Brand: Western Digital
SKU: HUS724040ALE641-DVR

Overview

The Western Digital (HGST) Ultrastar 7K4000 is an enterprise-class 3.5-inch internal hard drive offering 4TB of storage with a 7200RPM spindle speed, 64MB cache, and a SATA III 6.0Gb/s interface. Originally engineered for data center and enterprise environments, this drive is built to operate continuously around the clock with higher reliability ratings than consumer-grade alternatives. Its heavy-duty construction and vibration tolerance make it equally well-suited for home NAS systems, multi-drive RAID arrays, and CCTV DVR installations that demand dependable, always-on storage.

This renewed unit has been recertified using factory diagnostic software and subjected to a complete sector-by-sector scan to confirm zero bad sectors — a more rigorous process than the spot-checks used on many refurbished drives. The result is a drive that offers enterprise performance and build quality at a significantly reduced price point. Compatibility spans PC, Mac, NAS, RAID, and DVR systems, making it a versatile option for a wide range of storage needs. While the drive's prior usage history is unknown, the thorough recertification process and Amazon Renewed Guarantee provide a reasonable level of assurance for buyers looking to maximize storage value.
