Western Digital may have faced adversity throughout the last year but if the new RE 4TB is any indication, they are back with a vengeance. This drive is geared towards the enterprise market segment and is one of the largest capacity HDDs around but ha...

Let us preface this summary by saying that Western Digital’s RE 4TB can’t be approached like it is a mass market drive that’s supposed to cater to larger retail market. While it can be used in any number of situations, enterprise clients are the ultima...

Most of our avid readers of course have at least one SSD in their desktop and laptop, but for large volume storage you're still relegated to conventional hard disks. It's almost become a negative connotation - 'conventional' - and it really doesn't do t...

The WD RE 4TB drive is specifically meant to handle an enterprise workload, but don’t let that scare you off, as it includes a desktop-friendly SATA 6Gb/s interface. As long as you’re running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you should be able to format it...

Lots of storage; semiaffordable; fast.
Not 1TB per platter; 3x cost of 3TB drive.

While SSDs are by now the unquestioned performance kings when it comes to storage, their capacities are still too low and cost-per-gigabyte still too high for them to displace hard drives completely. While SSDs continue to improve at a meteoric rate...

As the benchmarks show, the WD WD4000FYYZ RE is a solid performer. Partitioning it on our test system was no challenge, though its unusually large capacity might cause problems if you intend to use it with an older NAS. Four terabytes is a huge amount...

The last Western Digital RE drive we tested was the 2 TB Western Digital RE4-GP. It was a lower-powered version that ran at a fixed spindle speed between 5,400 and 7,200 RPM (Western Digital refused to disclose the exact spindle speed), with a SATA 3...

When considering a new storage solution, most users try to find the right balance between speed and capacity. SSDs are super fast, no doubt about it, but an HDD spinning at 7200RPM or 10,000RPM will still offer solid performance, and you have access to...

On the whole, the WD RE 4TB SATA hard drive is a champ. It delivers strong performance, and it packs plenty of features to ensure reliability and endurance that are backed up by WD's excellent 5-year warranty, which is a number which will offer confidence...

The Western Digital RAID Edition line of hard drives has been around for some time now, and has largely impressed us with each subsequent release. Since the launches of the RE4-GP and later, the faster spinning RE4, WD's enterprise line had been cap...

Outstanding sequential read and write speeds, File performance approaching 10,000 RPM VelociRaptor in some areas, 5Year warranty with 24/7 support hotline, 1,200,000 hour MTBF (1,000,000 for WD Red Series)...
Not yet available in a 'GP' series (unknown if this will happen), Different tuning might effect some workloads negatively (compared to prior gen RE4).
After perhaps a longer than expected wait, Western Digital has released a 4TB hard disk in the form of its new RE series. RE drives have always carried a 'faster' track geometry than their consumer units, and this same case applies here. A heavier hea...

In 2012, Western Digital made changes to both its product-line naming schemes and also how it presents itself as a company. Changes so small, so subtle, that even I didn't clue in until long after the fact.For starters, when talking about the company's pr...

We first became aware of Western Digital's RE4 Enterprise Storage hard drives while parts checking a 1U Dell R310 server back in 2011 - an "Enterprise Storage" SATA drive seemed a curious object.... but before we get into the specs of the 1.0TB WD RE4 dri...
