    False specs, SMR drives

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
