Not good.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not a good item. It goes to sleep after 2 minutes of inactivity and then I can not reject it.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to replace Drobo NAS. Mac Monterey 12.5. Unit would not boot, not even recognizable by Disk Utility. If it doesn't work out of the box, not gonna fight it any further. Big warning for Mac Users, DON'T BUY.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 4 of these, 2 were dead on arrival. They would spinup, but would not mount or be recognized in any way, in any OS. I returned all 4 because I could not trust them.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bad drive, lot of crashes. would not load up. Constantly breaking. Lost 13TB of data
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat drive (1 month of use). Fingers crossed.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Is quieter in comparison to typical hard drives. Not saying it's quiet; just quieter. I typically get about 150 MB/sec transfers, but that's if it's the only data being processed on the bus line. Also, it could be a bottle neck somewhere else in my system. I use it for data storage backup. Not for real time processing or gaming. It also has a power save mode so if it takes a nap, it takes a few seconds to get up to speed before it starts processing data transfers. I've always preferred WD drives. They seem to be built to last longer than other name brands.

I would recommend this to a friendThrown Out After Recovery
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this drive for about 2 years and it lost half its capacity. I transferred the files I could get to however, the WD Utility said, the rest of the drive had bad sectors. No utility was able to recovery the bad areas. I ended up throwing it out as e-waste for fear the drive would completely fail. this is the 3rd external WD drive I've had fail. No more WD going to a m.2 NAS.
