one, and they shipped it to the state that the first one was shipped to so I didn’t even get it, and by this point I was flustered, I emailed them and told them to forget it. They said they would send me another one, so I was like fine. I ordered another hard drive from a different company and figured I would send the one I ordered back if this one “the third one” would actually be correct. Boy was I wrong! They finally sent me one to the correct address, and guess what ….It was a refurbished hard drive. 3 times I dealt with these people, 3 times unpleased with my order. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!! MARK PATEL IS A CHEAP SCAPE!!! I WOULD NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THIS PLACE SELLS THAT IS “NEW” BECAUSE IT IS NOT. THANK YOU MARK PATEL FOR THE USELESS HARD DRIVE I HAVE.

This is a pretty popular drive largely because they are fairly reliable. Seagate seems to have run into quality issues. I had one of these drives fail in the past and it was really no problem to have WD replace it without having a receipt or anything. I think they can tell by the serial number how old it is. The price is as low as anyone so it’s a drive worth considering. I bought this particular one as a replacement for a second hand laptop that had no hard drive installed.

Replaced a faulty hard drive of an old compaq presario v6000 with this and now it works like new. I little slower than what I’m used to but that’s expected with 5400 rpm. Delivery was fast and my laptop works so I’m satisfied!

Read too much before cracking open a playstation to upgrade from a 40g in the fat PS. This one had many, many well deserved great reviews Easy install, a few weeks later still up and running. Would buy again.

Best $51.13 investment for an older investment. This Harddrive is the predecessor to the WD3200BEVT I had in my Dell Inspiron 1545. It burned out in Feb. 2012, the very next week I bought a cheaper $400 HP 2000-427CL and threw my Dell in the closet. It took me 8 months to muscle up the gambling courage to buy another hard drive(actually my cousin reminded me by asking where’s the Dell while using my HP). Did some research, I wanted to buy the same company + model, didn’t want to take a chance upgrading to a 500GB. Though I should’ve took a chance on the 500GB, I already have 4 external hard drives(2 WDs – 500GB, 1.5TB; 2 Seagates – 1GB, 2GB). Videos, movies & music, I’m 31 go figure.The best about dusting off the Dell is that it has Intel Core 2 Duo(2x 2GHz) as oppose to the AMD Radeon HD Dual Core(2x 1.64GHz) my HP has which means my: 1. HD PVR 2 records smooth with no pixel flashes nor screen jumps 2. Sony Movie Platinum 12’s preview screen plays HD 1080p & 720p 14mb mp4s smooth in “Preview Quality”(no proxy files needed!!)It took a couple hours to re-install Windows Vista + all the necessary drivers. 1 Hour to upgrade free to Service Pack 2(it came with SP1, SP2 is needed for Sony Movie 12).Then another 3-4 hours to install the approx. 90 updates via Windows Update.My newer HP, the cheap one, was so cheap from Sam’s Club, it didn’t come with any backup Re-installation Discs. I was too happy after purchase I didn’t even care.Finally, those with Windows 7 know that Windows Media Player 12 plays MP4s. Well Windows Vista WMP 11 DOESN’T and some of my folders are bunched up with both wmv & mp4. BUT I FOUND THE PERFECT FREEWARE PLAYER THAT DOES, it’s DAPlayer([…]), plays all media including blu-ray & wmv. I say this because others like VLC, RealPlayer, Gom, etc. don’t play 720p+ HD videos smooth on laptops.

Works great for computers but I used it to increase the capacity on my PS3 about 6 mo. ago and it’s been great so far. Western Digital makes excellent hard drives. I’ve purchased a few over the last couple of years for computer repairs and none have failed yet.

Cant beat this drive for the price and stability. Its been my “go-to” for a couple years now. I have never had one fail on me, not to say it wont, but it hasnt happened yet.

Very easy to install although you will need the mounting bracket which is cheap to buy. My ps3 only froze once since I had it and that was on the second time I used it. Had it a couple of months now with no worries or concerns, have lots of space now. Cheap great product.

This drive performs very well in a Lenovo T400. It is as quiet as the OEM version and is slightly faster as well. For those needing an easy replacement for a failing hard drive, this is a very good and cost effective option.

My Acer 7741Z’s HDD bit the dust…It was the same model, but this new replacement has been working through video and photo editing for the past year now. Great and fast replacement, seemingly reliable. WD makes good stuff.

Bought this drive to replace the original drive in my laptop. I didn’t have any problems installing it and my BIOS found the drive without any issues. Was able to reload Windows XP Pro in a short period of time and have not had any problems with the drive itself. It’s quiet and speed is the same as the OEM my laptop came with. My laptop runs almost non-stop and so far so good.

On my spare laptop I ended up getting a virus that corrupted the entire hard drive and had to get a new one. This is the one I decided upon and when I got this, I installed it and ended up installing Ubuntu 12.10 on it. So far I have not had any issues with the hard drive and Ubuntu easily recognized the hard drive.

Schnell geliefert, nachdem Einbau habe ich versucht meine Wiederherstellungs-CD’s zu verwenden, dies ging leider nicht. Wenn man keinen Bekannten hat (soll sehr mühselig sein), kann die Festplatte nur vom Fachmann wieder hergestellt werden und dies ist bestimmt teuer, das sich nicht mehr und kauft dann lieber einen neuen Laptop.

Great hard drive as to be expected with western digital. For the money it is a good price for 320 gigs

I bought this for my sons Acer laptop, and it completely took care of the problem that was going on with his laptop (the cat knocked his laptop off into the floor, and the computer would not boot up any more). Did a little research online, and found out the hard drive was most likely the problem. I replaced it, problem solved.

Il prodotto mi è stato consegnato integro e senza problemi. Una volta montato per i due mesi in cui ha funzionato devo dire nessun problema. Silenzioso, velocità parti al disco fisso stock che montava il mio macbook pro. Peccato che dopo due mesi sia improvvisamente morto. Spedito indietro mi sono stati ritornati i soldi in tempi brevi e senza problemi. Spero che il mio sia solo un caso isolato visto che nelle altre recensioni nessuno faceva riferimento a problematiche di affidabilità!

My son got the corrupt message on his PS3 so after doing a little research, went with the WD Blue. Installation was easy and it works flawlessly. Super quiet while running and the plus is the PS3 went from a 120gb to a 320gb memory for a tiny amount considering what Sony would charge to fix the console or upgrade it. I would recommend this HDD to anyone wanting to fix their PS3 or expand memory.

I have one of these which has been going strong for two years so far. But the second I bought failed a few days after the 12 month guarantee expired, and it hadn’t had particularly hard use. But early failure can happen with hard drives of all makes, hence three stars.

I purchased this drive as a replacement for a failing drive in my Toshiba laptop. Needless to say the new drive fitted perfectly but then I found that my Backup/Restore software would not recognise it. To cut a long story short I managed to initialise/format the drive on a second laptop but my backup/restore software would still not recognise the new drive. I tried a clean install which took absolutely hours to complete only to find that the system ran so slowly as to be unuseable. Further research revealed that this drive (model WD3200BPVT) uses advanced formatting and the Western Digital website carries a set of utilities which can be downloaded to adjust the formatting to make it compatible with older systems/PCs. Unfortunately the utilities are provided by Acronis and I just happen to be using a copy of True Image Home 10. The downloaded utility completely trashed my existing installation of Acronis and still would not recognise the new drive properly. Eventually I returned the new drive for a refund and purchased the non-advanced version (model WD3200BEVT. This fitted perfectly and I restored my system in less than two hours. The moral of this tale is to be very wary of the new advanced formatting on hard drives unless you are certain that they will be compatible with your system.

I bought this for my sister’s laptop that had a hard drive failure. I was able to put it in and restore her Windows install from backup discs. Reasonably, but not “wowingly” fast, but she just needed her laptop back quickly before she had to return to school, so this made a good drop-in replacement. She hasn’t complained to me about it, so I assume everything’s OK. I mean – what can I say: it’s a SATA II hard drive, somewhat on the lower capacity end. It’s not that impressive, but it wasn’t meant to be. It works. Four stars.

My hard drive crashed on my Toshiba laptop, and I replaced it with this WD drive.Installation went smoothly, and my laptop is running great! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I’ve noticed a noise at times that I didn’t have previously. It’s not bad, but it is different.Overall, I’m very pleased so far. I’ve had it for about a month….only time will tell how long it will last.

I bought this to instantly upgrade a new Playstation 3 Slim Line 12GB.The base model of the PS3 has no hard drive, but installing one is very easy and saves money. Compare the prices of the base model with one with a HDD already fitted and you will find that buying a HDD and caddy to fit yourself works out cheaper.You need to buy a caddy (hard drive holder) to go with it. Get the official Sony one.Look on Youtube for a demo of how to fit the hard drive – worth doing just to see how to get the end cover off the PS3 as no screws are visible. It really is just a matter of putting the HDD into the caddy, securing with the four screws provided, then slide the caddy into the slot in the PS3. Secure with the little blue screw provided, pop the cover back on and you are good to go.Note that the PS3 will want to copy the information from its solid state memory onto the HDD – say yes to that. Once you have done it there is no going back as the data is not just transferred – it is erased. In other words, the HDD becomes essential. You can’t remove it or the PS3 won’t work.I have had several WD drives over the years and they are a quality brand. This one is very good value for money and big enough to store a load of games, videos, etc. If you need more space, go for the 500GB, which costs very little more.

Had a hard drive failure on my laptop. Sadly, I’m better outside the computer than under the hood. Picked this older little guy because it was an exact replacement for the failed one. Watched a video on YouTube, popped the little sucker in and it worked.Too bad I couldn’t say the same for the Back up program I was using. Finally had to use the back up discs I made to return it to factory condition. Lucky for me I didn’t trust the Back up software in the first place and had made copies of my files on a external drive. It did take a couple days to re-install all my programs and get all the settings back the way I had them. Too bad I can’t bill the back up software for my time.
