Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this HDD, went home to set it up, and Disk Manager wouldn't initialize the device due to "a device which does not exist was specified". After changing SATA ports, Rescanning disks, etc.. It then gave an I/O error during Disk Management initialization. AKA- The hard drive was dead on purchase. I went back and replace it, and the new one was plug in and play after the quick initialization. This would have gotten 5 stars, but for my gas and time wasted, down to 2.

4TB WD Blue drives are faster than I expected. over 200MB/sec transfer rate (sustained)

Works perfectly great HD. intalled on my security sysytem no problems

I use this drive in a raid and it is working just fine. As this is the blue not the red as is recommended for raids time will tell if this was a good decision.

Lots of memory & smooth operation. Works very well.

I'm sort of brand loyal to WD over the last couple of decades. Never had a failure and this one performed as expected. One of those times when needed today and Best Buy had it available. Great for long term storage and volume backups where you do not need SSD speed.

Works great and fast setup, been using these for years

Can't believe the price drops recently on hdds. had 2 drives fail figured it was time to upgrade.

Excellent drive to replace the HDD in my computer following a Ransomware attack. I decided to replace both Drives in the system just to be safe.

It's a solid hard drive for me. Typically lasting around four years with proper maintenance. The only reason I rate it four out of five is simply that I use hard drives for gaming. And when this drive goes bad. You better act quick.

Installed by Pasadena Geek Squad to replace poorly performing/malfunctioning hard drive on Inspiron All in One desktop. The SATA hard drive performs well, though there is hesitation in my email program Microsoft Outlook 2010 in moving between folders. Other programs have no hesitation.

If you want to throw it in a long time rig, by all means. It literally shorted on me on the second boot and I had to return it. Definitely not for me, I’d recommend switching to m.2’s or NVMe’s.

Not the fastest drive in the world, but I'm not using it for speed.

My second drive for my home media server, great price when you get it on sale and good read and write speeds!

Fast enough, seems dependable so far. Wish it was as quiet as the SD drive, but can't expect that. Altogether a good purchase.

Just plugged it into my tower, then performed a fresh restore of my OS. Had a much older and slower drive before, so boot times under 10 seconds now are awesome to experience.

Ordered Hard Drive online .It had a great price for 4 TB size. When I arrived in the store It was easy to retrieve my item with ease.

Drive tested for 3 days using Linux, and came back perfect condition. Very happy with WD hard disks,

Obviously it’s a good product for the price. Hasn’t failed yet.

Got this mainly to use as a media drive. Fast enough for what it's used for.
