I only buy Western Digital drives, in my experience they are the most reliable HD drives. This particular one is fast and reasonably quiet, and it runs pretty cool. Of course 4TB is an obscene amount of storage space; a few years back we would never have believed that such a drive would be available to consumers while having a reasonable price tag. I bought the drive "manufacturer refurbished" with one year warranty. But it might as well have been new; it looks new and was in a factory sealed bag, complete with desiccant pouch. Once installed, I did a full surface scan on it (took the whole night for 4TB) and it passed with flying colors. So if you look for a better price on this 4TB "black" WD drive, I recommend buying this manufacturer refurbished, it saves you at least $100. A WORD OD CAUTION: For the 4TB to be accessible, you need to initialize the drive for "GPT" format, not MBR (the latter being common on legacy systems). If you leave it at MBR anyway, only up to 2TB is accessible on the HDD, even when making multiple partitions. However, older PCs might not be able to handle the UEFI boot, check this in your PC's BIOS setup screen first. See also the Internet on UEFI for more details. Without UEFI capability in the BIOS, your PC won't boot when the HDD is initialized as GPT.Read full review

The drive itself is very good. Fast high I/O, but it is noisier compared to a slower 5200RPM drive. This drive is great for a RAID system or as an OS drive.

As I've found with all WD drives I've purchased, this one works perfectly. The only ordeal was setting it up to take full advantage of the 4TB. I'll have to say that WD support was there along the way to help. They pin-pointed a problem with my OS that was causing the no 4TB problem. Now it works just fine.
