Designed for enterprise environments, it offers a substantial 4 TB storage capacity with a SATA III interface, supporting a 6Gb/s transfer rate and 500MB/s read speed.

Our take
This WD Gold 4TB Enterprise drive really shines in its intended role. The 7200 RPM rotation speed and 6Gb/s transfer rate ensure solid performance, while the 64 MB cache is pretty standard for this class of drive. It's built for reliability, which is critical in an enterprise setting, and the hot-swap feature is a definite plus for quick maintenance. While it's a capable drive for general use, its enterprise-grade features mean it might be overkill, or priced higher, for a typical home PC user.
