    Works as expected. I plugged it in and was able to transfer files. Really all I could ask. All told, I am happy with the purchase.

    I use it for my Xbox Series X and works amazing. But as the norm, u can’t play series X games directly from it but you can play Xbox one games directly from it.

    Time Will Tell, But So Far Great!

    Hate to give a HD an early review as time tells with these things, but so far it has been doing a great job. Using this as a back to a NAS. Only issue I have is that the casing puts the HD into hibernation mode when I need it to be on at all times. But not a big deal; it is actually forcing me to have more security by keeping it disconnected except when backing up. Great drive and always better when on sale!

    It’s a okay drive. Had to return first one because of excessive vibration and head banging noise in case. Second drive has no vibration but still has heads banging in case when NOT being accesssed. Gets quiet when reading. Laid drive on it’s side, it helps slightly. This is a known issue WD, even had it with a 12 tb drive when upright, that one is silent when laid on its side now.
