Customer Ratings & Reviews

i read disappointing reviews elsewhere,especially on speed due to it being only 5200 rpm,i upgraded from a 1T wd 7200-AND this one is a little faster but definitely not slower and its at 900gigs full.program start ups same speed if not little faster than 64meg cache 7200rpm wd hard disks-so for just a upgrade in desktop storage space this is a great deal for 4T...it is definitely more than a Back up drive"works great as a main drive..must be the 256 mb cache that makes a difference...and its very quiet..download the free WD acronois for cloning or initial setup-

Upgraded from a 1tb and wowzers this this is massive and does what I need, store tons of movies, music, photos, games, ect. Great product at a reasonable price.

I've been buying these 4TB, 8TB HDs for backup purposes and they are fast and reliable. Not one out of eight has failed for years and years of daily operation.

Ton of storage , cheap and easy to install , definitely would recommend

Great drive and price. Used for general storage. Would buy again.

Easy to install. Just needed an extra SATA cable. Great to have an extra 4TB of storage to go with my 1TB SSD

Great hard drive excellent price. You can't go wrong with WD they are one of the best. Easy set up just plug and play and fast upload for my movie collection.

Great internal hard drive with 4 tb space for so cheap its a great buy and has been pretty reliable sense i bought it

Great price for an awesome product, that arrived very quickly, and was super easy to install. What else could you ask for?

Plenty of storage, good price, from Western Digital, a company I rely on for my business! MGN INTRALINK Computers

Works great as a secondary storage drive, slower than you would want as a boot drive since it's 5400rpm, but the low noise and large volume is a plus

Amazing price and value this was cheaper than 1tb and it was 4x that.

This was exactly what I was needing, and at a reasonable price as well. It's been working great since installation, and I m very pleased with it.

Alot of storage for my games easy install no issues highly recommend

Hard drive works well. My only issue was that I wanted the 4TB hard drive but after installing it, I found out that it is actually a 2TB version. I do not know if this was a defect in the drive but suspect that it was merely mislabeled. The 4TB version was on sale so that it should have cost just a few dollars more than the 2TB version. Best Buy did refund me the difference between the sale price of the 4TB version and the normal price of the 2TB version but I will never get that additional 2TB of memory that I was hoping for when making this purchase.

Wonderful expansion to my computer. Sarah and Victoria at Geek Squad in Best Buy did a wonderful job of installing my WD Blue internal hard drive into my Desktop. I went from 1 TB to 5 TB after one installation. The WD Blue works smoothly and efficiently. No problem, no bugs.

Very high quality, works excellent. Exactly what I was looking for.

High capacity drive to store years of photos, videos, music, and other misc files. Works as advertised and a good value for the storage amount.

64MB cache is better than 256MB cache! Yes you read that right. Best Buy ships the WD40EZRZ variant of these drives, which is rather a rare find, given that other retailers Why is this smaller cache variant better? The cache size isn't the only difference here. the -EZRZ variant uses PMR instead of SMR writing technology found in -EZAZ variants. Without going much into the detail, SMR saves money for the HDD manufacturer, at the cost of more write activity for the reorganization of files, which simply doesn't exist with the PMR. Google is your friend if you want to learn more. Yes you heard me, this -EZRZ variant is better.

No issues, installed easily and working excellently! Using it for bulk storage.
