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

I added this 4TB to my computer so the Main Drive only had to worry about the Operating System and other Programs. This drive only works for storage and back ups.

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.

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

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.

I use these hard disk drives for my NAS and other backup files, works great and I haven't had any issues with the drives in over a year now. The speeds are a bit slower than the 7200 RPM drives (these hard drives are 5400 RPM), but I don't have any issues with that in my own setup.

There's so little that can be said about mechanical drives anymore, unless they're pushing the limits of the format's capacity, so I'll keep it simple. It hasn't failed, and it is holding data without flipping bits randomly. It isn't noisy and hasn't eaten my dog. It's not particularly fast, but for the use it gets, it doesn't need to be. All in all, a good solution to bump up storage space a bit.

his WD - Blue 4TB PC Internal Hard Drive for Desktops was a great price and works perfectly with our system!

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.

Good value for storage expansion, cheap and easy to install.

Did what I needed a 4GB drive to do. Quick and easy installation into server, quickly configured new shares and started pumping gigs of data onto it. Liked it so much I bought a second so I could put one into my other server, configured DFS between the two and they are replicating. Might buy more soon as it's always good to have more space than you think you need.

Yes, it's a hard drive for a desktop computer, alright. Wanted to upgrade my 1 TB hard drive with something bigger, and I ended up getting this one. Hook it in with a SATA cable, go to your Drive Management, create a new simple volume, and, boom, new hard drive. Not much else to say. Seems to work great so far.

Good general purpose storage hard drive. Large capacity works well if you are working with a lot of video files or other files over 1GB each. Have bought this hard drive in the past and have not had one fail yet. (5 years)

Great hard drive at a good price. I've had a number of WD hard drives over the years, and they've all been great.

This 4TB WD Blue worked fantastic in my new computer build. The price to performance is great and it's near whisper quiet during operation. My media library and games have plenty of room to grow now.

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

So far this hard drive has done what it is supposed to do. Store my data and havent had any malfunctions. I have several of these installed and have used them in the past on my other PCs.

Added much needed additional storage to our computer. Easy to install and set-up. Great option to economically expand your storage space

The drive was literally plug and play into my RAID array. Easy install and setup. Great value - buy with confidence.
