Overview

Get incredible storage capacity!

Expand your PC's storage capacity with WD Blue hard drives, a line designed specifically for desktop and all-in-one PCs. The WD Blue family now offers up to 8TB of storage capacity. Combine a larger capacity hard drive with an SSD to increase the performance and storage capacity of your desktop PC. While the SSD maximizes data access speed, the WD Blue hard drive can store up to 8 TB of movies, games, files, applications, and more.

Prepare your storage for the future

As technology becomes more advanced, more storage capacity is needed. Cameras recording ultra high definition video in 4K resolution and at 30 frames per second require massive storage capacity. With this hard drive allowing you to store up to 281.25 hours of 4K video, managing all these media files is a breeze.

Easy upgrade and backup

WD hard drives come with free access to WD Acronis True Image. This downloadable software quickly copies all your existing data to your new hard drive, without reinstalling your operating system. With the backup and restore features, you can easily back up and recover your personal data.

    Out of order after 1/4 hour!

    The disc was packed tightly in a first box. This assembly was then placed in a second, larger cardboard box with no internal protection, in which it moved. The drive must therefore have taken some mechanical knocks during transportation, because after about 1/4 hour of operation, I began to hear the characteristic little noise of the arm locking up and the inability to communicate with the drive. Whether using Windows or Ubuntu, the drive is not seen and no action is possible. So I have no choice but to order another one, hoping that this time the packaging will be well done!

    Solid and inexpensive

    I've been using this drive in a Synology NAS 24/24 7/7 for 10 years, and it works perfectly. Resistant, economical.

    No worries

    Well-known product, already bought several times. It's reliable and quiet. What more could you ask for?
    It's true that the product is at the end of its life compared with SSDs, which are becoming very competitive, but it's up to scratch.
