Pros

Huge capacity.
Great performance.
Runs quiet.
5-year warranty.

Cons

Slow compared with drives using 1TB platters.
While price per GB is reasonable $340 is still a lot for a hard drive.

Overall we feel the WD Black 4TB presents a great balance of performance and capacity, and if the MSRP is met, price as well. With a massive 4TB capacity, consistently strong performance, quiet operating volume and a 5-year warranty we strongly recommend...

Huge and massively fast but this high price lets this disk down.

With a recommended retail price of around $429AUD (December 2012), the Western Digital 4TB also boasts a five year limited warranty which will give the user some additional piece of mind, considering the amount of data that you can store.

The Black 4TB may have been a long time coming but it was certainly worth the wait.
