Our take
If you're in the market for a dependable 4TB SATA drive, this HGST model with its 7200 RPM speed is a solid choice. The 6Gbps SATA interface is standard and offers good performance for most desktop or entry-level server applications. The 64MB cache helps with typical read/write operations. The hot swap feature is a definite plus for systems that support it, making maintenance more straightforward. Just be sure your system has SATA ports, as this is a dedicated SATA drive, and it's an HDD, so don't expect SSD-level speeds.
