    This drive come format with GPT partition so for those media player can not read that kind of partition ;you need to delete the partition and convert back into MBR partition and reformat. After that constant transfer speed at 95-100MB/sec.

    I bought this as a backup for tax records, important documents and family pictures. I decided to buy a trusted brand (WD) to make sure my data is secure. The drive is quiet, quick, and comes with installed software.

    My computer files, documents and pictures are too valuable to lose. Backup, backup, backup! WD external hard drives are the best! I can easily take it between home and school. Much easier than carrying a laptop.

    I have many of these drives, haven't had any problems so far. (I switched to WD when I had two out of three Seagate drives fail on me.) A good buy. And if on sale, it's an even better buy.

    Works perfectly! I’m a photographer and needed a portable hard drive to store photos on. After having 2 brands that never worked quite how I wanted, I settled for this and so far, so good! Works pretty fast too! (iMac user)

    I needed another hard drive for my studio. I store very large files that I need access to regularly. This drive worked perfectly out of the box and has been reliable ever since. I would buy this hard drive again if needed.
