    Was in a lookout for a storage solution for my brother in law who wants to maintain huge account files for his profession, found this WD product with 4TB, the same model with 2 TB was costly more in GameStop, so bought this one immediately, wonderful product, worth it.

    I needed an external hard drive in a hurry, and this fit the bill. It was used to initially back up around 3tb and it did so without any issue. Have since used it to periodocally back up smaller data sets - no problems so far, and the usb 3 connection is speedy. Price was reasonable.

    I was lucky and got a WD Red in my unit. WD Red drives were designed to be more reliable if you run your drive 24/7. This is a ymmv, as some folks have reported WD Blue drives in their enclosure.. which is not a bad thing, as I find either WD drives more reliable than "Sxxgate" drives.

    Breeze to use on the Xbox one. I have a lot more of the games in my library installed and ready to play now and it's definitely fast enough for games including 4k enhanced games. Personally, I put a small piece of electrical tape over the light since it's up by my TV.

    Got this item on sale and I'm sure it's even cheaper now. it's my back-up drive and it does that job without fault. Quiet too for a mechanical drive. This will probably be my last HD as SSds have become more reasonable.
