    Ocasionalmente deixa de ser reconhecido pelo Windows. Utilizado como disco externo, inserido numa doca. Anteriormente no acontecia isso, com outro disco que l estava.

    I purchased this Western Digital 4TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive to store my movies. Since DVD’s are going out, I have put everything on my computer. This hard drive updates my last smaller Western Digital Hard Drive that has never had any issues in the last few years that I have used it. I will delegate the smaller hard drive to backing things up, and use the new one until it fills up. I recommend the Western Digital 4TB WD Blue PC Internal Hard Drive!

    Have bought a few WD hard drives. Never had any issues , some of the very old ones maybe a bit noisy now but still functioning fine, so a no brainer when needed a new hard drive.

    Not much else to say really.

    DD insr dans un boitier pour stockage mobile. Le seul dfaut c’est que le disque tait format sous Linux et j’ai du refaire la partition; assez facile avec le bon logiciel… mais pas ncessairement pour les nophytes.

    Ce DD plus performant que le WD 4TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive (2.5″) que j’avais achet prcdemment pour le mme usage…

    J’ai reu les disques dans une bote en carton sans protection, emballs dans du papier bulle. J’ai un doute sur le fait qu’ils soient neufs, je prfre les renvoyer. Par ailleurs je connais ces disques qui sont excellents.

    Ce disque dur WD blue 4Go est dans la liste des compatibles pour le lecteur Zappiti duo 4K, raison de son achat…
    Je confirme que a fonctionne : aprs un passage sur le PC pour un formatage, il a t insr dans le Zappiti, et fonctionne merveille.
    4Go pour une centaine d’euro, a permet de voir venir sans se ruiner.
    Jamais du par les Western Digital en plus de 20 ans de geekeries, un achat raliser les yeux ferms.

    Me llego algn da antes de lo previsto, el disco vena dentro de una bolsa de burbujas donde la mayora estaban pinchadas y a su vez dentro de una caja de cartn demasiado grande, con lo que el meneo que debi de recibir lo considero de importante, no entiendo como un producto tan delicado se trata como si fuera una pelota. El disco funciona bien, hace un ruido raro al desconectarlo con lo que desconfi de su durabilidad, siendo esta marca la que siempre utilizo para almacenaje porque me duran muchos aos. Lamentable el sistema de embalaje

    This seems to be a trend with manufacturers. Item states it’s a 4Tb drive however in reality you will only get 3.6Tb of actual storage. Still a lot of space. However, a bit of false advertisement in my opinion. I could use that extra 400gb.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI’ve had mine since fall of 2019, and it’s still doing fine. I use mine as a storage drive, nothing very demanding.

    At 5400 RPM, I don’t think this would make a very good gaming drive. You’d experience some hefty load times. 5400 is just fine for storage though. Videos, pictures, projects, whatever. A cheaper solution for your mass storage needs.

    This is an internal HDD, not an external, so installation is required. It’s a simple process as far as PC building goes, but if you’re not comfortable opening your case to mount it and plug it in, you might want to consider an external one for your storage needs. Those just need to be plugged into an outlet, and a USB port on your computer. It is pretty easy to install even if you’ve never done it though. It’s only going to fit in a couple places, of which you can use any of those slots. Power and data cables are pretty goof proof too. They’re designed so only the proper cables will fit, and only the right way. I’m sure you can find a few dozen videos online to help you with this.

    It’s been installed and is working as advertised. We’ll have to wait to see if the drive lasts the way it should. It should last for years, here’s hoping it does.

    I put this into an external SATA, 4 bay, ‘USB3 drive docking station’, that I have been using for many years to offload and backup files from my desktop PC on a Windows OS. My current OS is Win11 Pro 22H2, and the installation was very easy. You will likely need to call up the Win disk manager to initialize and format this drive. I’m happy 🙂

    I can’t remember how many of these WD Blue disks I’ve bought for my video and photography projects. They do the job, and they’ve never failed on me. I couldn’t ask for more.

    BUT it was needed to get a friend’s PC back up and running, they don’t need massive storage, and this was just right, decent amount of space, and a decent price too

    Great for storage, speeds are very slow.

    Great if you need to store big files that you touch rarely, you know – old picturesvideos.

    Definitely should not be used as a main drive if you are doing anything that requires high read or write speeds.

    Uso una quantit di dischi rigidi veramente considerevole, per questa ragione acquisto sempre Hard disk di grande capacit, debbo dire che il prodotto in questione offre un ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo, davvero silenzioso e anche molto prestante, ho scritto a circa 150 MB/s davvero un articolo ben riuscito

    The drive arrived in typical packaging, anti-static bag with desiccant, and in perfect condition. I used it to replace a wounded drive in one of my NAS mirror sets. Restored 1.5TB of data to the new drive without incident.

    Having been fed up with a 2TB pencil drive not being compatible with Windows 10 (don’t you just love how Microsoft tries to control your life?!!!) or not working properly with the Mac, I decided to get another Western Digital 4TB drive. They continue to be the world leader in drives. Although this is an internal drive, I didn’t want to pay the more expensive price for an external drive, plus my Mac is old (2008) and the connection is USBA, so the latest external drives would likely not connect. I therefore use this drive in a docking station and it works fine. – I play music live from this during my radio shows, loading to the playout app.

    For me the SSDs of this capacity and greater need to come down considerably in price before I will switch over to them. I therefore use great HDDs like this and they work fine.

    fa il suo lavoro senza problemi. riconosciuto immediatamente dal PC (con w10 ti viene indicato le modifiche di impostazione per poterlo formattare e riconoscere). buona la velocit di scrittura (con usb3 siamo quasi a 200 mb/secondo). per adesso tutto ok. comprato per cambiare un disco in un nas a 4 dischi ed utilizzato per archiare filmati. naturalmente non silenziosissimo ma rispetto alla serie green di wd si percepisce un po’ meno.

    Easy to format and install. It’s pretty quiet too. Just what I needed storage wise to work alongside my ssd with the os on. Happy with purchase.

    had some errors, but suspect they were caused by NAS when initially installing. A second format cured the problems.

    When I was fitting it, I noticed “Recertified” and a couple of Chinese/Japanese characters etched/stamped onto the side. Not glaringly obvious. I wonder whether this might explain the relatively large number of failures being reported. Drive seems to be working, but I’ll have to see how long that remains the case. Don’t know what the warranty period is on recertified drives. I feel the seller should state it’s a recertified drive.

    If you value quiet go for the slower models Althea are way easier to deal with but if you are like me and only use these for storage or big games they only spin up now and then anyway 🙂

    Deze 4 TB harde schijf was goed en netjes ingepakt. Ik vind het wel vreemd dat ik deze harde schijf niet nogmaals kan na-bestellen. (Bij mijn vorige bestelling was het geen probleem om 2 harde schijven van 4 TB te bestellen.)

    I bought this disk 3 months ago to locally store some documents and media. The value for money was the best at the time, and I was not looking for amazing performance since I use my SSD M2 if performance is needed. I recommended this disk for storage purpose only. Also , please make sure to save important files on the cloud / NFS since hard drive are known for failure. I only store non-important stuff on this disk and so far it’s been great.

    Its a standard 4TB drive at 6Gb/s. It’s the third Western Digital drive I’ve purchased through Amazon. All arrived intact (no damage to exterior packaging) and all functioned. Price was competitive with a local retailer but availability is currently better at Amazon.

    For a backup drive you 5.400 is fine. Stick it in a Ugreen external hard drive case and it works well.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our Users4TB Blue backup drive. Had many Western Digital drives over the years, never a problem.
    This one is odd though it is always doing something, is never at rest. Not that fast either. Have an old 500GB Blue drive that runs circles around it and stops when the job is done.
    Looking into why it never rests.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI was looking at a large capacity HDD to move files from old computer and also as a archive solution. The 4tb HDD was perfect for the job. I am using it with a nexxtech docking station and had no issues so far. I have partitioned the drive to have a portion for macOS and exfat.

    Transfer speeds are decent but I knew it was not going to be the fastest. I was looking for a reliable HDD and so far so good.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThe Amazon delivery threw this from the lawn to the front door. (I could tell by the snow foot print)
    It was packaged so well with suspension, it survived the throw.

    I’ve been writing and doing chkdsk with this drive so far. I think I filled it 2 times or so.
    It seem good so far.

    The transfer speed is good too, around 130MB/s max.

    It’s a SMR drive but it is quiet and does the job of being an archival storage.

    For 63 it is a very good item. I use this as ba ack up drive for my photo folders.

    Golden Review Award: 29 From Our UsersIch kann die negativen Rezensionen nicht nachvollziehen. Bei mir in Stoff verpackt und verschweisst. Nutze Sie in einer NAS. Ich habe an die 15 WD Platten und alle laufen wie am ersten Tag. Kommt natrlich immer drauf an wie man mit den Platten umgeht. Magnetische Felder in Lautsprechern machen auch oft Probleme bei Externen Platten hatte ich auch schonmal. Diese Platte luft an Tagen manchmal an die 20 Stunden bis jetzt keine Probleme.

    Schreiben mit 90mbit auf die NAS. 1000mbit Leitung.
    Knnt ihr kaufen.

    Ich hoffe meine Bewertung war ntzlich fr Ihre Kaufentscheidung.
