    This USB storage is being used as a backup and is connected to a Western Digital My Cloud EX2 Ultra NAS storage device. The drives hold all my entertainment content and are accessible from any device, Mac and PC, from my home network. Highly recommend getting help from Geek Squad, unless you are a network wizard.

    Massive & Dependable Storage

    I've used numerous hard drives over many years and overall, Western Digital makes the most dependable, reasonably priced, and widely available products. They're far better than its main competitor, Seagate. This model is a whopping 12 TB! All my systems are Macs and I use this one as a Time Machine backup for my home theater's Mac Mini, which I have set up as a media server. That Mac Mini has 2 smaller WD hard drives, one for storing media and the other for archived material. WD's newest management software does a great job and also recognizes and manages the other 2 WD hard drives. While no hard drive can guarantee total dependability, I've had the best results from WD. It's always important to do regular backups and maintain redundancy of your data.

    I have several Western Digital drives. They are all very good. This one is no different. Due to the global chip shortage, it was quite pricey; but it was worth it.

    If you need a reliable, large capacity external drive look no further. These WDs are basically Red NAS Sata drives in an external case. If you choose to shuck them they work well internally in arrays but the warranty may go bye bye. Externally they run well with solid speeds and are USB 2.0 compatible if need be.
