Fast internal storage for multimedia files.One of the most reliable hard drives on the market.Long warranty that hopefully you won't need to use running it 24/7.Should use SATA 6GB/s controller.

Cons:None

Pros:PerformanceSize
Comment:
Using the drive as a media storage and Steam Library, working great so far. I got 3.63 TB of usable space on the drive. What with liquid cooling and an SSD boot drive this drive is probably the loudest thing in my rig, you can definitely hear it spinning when moving files around or running a malware scan but it's not too bad.Anyway, great drive and I would highly recommend it until the days of 4TB SSD's that cost less then a space shuttle come along.

Western Digitial WD4003FZEX Black 4TB SATA 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB Cache 3.5in Hard Drive OEM
Cons:None

Pros:I installed the WD4003FZEX as a GPT type data disk on my dual boot PC (Windows8 and Linux). I don't plan to to boot from it since my motherboard is 5-years old. Fof the install to run smoothly, it is imperative to first initialize and partition the disk with Windows (as a GPT disk), and then add partitions in Linux. Windows creates a "Microsoft reserved" partition for itself in addition to the user partitions. Windows8 won't see any partitions created in Linux if the disk is first initialized in Linux, but it sees them if the Linux partitions are created after Windows did his things.Otherwise, the disk is not louder than the HD it replaced. I installed the new HD just behind a fan so it gets a lot of cooling.
Comment:
The disk works fine both in Windows8 and in Linux. In Linux, upgrade to util-linux-2.24.1 if you wish to use 'fdisk' to make the Linux partitions, which I did.
