Review on 💾 Western Digital 4TB WD Blue PC Hard Drive HDD with 5400 RPM, 6 Gb/s SATA, 256 MB Cache & 3.5" Form Factor - WD40EZAZ by Eduardo Locke

If WD were honest about this drive I wouldn't buy it at any price. It seemed to work fine at first, but it crashed out of my raid setup after a few months. It wasn't until outside investigators discovered that WD was selling SMR drives without admitting it that I realized WD had cheated me. There are reports. on the internet that these discs can freeze for up to 20 minutes when you try to write on them. Most software will crash when this happens and it is all too easy to lose your data.
