    Runs silently and works

    I had this HDD added to a new PC purchased in December 2024. I just picked up the first 4TB drive I saw on the shelf at Best Buy. It runs silently and seems pretty quick to access the files that I do have stored on it. Running a disk utility shows it to be 'only' 5400 rpm. I had sort of expected a higher rpm rate, but admit that I also like the quieter and less power hungry attributes of a slower spin rate. I have owned dozens of computers in the last 35 years and so far have never had a HDD fail on me, so I expect many years of service from this one. Bear in mind that the first HDD I bought was a 40MB (mega, not giga!) one for $600 in 1986 dollars, so the price per unit storage has dropped by several orders of magnitude.

    Specifically I’d like to give an excellent rating to the employees in the audio/visual home security department. Several employees in other departments told us incorrect information, but the 2 gentlemen from the home security audio/visual department were a huge help and directed us to the correct item that we needed.
