Q: Questionis this drive PMR OR SMR?(5 answers)
A: Answerthe 4th picture says the model on this is wd40ezaz. on western digital's site, it shows this: CMR: WD5000AZLX, WD5000AZRZ, WD10EZEX, WD10EZRZ, WD20EZRZ, WD30EZRZ, WD40EZRZ SMR: WD20EZAZ, WD20EZBX, WD30EZAZ, WD40EZAZ, WD60EZAZ unless the picture is wrong, this is an SMR drive.Answered by sparkle
- A: AnswerMTBFs vary between manufacturers AND the characteristic usage class of the drive. Manufacturers like to claim this time to far exceed 11 years but reality shows a fairly high variance between manufacturers and the “class” of drive. In this case the WD 4TB “Desktop” drive in avg daily “consumer grade” usage, should last 7 years or more easily, even in 24/7 powered up state as I run such systems. The Western Digital quality is fairly high and you should see a low 2-3% overall annual failure rate across their quantity of shipped units. When you need higher grade performance, look to a “NAS” class drive . . . remember the old saying of you “get what you pay for” is a good rule of thumb. Hope it’s helps.

Q: QuestionIs this hard drive capable for my ps4?(6 answers)
A: AnswerI think as long as you have the data bank adapter youbshould be able to use it on a ps4Answered by Mailmanboi
- A: AnswerA SATA hard drive is the current standard for computers which replaced the older and slower (P)ATA interface. SATA is Serial ATA and PATA is Parallel ATA. The current SATA is faster and uses a much thinner cable from the drive to the motherboard. If you look at the picture, the wider black cable is (P)ATA hooked up to the DVD drive and the thin red cable is SATA hooked up to the hard drive.

- A: AnswerHave been using WD drives for a long time. I would recommend it for your Steam library as I use it for mine and it works perfectly.

- A: AnswerIt's a 3.5" internal SATA hardrive. If your desktop has room to install an additional 3.5" drive and has a spare SATA port to attach it to, it should work with no problem.

Good HDD for the price
Worked well when I needed it most, so I can't review it poorly.
