Store and access up to 4TB of your files in a desktop computer, NAS device, or RAID array using the 4TB Blue SATA III 3.5″ Internal HDD Retail Kit from WD. 4TB will allow you to store movies, photos, music, documents, and much more. Compatible with computers running Windows and Mac OS, this hard drive connects to your system’s 3.5″ bay via the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface.
In terms of speed, this drive operates using WD’s IntelliPower rotational speed. This means that rpm speed of the drive depends on the operations being performed. If the drive is performing mostly sequential reads and writes, its speed will be increased as compared to if it were performing mostly random mode operations. This 4TB drive also features a 64MB cache to help ensure uninterrupted data transfers. Included with this hard drive are mounting screws.

Always in need of more storage, when I saw these on sale for $96 I could hardly pass it up.

Running this as a second data drive. Had a WD Black series that was putting out some excessive heat. This Blue series runs nice and cool. The B&H packaging was mediocre. I ordered two WD Blue’s & they were sliding around in the box. I ran both though WDDIAG Extended Test, they both passed. A single 4TB Blue ordered previously was DOA and once again sliding around inside of the box.

For those who care about conventional vs Shingled drives: The ones I bought here are the WD Blue drives, internally WD60EZRZ, thus CMR and not SMR drives. (Which matches having the 64MB cache unlike the larger one used for SMR drives.) Most people probably don’t care, especially for desktop use, and the trend is to SMR, but I thought I would mention it.

Solid performance, good read/write speed. I feel confident storing my data on these through Drobo. I plan on purchasing 2 more soon.
