You can absolutely use this to run games and I say this having done so myself. It would be a lie to say this is "incapable" of it, it preforms with my friends SSD's, albeit they aren't modern it's a pretty high-run drive. You can count on it to load fairly quick, It even loads Elden Ring in under 5 seconds for me. Never had an issue with it, but as other reviewers say, it's refurbished so quality may vary. I got this back in 2018 before HGST was bought out by WD.

HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 HUS724040ALE641 4TB 64MB Cache 7200RPM SATA III 6.0Gb/s 3.5in Enterprise Internal Hard Drive (Renewed) w/1 Year Warranty

Q: does this work as a desktop Mac Pro hdd?

Yes. It's a SATA drive. It will work as one of your internal drives on your Mac Pro. You will only need to format using Disk Utility. Very easy.

Q: What is the default bytes per sector? I need 4k native sector size of unallocated/non-formatted disk to add mirror raid to existing 4k native drive.

If you reformat the drive when you install it, it should be reformatted to the system which you are using and thus the configuration will be correct.

Q: Does this work as a laptop hdd? planning to install in a vaio. thank you!

The others are correct, it cannoot be used as an internal laptop hard drive. This, and most internal hard drives can be made to work as an external hard drive using a USB adapter, but there's usually better solutions. Most USB 2.0/3.0 adapters that interface with internal SATA and/or IDE drives draw their power from a 115VAC adapter (regular household plug here in the U.S.) and are primarily intended as a temporary solution for data transfer off a drive that came out of another PC or server. Having said all that, I have several of these in the 3TB and 4TB size drives (ordered from another Amazon account) which I use primarily for software RAID ("Mirror" drives in Windows Disk Manager terminology), and one I use for multimedia in the laptop with a USB 3.0 IDE/SATA adapter. It's not a very aesthetic solution, but it's cheap, works great, and I can output from the laptop to a large HDTV + stereo amp.
