2TB WD Blue 3.5" SATA 6 Gb/s PC Hard Drive

Good one for additional storage. If you are planning to install Window OS, I suggest to buy NVMe or SSD.

I've noticed some people complaining about the packaging, so let me set the record straight. This is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) drive, which means it comes in a cardboard box with some padding—either styrofoam or bubble wrap—and inside a sealed anti-static bag. This is standard practice for WD and Seagate to keep costs down and reduce waste since these drives are usually intended for system builders or tech pros who don't need fancy retail packaging.When you get your HDD, make sure to check the padding inside the box. There shouldn’t be any wiggle room—if that drive’s snug and tight, you’re probably good to go. And don't forget to check that the plastic bag is actually sealed and anti-static, because that’s what’s gonna keep your drive from getting fried.

Very nice product

Extremely Disappointed with WD and Amazon – Received Altered Product, No ResolutionI purchased a WD 2TB hard disk for ₹5600, expecting the quality and reliability associated with a reputed brand like Western Digital, and the trust that comes with buying from Amazon. What I received was a complete disaster:• The product arrived in only a plastic cover, with no proper packaging.• Upon connecting it to my system, it caused system hang-ups.• Attempts to recover or access data through software were completely unsuccessful.When I contacted WD for replacement, they outright refused, claiming that it was an "altered product" and said it cannot be covered under warranty or replaced. Their suggestion? “Contact the seller where you bought it from.”So I turned to Amazon, expecting at least some accountability. Shockingly, Amazon also refused to help, stating that since WD has marked it as altered, they can't proceed either. This is an absurd loop of blame-shifting where neither party is taking responsibility.Let me be very clear:• It’s 2 time used (connected to System), 1st time for data copying and 2nd time for data recovery and both failed. "Since the data wasn’t important, I didn’t attempt recovery.• I bought a new product, not a tampered or used item.• I trusted Amazon's platform and WD’s brand name, both of which have completely failed me.• The customer is left helpless, with zero support, no replacement, and no refund for a defective product that never worked.• Product is under warranty period.This experience reflects a serious lapse in quality control, poor customer service, and a lack of accountability from both WD and Amazon. If even big names like these can't ensure genuine products and proper after-sales support, then what exactly are we paying a premium for?I strongly caution others to double-check everything and think twice before trusting either brand with your hard-earned money. The so-called “warranty” is nothing but a scam. It’s just a marketing gimmick with no real support when you actually need it. Please don’t buy product which comes with product packing. I never expected to receive any product like this.I had earned that money through hard work, and after this terrible experience, I had no choice so purchased a new Toshiba Drive 2 TB from MD Computers with help of friend’s credit card.

The product works fine, transfer speed as mentioned.

Product is working fine, I just surprised of packaging quality. As there was no outer monocarton or Box for product description or branding it was just a box for transit.

easy to install , good reading and writing speed, and 7200 rpm is perfectly good with gaming too. and piece of advice for those who are purchasing this for their secondary hard drive or like those who are expanding their storage that this hard drive does not come with power cable to connect to psu or sata cable to connect to your mobo... so purchase it that too. luckily I had extra cables came with my psu so I only had to purchase the extra sata cable. I don't know if this is a common knowledge for every one but for a noob like it was a surprise so I had to order it separately after getting the hard drive ... so if there is some one like me who dont have knowledge of this kind of stuff and they are also new to this than just putting this out for those.
