About this product
The Western Digital WD_BLACK 4TB high-performance gaming HDD is a 3.5-inch internal drive designed for PC users. It boasts a 7200 RPM rotation speed, indicating a focus on quicker access times for a traditional hard drive. With a 4TB storage capacity and a SATA interface, this black internal HDD provides significant space for games and other data, aiming for performance within its category.
Our take
This WD_BLACK 4TB gaming HDD is a solid choice for expanding storage in a gaming PC, particularly if you need a lot of space without the higher cost of an SSD. The 7200 RPM rotation speed is a definite plus, as it helps to minimize load times for an HDD, offering better performance than slower drives. 4TB is ample capacity for a large game library or extensive media. While it's a high-performance HDD, it's still a mechanical drive and won't match the blistering speeds of an NVMe or even a SATA SSD, especially for OS and primary game installations. Nonetheless, for secondary storage where capacity and decent speed are needed, it's a strong contender.
