    This is another product that didn't work out and I didn't realize it until it was too late to return. I couldn't get it to take an OS and it only showed less that 2 TB of storage... no where near the 4 TB it was supposed to have. In fact, I was not able to get it to even take any data. I would NOT recommend it to anyone.

    Best Buy did a good job installing a new hard drive in my computer. It works very good and the service was very good.

    Was broken and didn't work, and Best buy refused to change it, because I went after 3 weeks asking for help. They said after two weeks we can not help you, asked me to call the manufacturer

    Really low quality, the read/write was slower than expected. Only for use in personal computers not for use in a server. Bestbuy has very limited options.

    Purchased it August 26 and it is already going out. It was easy to set up and everything but noticed the performance was getting slower and slower over a weeks time and now it won’t even boot anything. Definitely don’t recommend.

    As of 09/30//2021, I got SMR drives inside. Don't buy these! Go for those old fashioned pmr / cmr drives instead if you don't want trouble.

    4tb drive formats out to about 3.7tb. 5400 rpm spindle speed, seems slower. Needed a replacement for a failed drive and this one was on the shelf. Meets that need.

    If you are tech savvy you can figure how to get the HDD ip and running. Also just do a quick search for assistance. Not too difficult speeds are ok for storage purposes meh for other uses. Just get it when its on sale so you wont mind the average speeds

    What started out as a 4TB ended up being a 1.6TB thanks to WD software. Just use it as an extra drive, not a start up drive.

    It would not even spin but the return process was simple. It was on sale for a great deal but unfortunately there were none left in stock and i could not wait. Was able to get a 4tb red for only a few dollars more.
