I bought this 2TB Western Digital WDBH2D0020HNC-ERSN Desktop Mainstream RTL Kit Internal Hard Drive to use in an Inateck FE3001 3.5” HDD enclosure November 2015 as a backup drive. Bought the retail pack after being put off by reviews of OEM version being packed poorly, for some buyers. No worries as came in retail box and packed just fine by Amazon. A minor detail at the time was the box had a WD Green sticker on it but contained WD Blue drive. WD were changing over at the time to phase out the Green drives and I knew fine well the specifications of both varieties so no skin off my nose. Drive working flawlessly ever since, as to be honest all the WD drives I have bought over the years.

Although the advert says they are 5400 RPM drives, they are fortunately, 7200 RPM ones and work very well with Digital VCRs used for surveillance. I had anticipated sending these drives back as incorrectly advertised. I've never been able to get the 5400 RPM versions to record continuously under the same conditions and circumstances. For normal data storage the 5400 RPM versions are fine. How long they last compared to the "PURPLE" versions in sustained read / write operation will be the question. Only time will tell.

Very competitively priced by Maplin and now residing in my ZyXEL-NSA310 media server. No installation was required other than running the ZyXEL NAS Starter Utility. This replaced a WD Red 3TB drive which I had filled up. I have never had a WD drive failure - I have 5 WD drives in my desktop computer and 5 in external enclosures. So far this drive has given no problems. As with all my other WD drives I have disabled the Load/Unload feature to extend the drive's life. Very happy with this purchase.

Firstly, the Argos at Greenmount Halifax is a little worse for wear, it used to be a thriving shop but is now just an empty shell used as a warehouse which is fine by me as we are living in a digital world nowadays. Customer service was fine, nothing to report and the product I bought works very well (8/10) I'd recommend Western Digital as they have a wide range of HDDs to choose from. Finally, as a student with not much money I'd love to win the prize as Christmas is around the corner. <3 CB

Usual high quality disc drive from WD, but I expected to get more from a 'Retail' pack than a pretty box and two pieces of paper, only small paragraphs of which were in English.I expect a 'Retail' pack to contain at least power and SATA cables, and possibly a CD/DVD with WD's Lifeguard software and WD's version of Acronis True Image software.Hence only 4 Stars, and in future I shall avoid 'Retail' packs, especially if there is a price premium.

..which is to sit in a 2 bay external HDD enclosure. The first mech I bought was fine, the second failed and the third was fine. All three had remarkably different prices (supply & demand over time I suppose) but all any of them needs to be is operational, quiet enough and fast enough over a USB 3 interface. Working out fine, so far at least.

Exactly as describedIf you want to use in windows, will need to format to GPT, can use windows built in tools before its formatted....As windows only recognises HDD`s up to 2TB or after formatting will,need third party Free software from paragon etc....

Purchased as external hard drive for backups in my Icy Box. Came in box as illustrated and with screws should you wish to mount internally. No problems and doing as intended.

Works exactly as it should, PC found it straight away with minimal faffing. Price from Argos was comparable with everyone else. Click and collect experience was perfect!

I use this to store my Plex files. Works like a dream and although it's only 5400 all of my movies and music load quickly enough. No problems so far at all with it.

It's brilliant little hard drive and just what I need to back up my files, because my other hard drive was full becuase it was to small to what i need it for.
