Customer Ratings & Reviews

The harddrive works well Just be aware that most operating system wont detect the 4tb harddrive if not partitioned correctly. Press the Windows key+X and choose Powershell (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin) Here type Diskpart and press Enter. type the following Bold commands pressing Enter after Each one. (ie) DISKPART > ii) list disk (ie) DISKPART > list disk It now lists disk by number you have to select the disk next with iii) select disk <disk number> (ie) DISKPART> Select Disk (disk number) = as listed in previous command. The selected disk now has an Asterisk next to it. iv) clean (this erases all data on the Disk, so be sure you choose the correct one) (ie) DISKPART> clean v) convert gpt vi) create partition primary vii) format fs=ntfs quick now for verification of disk status and free space type v) list disk the status should be "online" and free space should be "disk size" ‘vi)exit

Works well, and gives my son the extra storage he needs. a lot cheaper than trying to by an additional 4tb in ssd.

Webt to pick up my order And the help me real good

I've gone through hundreds of hard drives over the past 25 years (or more). WD has been one of those drives that was inexpensive and was in every EOM machine where cost was important. Even in business line of machines for users, the consistently failed early and spectacularly. Seagate drives would fail at a rate close to WD. Toshiba drives seemed to last the longest and perform well. Technology and quality goes through spurts and my hope that WD has stepped up it's game runs high. I have two of the same model I purchased through 2 separate vendors to see how well they perform. Proof over time. I'm hoping to see a lifespan of 5 years, but expecting 2 years. Time will tell. They are being used in a Beyond RAID unit from Drobo.

Easy to install and use. Makes it easy to add storage to computer. Highly recommend.

Great product, would order again. It would be better if they carried these in store again because not everyone wants an SSD drive or an external drive.

a lot of storage, affordable price, I bought it for storage my video collection, so far so good

I wish it was solid state but it's an easy install and $84 and change is, great price for a 4 TB hard drive.

Five stars so far. I installed it, the computer recognized it, I ignored the WD software since it is the same as I received earlier with other drives. I started copying files from my backup system and it simply behaves as it should. Two, 3, 4, 5 years from now I might post again about its durability.

Purchased this drive to expand storage in my desktop PC. Provides lots of storage area, and has been very reliable.

Held up quite nicely in my home server. It’s Western Digital. Enough said.

Bought it to add more storage for pictures on my home server.

Replaced my 8 year old 1tb blue with this drive. It’s louder than any other spinning drive i’ve had when spinning up but is fine once it’s settled in. A fine drive, ok for archive speeds, decent value!

Great drive, not very noisy when using. It does it needs to do as a HDD.

Roomy, very quiet. I use it in a USB-3 docking station. Very fast. Very pleased with it. Got it on sale.

Great price on sale. Great for storage and fast enough.

I bought this one for my essential desktop. It was perfect for my using. I got a larger space than SSD.

WD hard drives have always been reliable for me. This one is no exception - great performance, LOTS of room for storage and backups.

Great hard drive for the price. My son installed it, he knows more about this stuff than me. He is very happy with it. Says he’s able to access things quickly and happy to double his storage capacity

Good hard drive. Provides ample storage at good speeds and easy to install!
