    I'm not sure if I received a bad batch. But I've had to delete and reformat this twice already while having it. I'm hoping that this isnt a regular occurrence. I'm using it for my backbook pro, but it wont always mount correctly on hard drive.

    I love the WD Easystore series drives. They work great for NAS systems once they are shucked. You can re-use the enclosure as well.

    It's a hard drive. Shuck the plastic Scheiße off and stick it in your desktop and use it for a backup. If you just have a laptop, you probably have no use for this much space in a backup drive. Do not use for anything but backups, it's slow as Scheiße.

    Got this on sale for substantially less than comparable drives. Worked fine for a couple weeks. One night the power went out. When i restaryed the computer the drive had disappeared. Troubleshooting for hours didn't help. Had to return it for a replacement.

    As hard drives keep getting & Bigger we need the space for our 4K Videos from our drones & GoPro's. Luckily as they get bigger storage I can somehow manage to fill them up. Works great & love the more storage!
