    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.

    Bought this for the Xbox. Yes, a little slow (not a 7200+ RPM drive), but 4TB <$90! Great deal.

    This unit is slightly larger than the MyBook units I have, but still looks to provide good physical protection for the drive. Great large file IO speeds. Smaller wall-wart power supply than older units have had. My WD drives have all lasted longer than other brands I have used.

    The good thing about this product is it's storage space. The bad part is there are flash drives that are self powered with the same or more storage. That are more reliable. If dropped this drive can lose your data. It's bulky and requires you to plug it into a outlet.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Gets minus for the need to have external power, not powered through the usb connection. Though that might not be a minus, because another usb powered external drive I have gets disconnected all the time because it draws too much power and my MBP won’t stand for it. The external power cancels that drawback, but more wires is less than optimal.

    Very fast transfer. Allows me to separate all my different work for different companies and does NOT get hot. Should last years since I only turn-on when I need to use it.

    I really like this drive. I chose the 3.5" drive and Western Digital combo for it's reliability. So far the USB 3.0 does indeed read/write at about 5GB/s. I am nowhere near full capacity, but I do wish I got the 8TB model as the price difference isn't much.

    This device works as advertised for so many things. I used it for a while as network storage attached to my Asus Router, and it worked like a charm. Then I used it to perform periodic backups from my main PC, and it was able to handle the constant I/O without issues.
