This is a great drive with fantastic read and write speeds. Although it is a bit loud when reading data to it but this drive is designed to be used and abused in enterprise servers so I knew what I was getting into here.

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...
Good product easy to install and very dependable compared to the black drives. Western Digital is currently making the best quality drives.
I bought this drive to replace a failed HDD which on investigation did not have a good reliability record. WD offer a 5 year warrantee and claim this drive has a workload rating up to 550TB per year (among the highest of any 3.5-inch hard drive) with up to 2.5 million hours MTBF.
So far: Solid, fast. Downside: they're a bit loud. Being designed for datacenter use, they're optimised for speed not noise levels - so if you use it in a desktop you'll likely notice the noise when it's seeking.

I installed 6 of these 4TB WD Red Pro HDDs into a NAS (RAID 5) and they work great. They come without screws for mounting so you will need to have some 6-32 x 1/4 screws with a flat head that will sit flush with the mounting tray. Great HDDs. I have much less trouble out of WD drives than Seagate.
I have used WD Red Pro drives in my Synology 1513+ NAS for almost 2 years. No errors! I trust the Pro series.
