The Western Digital Black (WD4001FAEX) offers plenty of storage space with 4 TByte and employees pleasantly quietly when tested. However, the transfer rates are only average and cannot justify the high price/GByte ratio of 6.0 cents/GByte.

  • PositiveExtremely much space

  • Negativehigh power consumption

The Western Digital Black 4000GB is fast on the move. The high practical data rates and short access times in particular speak in favour of the high-capacity drive.
