• Reviews around storage (3.70 of 5)

    WD 4TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache, 3.5-Inch Desktop Hard Disk Drive (WD4003FZEX)

    • Solid storage and performance for years and years but way overpriced at time of purchase!
    • Love the extra storage
    • It's pretty fast and big storage.
    • Does exactly what I need it to do - fast extra storage.
    • and it's not the drive itself but a software driver issue that does involve this drive and windows, I should mention that I had to uninstall Intel Rapid Storage Technology AHCI driver because during large transfers it was consuming all of my ram first then stalling to finish copying data but luckily not locking up the OS, however it does lock up the copy so the only way to continue is to reboot, then uninstall the Intel RST driver,then reboot, then you should be able to copy terrabytes at a time without any locking up
    • I don't recommend this as a main os/boot drive (use a SSD for that), but it makes a great storage/game drive
    • I replaced a 10000 RPM raptor and this is just as fast with 50 times the storage and its quiet!
    • Planning on running 5 of these in tandem (RAID config)for more redundant storage
    • I've owned is still running great, so I can easily recommend them to anyone looking for affordable storage.
    • Solid storage and performance for years and years but way overpriced at time of purchase!

    • The only thing I can get from the HDD is initialization and I/O errors
    • Not as fast as
