I have pretty much maxed out my current storage and am looking to purchase a 4 TB internal HDD for my W7 64 bit desktop PC.
I have a mix of Seagate and WD internal HDD's installed currently and have had zero issues.
I dont necessarily have to stick with any particular brand. It has been a while since I've looked at drives so I dont know what manufacturer is currently recommended.
The 3 internal HDD's are all 2 TB with my primary drive being a WD 2 TB Black Caviar.
The purpose of the new drive will be media.
Any recommendations?
Also, how about an external dock recommendation for whatever 2 TB HDD I remove?

You can go with 4TB edition of WD Black Caviar or if you are using NAS then 4TB WD Red Caviar. If on budget then WD 4TB Caviar Blue. Yes all WD

Best solution
Streaming audio/video is sequential access.

Overall, this product meets the performance requirements of most applications while delivering significantly less power consumption. If your application requires mostly sequential read/writes, then the drive will perform comparable to a 7,200 RPM drive. However, if your application performs mostly random mode operations, then the performance may drop by about 10% because of the latency time. If the Green Power product does not meet your performance needs then we have our Raid Edition line of 7,200 RPM Enterprise drives that will deliver the performance you need at the industry’s best reliability.

Dear if you are really into streaming thing then better opt for this series from WD:
http://www.wdc.com.pk/en/products/products.aspx?id=150
Otherwise you can also opt for MyCloud Storage of WD:
http://www.wdc.com.pk/en/products/products.aspx?id=1140
Still, I would suggest WD Blue series drive if you are not going for above options.

first step would be to verify your motherbd actually supports a 4tb drive.
