Western Digital 4TB WD Black Performance Internal Hard Drive HDD - 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5 - WD4005FZBX

Its amazing how cheap you can get high capacity hard drives nowadays. I love the high storage capabilities while not being extremely slow like many hard drives. Dont get me wrong a ssd is several times faster but the prices of high storage ssds are just depressing. Until you can get a reasonable priced high capacity ssd, this is perfect for bulk storage on a main device, it is fast enough to game and do daily tasks though I wouldnt recommend using this as your primary drive but rather a secondary with a ssd for booting and important files and this drive for anything else

Your typical, run of the mill, mechanical Hard Drive. This thing gives you a good amount of storage at an extremely reasonable price.

If you need storage, this drive works well. Fastest sata drive out there. Not the best choice for newer games, you would want an ssd or m.2, but a lot of games will still run off this. Not to mention so much room to save movies, music, backups, etc. Very good addition to any pc.

Ive used nothing but WD drives for over 30 years. First one was a tiny 240MB drive and since have been through many upgrades. While most were due to outgrowing the drives, Ive had maybe 2 catastrophic failures. I had a few drives start to go bad developing bad sectors but were caught in time to preserve data on a backup drive. While I know SSD is the thing now and is my preference for sure for a laptop, I do not find them to be a great advantage for sustained transfers like backing up or cloning a HD. SSD rates are initially very high then slow down after a few seconds. So for a while I will stick with spinning platters. This particular model is very fast rivaling SSD transfers for routine writes to another section of drive, as fast as my SSD laptop is.

I have been a big fan of Western Digital and have been using the Black edition since they were introduced. I have several that are probably 10 years old. I have never had a Black edition hard drive fail on me. I could have went with a less expensive model, since this is used for cold storage, but believe its worth the extra cost for data security. I have been using Western Digital hard drives since the 90s and have only had a few failures. Which were a couple Blues and Green. and 2 before they were identified by colors. I use a purple in my Network rack NVR and a Red in a stand alone NVR. Both write 24/7 without an issue.

The seller was Amazon. I paid 70 bucks. The drive installed just fine for me. After installation and formatting, the drive shows 931 GB free space. My PC is running Windows XP Home SP3. I am using this drive as an extra data drive; I did not install the operating system on it. This is an advanced format drive. To learn what this means, use google and search for western digital advanced format. I needed a data cable, so I purchased

llego a tiempo, Producto tal como lo describen. y de buena calidad.

I have been buying Western Digital drives for decades now and have had excellent drive life and reliability. This 4 TB Black model drive has started out like others I have had in the past. I got this drive to replace a WD Blue 1 TB drive that is now too small for my needs, but is still performing well. Low noise level and excellent access speeds have continued with the 4TB WD Black model. If I have any issues, Ill update this review.

safe packing and fast delivery recommended

Super fast shipping. Re-installed windows 10 on the new hard drive and my computer works sooooo much better. Amazinf what a difference this made.
