- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 4000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 7200 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 267 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 267 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 3.5 in.

Fastest WD 4TB Drive
I bought the Western Digital WD4006FZBX drive to install in a new Dell Windows 11 computer which comes with only 1/2 TB SSD. I will use the WD4006FZBX HDD to store large user files. Two TB would have been plenty, but I selected the WD4006FZBX because it has 256MB cache, making it 63% faster than those with only 64MB which are commonly sold. If you buy 4TB, look on line to find how to GPT format and partition it so your system can access the entire drive. Dell tech support says you can't, but it works fine.

A good performing mechanical HDD
This is a good mechanical hard drive. I was using it as part of a raid array, replacing a 3TB WDD drive. You are going to get about the best speeds you can get short of going with SATA SSD.
