    This drive is a beast! I picked this up to run my Plex Media Server from my Nvidia Shield Pro. I can store a crazy amount of movies, TV shows, and music on this drive. WD always makes great products. I've never had issues with them. You can't go wrong!

    All's good, especially since this was on sale! I've partitioned this drive into three 4TB chunks, and that works well for me. I've only used it for less than a month... My previous WD external drives have lasted years, and I have every reason to expect that this one will too!

    Shucked a couple of these drives to install in my Unraid server. Works fantastic put I did have to put electrical tape on the 3rd pin to get the PC to recognize it. This will not be a problem if you're just using the drive externally. WD is my hard drive vendor of choice.

    Got this one of the many times it is on sale. Really good price per/tb and I have never had an issue with these. Just be prepared to wait for 24+ hrs if you want to format it before using (not a necessity, but I prefer to do it, to check/reroute any bad sectors)

    12 TBs is a massive amount of space. The data transfer is fast. The only negative is it requires a power outlet and the plug itself is big and bulky so it doesn't fit neatly into a power strip next to a bunch of other plugs. But other than that, it's a great product.

    I purchased this for the XBox One X. I was able to put over 120 games from Xbox Gamepass on it and still have some room. It is bulky, but what do you expect from something that stores a lot more games than what you can play at once.

    Make sure to use this on a USB 3.x computer port to get the full speed of this drive. I can back up multiple computers with this. To really be safe, you might want two to back up each other in case you move data to this drive instead of copy to this drive.
