Reviews of Western Digital Hard Drives: Cost-Effective or Fragile?

30 reviews between Apr 10, 2023 and May 18, 2023.

This collection of 30 reviews covers Western Digital's hard drives, including their 8TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive HDD. Some reviewers liked the cost-to-byte ratio and praised the data transfer rate, while others pointed out issues such as bad customer service and a lack of durability. Complaints about the noise level, fragility, and shingled magnetic recording also emerged. However, several reviewers had positive experiences with WD drives in general and found this hard drive to be effective in serving as a secondary drive or for storage purposes.

    Attempted to return and meet with this statement: This item is non-returnable, but you may contact Customer Service to request a refund or replacement.

    Be advised this drive is uses Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) that is being disguised as Advanced Format Drives (AFDs); this format makes it inferior compared to Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR). Very deceptive WD without warning the customers.
