    Easy to use & does the job well. Color is classic black, so it blends nicely.

    I bought it back on Black Friday on sale. I use it as external storage for my Xbox one x and it still works like the first day I got it. I have even accidentally knocked it over a few times and it is still in working order.

    I haven't used the included software. I love the capacity. I'm using this drive to backup two others. So it's a backup of my two other backup drives. Just in case one of them fails. They are both older. Great buy. Works great. Fast. No problems.

    Everyone needs an external hard drive and Western Digital makes the best one. With laptops these days built with no CD-ROM an external storage device is a must. This is the one to purchase.

    I've been using a cloud backup service for a couple years now and the biggest drawback is that your restore speed is limited by your internet connection. Now with 4TB available for local backup, I cam restore files in a fraction of the time!

    This has been great and easy to use. The backup software allows you to pick and choose the folders you want in your backup schedule. The backup process does not affect computer performance, so that's a plus!

    I love being able to back up all my files and computer backup on a daily basis. I like knowing my files are stored at home not in another country or warehouse. Who cares about my business as much as I do.... No one...

    These DAS drives have legit Western Digital Red NAS drives inside (the good ones). What you pay for the drive and enclosure is about 15% less than trying to buy the drive by itself.

    So I picked up the cheapest 4tb 3.0 USB drive I could to store my ever growing DVD library for my Plex server. It has preformed well for my DVD library, but the 7200 rpm drive falters a little when playing back my Blu-ray content. That being said, I'll evetually replace it with a SSD for the Blu-ray content... So no big complaints.
