Customer Ratings & Reviews

I mostly use these larger drives in my RAID based NAS systems. They are very reliable but like anything mechanical, can eventually fail. But because of the low price point and RAID technology, swapping in a new drive doesn't cost me any data or much money.

I was originally searching for a 1 or 2 Terabyte Drive, for twice the price of this 4 TB drive. After installing it on my clients desktop, the speed (for a spindle based harddrive) and the ease of installation make this an incredible purchase. Highly recommend it!

Use it as back up for all my files on my computer. Works great and keeps on trucking

I bought two of these hard drives to expand my already too large media library. Zero problems so far and I always go with WD so I'm confident they'll be fine. Couldn't beat the price Best Buy is selling these right now.

I actually used two of these and filled them for long term storage if large video files. Worked as it should.

This drive is a decent storage drive. It has SMR technology, which is slightly inferior to CMR. I am using this deive for backups, so it fits my need. It is a very good deal if you can get it for around 50$.

My general rule for hard drives has been if this seems like you'll never need this much space, get the next size up.

WD makes a solid hard drive that is a good value !!

Quiet. No issues out of the box. Inexpensive mass storage for games. Time will have to tell about longevity/reliability.

Easy to install and works as intended not bad price point as well

I use Western digital for many builds.Very Easy to install and did its job.

It works, it has the space it says it does, it's about as fast as you'd expect.

I've been using Western Digital drives for over 15 years and have never had a issue with their products. I'm currently using two of these drives for my NAS to stream my personal collection of movies and pictures through my personal network.

Hard drive is easy to install and worked flawless!

Used to back up the data on the PC primary diskdrive which is an SSD drive. Works without a fuss. I expect it to last for a long time because it is lightly for periodic back ups only

Great hard drive with a lot of space. I've installed a lot of games on it and still have a bunch of space left

Nice large drive. Motherboard MUST support UEFI and you must format the drive in Windows 10 as GPT and not MBR to use full capacity and as Drive 0. Without UEFI capable motherboard you are limited to 2.1T. Also, if you use as Drive 0 and cannot use UEFI then windows cannot partition the drive into multiple drives.

Upon opening the packaging I was dismayed that all there was inside was a plastic bag. Luckily I dug deeper and found the hard drive inside that bag. So, you get a hard drive, a box, some plastic, and a free bag. The hard drive worked just fine, but the free bag just made for some extra purchase. 10 stars.

I had no problems installing this hard drive. It is working fine. Plenty of space for my needs.

was great for what I needed it for not to mention it was a great price for 4 tb of space it was a great invesrmeht
