## Description

Review: best HDD on the market - Best hard drive on the market - but worth it if you need longevity and ultiimate reliability. This is the finest drive in the Western Digital Collection, faster than the black, more longevity than the red. Its the pinnacle of HDD technology.
Review: A Good choice for NAS - We bought two of these Western Digital WD4002FYYZ 4 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drives, to populate a NAS system. For those people who may be unclear about a NAS, it is a network-attached storage device, which holds one or more hard disks and connects into your network, giving other devices access to the stored content. This Western Digital WD4002FYYZ 4 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drive – Gold, is well suited to be used in NAS devise. This drive, in particular, has a storage capacity of 4TB and has a substantial 128MB Cache. The accompanying bumf states “to make sure all of this data is kept safe the GOLD HDD’s are equipped with enhanced RAFF Technology which monitors the drive and corrects both linear and rotational vibration in real time, this along with the Multi-axis shock sensor and StableTrac Technology gives you peace of mind to know your data is safe”. In operation, the drive noise is better than OK and has a rotation speed of 7200 rpm. I must confess I am a western digital user when it comes to getting hard drives, or should I say populating a new NAS system. It is early days yet - nonetheless, I am happy with the Western Digital WD4002FYYZ 4 TB 3.5-Inch Hard Drive so far. I shall update if there any issues, hence my four-star rating.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any significant difference between the gold drives and the red nas drives?**
A: Reds are usually 5400 RPM and perhaps lower power consumption with the idea of several drives being in the same NAS bay.  Reds are also usually 3 year warranty with 1 million hours MTBF.   Golds are 7200 RPM, 5 year warranty, 2.5 million hours MTBF.

**Q: How noisy are these? Would it be a good choice for quiet high-performance workstation?**
A: I've had two of these WD Gold (2TB) HDD's installed in separate computers, both purchased together in 2016, both are very quiet when compared to the high performance (SATA-2) Caviar Black. Until that point, had been running mostly WD RE4 (SATA-2) drives for data, in a couple of PC's, for OS also. Mainly because I could get these at low cost, often new pulls from servers for $50 or less (500GB to 1TB). Did buy a couple of used ones less, these also held up well. None has died. Yet back to the point & WD Gold, it's as good of a data/desktop drive as it gets. 128MB cache on all models which upgrades to 256MB around 4GB & larger, it beats the current gen WD Black hands down. While the WD Gold does have features for RAID usage, if used as a single desktop drive (or paired with SSD for data, how I use my pair), the performance is nothing less than Outstanding. If one has their PC plugged into a UPS emergency power (highly recommended), for best performance, go into Device Manager & find the drive, under Policies, check 'Turn off Windows write caching buffer flushing for this device' (or similar wording). 

As far as noise goes, unless in the rare event that the WD Gold has gone bad, look elsewhere, maybe a fan. Mine are installed using the rubber bushings provided with my heavily sound insulated Fractal Design case. If one doesn't have these bushings or grommets, can be found in a bulk back at most any local hardware store. Just carry the screw intended for installing, can match with one that fits the screw well. Ideally one which has a groove in the middle to place in the mounting hole, may have to wet to slide into place (I use saliva, works great!). This absorbs any vibration & also helps to protect the WD Gold or any HDD. BTW, these drives are rated for 550TB writes per year, a factor in my purchase decision. I have zero regrets as to purchasing the WD Gold, only $5 more & 2x the cache versus the same sized WD Black. 

In summary, I cannot recommend the WD Gold enough to anyone who wants a long lasting, quality HDD.

**Q: Do the wd gold 4tb enterprise drives come with screws for mounting?**
A: NO.  None of the drives I have ever received from WD or Seagate ever came with screws.  I have plenty on hand from old junk chassis.  You should be able to obtain the size you need for your particular project from a hardware store.

**Q: Is this a component drive or retail kit? what is the actual warranty provided for this product?**
A: Component drive shipped in brown WD protective box, which prevents it from shifting during shipment. My two has a white label on the lid with model, serial number, UPC & quantity (usually 1). You should retain this box & contents at least for the length of warranty, also a useful place to store backup drives used in a docking station. Since most IT departments, PC builders & shops has the needed accessories on hand, this saves $15 or more (dependent on size) of drive cost. Cables & screws are low in cost & can be found often on promo. Many PC cases will ship with screws for HDD install, and some business models has an extra set hidden behind a blank bezel , where a 2.5" accessory is usually mounted. Warranty is 5 years if purchased new & I highly recommend to check serial number on the WD site before installing. If less than 5 years, either the HDD is of previous gen, or has been previously registered (used). It's also possible that the warranty began when shipped to the Seller, if only a few months, no big deal. 

This is why it's best to purchase current gen HDD's to ensure the most warranty. A drive can be new (unused), yet has been sitting in a warehouse for several years & WD's warranty expires. If not sold direct from Amazon or other large supplier, be sure to check Feedback of Marketplace Seller. Some may provide their own warranty, yet unless price is substantially reduced to reflect the reduction, best to look elsewhere. Be sure to ask questions before purchase, preferably with an email confirmation, to ensure of this. There's usually a low cost option for a SquareTrade 3 or 4 year warranty (based upon price) which can be added to purchase, otten less than $5 through Amazon.. Which more than pays for itself if the need to ship back arises, many OEM's requires the consumer bear this price. SquareTrade protection ensures the item is returned at no charge, will send an email with label to print & they do the rest within 5 business days. I purchase the extra protection for the shipping benefit alone, plus no haggling with an OEM, if they can't repair the item, will refund purchase price in full. Gets no simpler than that & still costs less than purchasing a retail drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with this product so far - recommended
*by J***D on 19 July 2018*

+ Good price (per gb) + Reasonable performance + Good reliability (so far) I always buy Western Digital, I've never had one of their drives fail on me (yet). So I'll quite happily keep buying them! Why go for any of the green/blue/black/red series ones when you can have a gold series. Do it.
