4TB Hard Drives: price, size and what to pick
What it costs. A 4TB hard drive runs $142.40 to $328.85 today across the 16 we have prices for, a typical $48.75/TB, with the Toshiba P300 4TB the cheapest space at $35.60/TB. Prices come from several retailers and update daily.
Is 4TB the right size? A 4TB hard drive is a sensible second drive in a desktop: room for a photo library, a few years of documents and a full backup of a 1TB SSD, without paying for capacity you will not fill.
How long it lasts. Warranties at this size run 3 years typically, and a drive that survives its first year usually runs for many. Keep a backup regardless: a hard drive is a mechanical part.
Which one to pick. On specs alone the WD Red Pro 4TB leads the table at 82/100, while the Toshiba P300 4TB gives you the most space for the money. Sort by value above to weigh the two against each other.
What to check at 4TB
Recording type first. Of the 4TB drives here, 9 are confirmed CMR and 4 are SMR. SMR drives pack tracks closer together and can slow sharply during long writes and RAID rebuilds, so a NAS or a backup target wants CMR. Then look at the workload rating, which says how much reading and writing per year the maker designs the drive for, and the warranty. 5 of these are NAS drives, rated to run continuously.
Every row is one drive at exactly this size. Open a drive’s name for its full spec sheet, price history and, where Backblaze covers the model, its measured failure rate. The hard drive hub lists every capacity.
