Great for storing backup of family memories! I would definitely buy this again.

So much faster than my old hard drives. It is very quiet. Best Buy had it for a good price so I went to Best Buy to get it. Only thing is the shiny plastic are prone to scratches.

This is the 3rd one that I have purchased. I'm using them to backup my network. They have all worked perfectly out of the box and actually provide better speed through USB3 than my older sata connected drives.

Easy to use and good to backup files for longer term storage - not the fastest read and write so I'd not recommend to save for short term use. Bought on sale for a great price.

I love these drives, but you do need to run the WD tool to test the drive before you start to use it. It takes about 30 hours to do it with a drive this size, but it's so worth it as the first one I got was bad.

Has worked as advertised. Always has high speed transfers unless the other disk is subpar. Using several of them. I've never been in need of more storage, so have only bought on sale.

Bought these during BF deals. I ended up shucking the drives out to the case and stuck in my media server. Its been running quiet and cool for the last 3 weeks with no down time.

A great way to back up all of your data. Can't go wrong with Western Digital

I liked the style, and the speed of the data, compatible with my MacBook Pro laptop

The item does everything that I expected it to do. I’m using it daily here and I know it works fine.

It works well and is quiet enough. It's pretty fast. The price fluctuates on these units quite a lot depending if they're on sale. On sale, they are a good value, otherwise I'd buy a NAS drive and use an enclosure instead.

It was works as it said it would. Every now and then i can hear a faint humming sound, but other wise no problems. I have not set up over the net use yet but as far as saving and recording it does well.

The drive is quiet and faster than the brand S drive it is replacing. The fact that some people buy this drive to "shuck" it for the physical disk inside is a testament to the quality of the parts used.

Overall this product does exactly what I need. I use it for saving audio books, TV shows, movies, etc. Unfortunately, as a previous reviewer stated, a significant amount of the "available resources" are taken up by something else and the full size was not available.

The external hard drive works seamlessly with my iMac. I've been looking at this unit for months waiting for a great price. Happy with the transaction and it works as stated.

So far it has had no problems and is fast, quiet, and runs cool. A great backup drive with plenty of space. I only wish it was not glossy plastic as it is easy to scratch and show fingerprints.

It works as expected and it is one of my main backups for archiving files

I have had no problems with this in the short time I have had it. It booted up quickly after being plugged in and had performed perfectly in the three weeks I have been using it.

The product works well, I wish that it was an SSD but HDD is fine

Needed a consolidated storage option for several computers. Typical WD quality at a great sale price from Best Buy!
