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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    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

    Best Buy did a good job installing a new hard drive in my computer. It works very good and the service was very good.

    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.

    If you are tech savvy you can figure how to get the HDD ip and running. Also just do a quick search for assistance. Not too difficult speeds are ok for storage purposes meh for other uses. Just get it when its on sale so you wont mind the average speeds

    It would not even spin but the return process was simple. It was on sale for a great deal but unfortunately there were none left in stock and i could not wait. Was able to get a 4tb red for only a few dollars more.

    What started out as a 4TB ended up being a 1.6TB thanks to WD software. Just use it as an extra drive, not a start up drive.

    Piece of junk.....after 2 months of not using it. I installed into a SATA control box that reads all SATA drives and now it's not being recognized by the system and it's asking to format the drive. I should have stayed with SEAGATE
