About 4 years ago I built a home theater PC that I have hooked to my 65 LG OLED tv. I use it to store movies, tv shows, music, really just media of any variety. Keeps me from having to dig out a DVD every time I want to watch a movie. Anyway, the 2tb WD Black that I’d built into the machine was pretty much packed to the screws, so I decided to replace it with a pretty serious upgrade. I went back to a WD Black drive because the existing one hadn’t given me a second of trouble in the time it’s been in use, and that’s despite it being full, and kinda warm in a rather small HTPC enclosure. This thing is an absolute moose of a drive. I used a USB 3.0 to SATA adapter to format the drive and transfer my media data onto it prior to installation. Format took about 10 hours, and the transfer of about 1.7t took about 4 hours. HDDs are pretty old tech at this point, but with a 7200rpm platter speed and 256mb of cache, it really keeps up well! My OS is on a 2.5 SSD and my processor is an AMD A8-7600 so the rest of the computer isn’t cutting-edge technology. This behemoth fits perfectly in the system, and I look forward to another 5+ years of service, during which time I’m going to stuff it with every movie I can find!

Easy install and format in HP Z. Dependable drive. Never hard an issue with a WD.

Acquired two of these hard drives to accommodate my growing video storage needs. WDs are good quality drives that have served me well over several years. The 4TB is new to me, but I fully expect it to be there for at least three to four years.

I have always trusted Western Digital and their BLACK series is the best!!!!

We use this HD in our surveillance systems. WD Black HDs truly excel in both performance and reliability. I give 5 stars to B & H as well. They have never let me down.

This was to replace a hard drive that was failing. The Western Digital Hard Drive was easy to install and the restore process was also easy.

This was the second one I bought. Unfortunately the first one was from another retailer and OEM. IT was noisy,VERY HOT and slow. At least has the speed I was looking for. But with all the hype I really expected better.

Wanted to upgrade SAS RAID (two enclosures) from current 1TB drives. Needed 8 HDDs. The WD Black line of HDDs provides the rpm performance needed for RAID. In my case, 6 TB was a good compromise for the $$. Since these were going to go into a SAS enclosure, I did not need the SATA cables normally included in retail kit (extra mounting screws would have been nice though) Installation was straight forward. Ran RAID config tool for SAS RAID HBA, initialized/formatted the resulting volume. Drives are quiet, do not seem to run too hot (compared to the 1TB I replaced). Would definitely recommend if you want to upgrade from 1TB or smaller HDDs. You significantly increase capacity and price is still reasonable.

Quite simply it was plug n play. Drive was easy to install in my Mac Pro and works seamlessly with my system. Typical B&H ordered at 3 pm received the drive the next day, well packaged too. I have been a B&H customer for over 30 years, never shop anywhere else!

This product was used to add storage space to our hard drive. It came as said on the shipping options. And was perfect for our needs. Thank You

I purchased three (3) of the Western Digital Internal 4TB HDD with a five (5) year warranty to install in my Mac Pro that already has one (1) Western Digital 4TB HDD in it. In the early 1980’s I started using Western Digital for digital and analog storage in my computers. In 26 years of video editing I have never had a failure, and transferring data to new and larger HDD’s has always been a seamless effort using the Western Digital Cloning software that is available with all the Western Digital HDD’s.

Drive was a little heavier than I expected, but still sits pretty well in my case and was installed easily. Being used as a secondary storage drive while the primary SSD is for Windows. Been about a month and so far there are no problems. The big deal breaker for me was the 5-year warranty on a Western Digital product, so I will see how this turns out down the road.

Installed this in a new build as storage with an SSD as boot drive. Just works flawlessly as have all my WD drives in the past. I went with the Black for performance since some of my programs will be installed on this drive rather than SSD.

I have used WD Black drives exclusively in my Drobo 5D for about 5 years. I am a photographer and need the capacity, performance, and longevity of these drives. I started with 5 x 1TB drives, and had already upgraded 3 of them with 4TB Drives. Wanted a little more capacity, so decided to upgrade the 2 remaining 1TB drives with these 4TB drives. Everything went perfectly, the new drives are installed and performing as expected. B&H has a great price on these 4TB drives and excellent service as always.
