My drive finally arrived yesterday and is all fitted now...
...is it me, and this might be because I've come from a 7200rpm drive, but does anyone else think their new drive is slow?

I'm contemplating sending mine back to Amazon

If you do decide that you really don't want it put it up in the FS forum instead please. I will gladly buy it off you and ParcelHero will do free/cheap delivery as well at the moment.

My order is saying that it is dispatching today. I guess if it was going to be cancelled, they'd have done it by now?

Is there a way of using this as a portable HDD? Is there some sort of device I can insert this into that will power it up so I can use this as a portable hard drive? Many thanks

Jumped in on this thinking it was an external drive (that'll teach me to read things properly) will I be able to put an enclosure on it and use it as a external dive via usb or will it need a mains supply?

I was right in at the start with this one, ordered just the one. Amazon is still saying "Not yet dispatched."
Should be alright shouldn't I?

Just received an e-mail to state it was a misprice and as a gesture of goodwill I'll get 1 unit only - fair doos.

Nope, just had £5 voucher on my account already. Hadn't picked up on that lol

Ordered 2 and came in at around 114 total which is right based on the deal.
Agree with others, if greens turn up just complain and get a discount or return them. Either way they are already cheap for 4tb.
Hassann to sparx1981
25 Oct 16#35
Did you get an additional discount?

25 Oct 16#34
Blues, green, red, black....at this price I'm not bothered which they send me, as long as amazon don't cancel.
sparx1981
25 Oct 16#33
Well it says they are blues so fingers crossed. Either way my order will be used for my steam library and a backup of my plex data. Either way, nothing lost if the drive is slower or dies eventually.

The reds have a faster timeout as they're intended for a RAID set.
The greens are slower and they park their heads quickly, you can change that to stop the head parking mechanism wearing out.

These good for NAS drives? I had a red and died after 3 years
Sorry to sound thick but can this WD drive be used in a desktop as a normal drive?

I have ordered, hope it is the Green version.
The product page shows I have ordered before and that was the 4tb green, so fingers crossed.

You'll probably get a 20 percent discount if you complain about realising after installing it

The picture shows a green drive and the description reads:
"Box Contains
1 x Western Digital Green 4 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (WDBH2D0040HNC-ERSN)"
so it will most definitely be a green drive arriving, even the reviews say a green drive arrives. Still green is fine for me as it's just for storing pictures, music and videos so this is still a great price. Picked up 2 :smiley:
