I bought this hard drive to use for back ups even though it is not specifically for that purpose. I have been very successful in doing back ups.

I bought this to replace another WD hard drive (same model) that last less than a year in my Synology NAS.

This unit is quite and fast. Great purchase Good Gr

DOA I purchased this drive to replace my TimeMachine backup on the way out of town due to a family emergency. When I got back and plugged it in . . . NADA. Nothing I could hear a single click but it was not visible as a drive no matter what enclosure I used. I could not hear disks spinning or anything. And on top of the sales associate, I finally tracked down to help me get the drive from its locked glass case, and was rude and snotty and not at all interested helping me to locate the store inventory.

Great exactly what I needed for gaming. Will buy again

Did not need this and returned it to Best Buy store.

Sometime it make weird noise with high pitch. Not exactly 4TB.

i knew i would lose some space after formatting. but not 400gb it is only 3.6tb after formatting with ntfs

This drive was purchased as a backup drive. Western Digital is a decent drive, although I have been purchasing Seagate. It works as expected, and I’m happy with the purchase.

Only had it for 6 months when it suddenly died. Started hearing a repeated clicking noise and then it completely died and now won't boot up to even try data recover. All my files and photos are gone. Took it to the Nerd Squad who said there was nothing they could do but send it out for data recovery for $1,600.

I purchased the WD - Desktop Everyday 4TB Internal SATA Hard Drive for Desktops due to one of my drives beginning to fail. This replacement is a Blue drive with a 2 year warranty.

It is a standard 3.5" internal hard drive. It also works well with USB Drive Docks, as an external drive also. That is how I use it. It formats for Windows, Linux, or MacOS.

I purchased this device as a Christmas gift. The overall performance is unknown.

I bought this drive for data storage. it is only 5400 rpm.

The specifications falsely show these as CMR drives when they're truly SMR drives and marked up to take advantage of those who wouldn't notice. Learn from my mistake and shop elsewhere.

My computer is stacked with six of these wd hdd over 5 years so far.

Nice drive for a raid array. I needed some 4TB internal drives to replace some failed ones in a RAID array and these worked perfectly.

If your going to use it just for files it’s good but not good for gaming very slow

So far I’ve bought like 10 of these. I will keep buying more

Bought this for a computer that I bought at best buy and the computer died within 3 months. Was so discussed I just put it on the side as the warranty was over and I was discussed. I installed the hard drive in a new computer I built and the drive made ugly noises from day one and then died within 10 hours.
