Western Digital 4TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive HDD - 5400 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD40EZAX

I bought this for my first pc build. This is a very good drive, and has more than enough storage for my needs. The performance is very good due to the caching system. Make sure you eject the drive before disconnecting, because files might still be stored in the cache. No drivers are required, so it is plug and play and very easy to use. The drive is quiet when in use, and does not get overly warm at full load. Great drive, WD is my go-to for storage needs.

Worked liked expected... which is what I appreciate.

Great replacement drive.

great, cheap storage

I worked in the tech field in Corporate hardware and network support from 1992 to 2021. Literally dealt with 10's of thousands of hard drives. Western Digital has been the most reliable overall (some models had issues, but overall) for that entire time. I bought four 4TB WD drives, 2 red and 2 blue for offline backup of my personal systems and old business data in fall of 2024. They have been used 8 times for backups, totaling about 1 week of heavy use power on time. 1 of each blue and red have now failed, head click-reset bricked - all four are in different ext housings - so not a bad system/power issue. So 50% fail rate with 1 week of use. The data on them had some Corp business stuff I had to keep for records and cannot be handled by a third party for any reason, so they had to be destroyed and no warranty replacement. Drives were on different orders, so "dropped" in shipping would NOT account for it. Very disappointed WD. Now I cannot trust the other two for anything but Temp non-valuable data so I could warranty them if needed. Will switch to cheapest drives I can get and buy spares to account for fails now. Interestingly, my older WD 2TB and 3TB drives that have years of intermittent heavy use (run hard for 10-20 hours a mouth) are still going strong with no errors as yet. They are 6-10 years old.

Plenty of storage for holding a lot of content

Its not as fast as an ssd what the load time difference between the two is not very noticeable. Loads faster than older Hard drives and easy to install. Highly recommend if you want to upgrade you HDD.

Some people don't like but I don't have too many problems with there unless I bought refurbished without realizing it. But I love these blue drives

Rs 14,999 paid, but received a defective product. It started clicking when plugged into my desktop on Day-0. It's called "click of death" when HDD has a mechanical failure. It was dead on arrival. Amazon refused to refund or replace as it does not qualify for returns. I tried explaining that the HDD is defective, but to no avail. Rs, 15,000 just gone; or so I thought. Now, went to the Western Digital Service center for warranty coverage. They said I will get it back in 7-10 days. One day full wasted travelling to the service center. After 10 days, I plan to go for holidays. It is a total mess. The product was received without any visible damage to the package. Imagine Amazon and WD colluding to get rid of defective product this way. Looking at reviews, I am not the first one to have received a defective HDD. See the video of the click of death sound. Its risky to buy non-returnable products from Amazon. Customer now has to run around, and at the en,d I will get a re-furbhished product.

This is my first 3.5' HDD in a very long time. Amazon dropped it off on the porch, was worried about how they handled it (did they toss the box onto the ground perhaps?). I was kind of against buying a drive online over going to a brick and mortar store because of the fear of it getting banged (drives don't like being hit or shaken). It came in the original unopened box that was in a thin bubble pack mailer. Bought it mainly as a place to store my hobby YouTube channel content (videos, and related media), as well as for future proofing as a long-term storage option. The drive was easy to install and set up. Just mount it within your case, plug in two cables. Then, for drives over 2TB (like the 4TB I bought) you need to manually format it to work in Windows. I've never done this before and it took me like 20 minutes of online research (the manuals WD gives access to doesn't show how to do this) and then a few clicks in Windows, and voila! A brand new formatted 4TB HDD. Ran CrystalDiskInfo and it seems there are no issues, and the drive is running very well. Very silent. It has double the read and write speed of the HGST 7200rpm drive I replaced it with (my old drive was starting to show pending sector counts and is several years old). Not sure if the HGST is SRM, though. It also has nearly double the read and write speed of the other 2TB 5400rpm 2.5 inch CRM drive on my PC right now, according to CrystalDiskInfo. I was surprised that although both are 5400rpm CRM drives, the WD Blue is significantly faster. I was able to copy ~300 GB of info in like 35 minutes. The WD Blue shows about 217 MB/s read sequential, 2.20 random. 213MB/s write sequential, 2.50 random. This is for 8GB files of the size I will normally be working with. Overall, I am pleased with the new WD Blue 4TB drive. It's silent, has surprising performance, and seems to be fully functional. Time will tell whether I got a lasting drive (they say that if your drive lasts a year it will probably last many years).
