I used it to do some backups with fastcopy and syncthing. Works fine so far (only been 3 weeks), although the included cable is kinda short, but most people may not mind. Also, I specifically ordered red, but was sent black, but didn't bother trying to return it, at least it was the correct model. I have a bunch of WD portables and wanted to change it up.

I purchased the Toshiba Canvio Advance 4TB External USB 3.0 portable hard drive to make system back-up images for computer security. It works great and with 4TB capacity, I have no worries about running out of space!

I like the Product, but I have ordered the unit in BLACK 2 different times, and both times received a RED unit instead. For my uses it is a minor matter of aesthetics, but it would seem that you have a problem in the parts department. To be specific: I have ordered P/N HDTCA40XK3CA, and received P/N HDTCA40XR3CA on two separate orders.

Awesome new drive. Yes, I love the textured cover. The best part was the sale price. Turned out to be a really good device for storing a large photo collection. The prices here even top the big site sale prices. Good job Best Buy.

It gets the job done. The PS5 uses the external drive for PS4 game storage. There is some delay loading, but it’s faster than loading thru the network
