Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Blue 4TB PC Internal Hard Drive, highlighting its ample storage space, reliability, and ease of use. Many find the hard drive to be a great value for its price and appreciate the simple installation process and quiet operation. However, some customers have noted that a SATA cable is not included, and the warranty is only two years.

    DOA

    DOA I purchased this drive to replace my TimeMachine backup on the way out of town due to a family emergency. When I got back and plugged it in . . . NADA. Nothing I could hear a single click but it was not visible as a drive no matter what enclosure I used. I could not hear disks spinning or anything. And on top of the sales associate, I finally tracked down to help me get the drive from its locked glass case, and was rude and snotty and not at all interested helping me to locate the store inventory.

    Only had it for 6 months when it suddenly died. Started hearing a repeated clicking noise and then it completely died and now won't boot up to even try data recover. All my files and photos are gone. Took it to the Nerd Squad who said there was nothing they could do but send it out for data recovery for $1,600.

    This drive was purchased as a backup drive. Western Digital is a decent drive, although I have been purchasing Seagate. It works as expected, and I’m happy with the purchase.

    I purchased the WD - Desktop Everyday 4TB Internal SATA Hard Drive for Desktops due to one of my drives beginning to fail. This replacement is a Blue drive with a 2 year warranty.

    It is a standard 3.5" internal hard drive. It also works well with USB Drive Docks, as an external drive also. That is how I use it. It formats for Windows, Linux, or MacOS.

    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.
