    I am not tech-savvy AT ALL, but I managed to figure out how to use this hard drive as an automatic daily backup of all my files. So glad I got it.

    I just purchased an iMac and needed a solid external hd to run Time Machine. This is the best I've seen. No problems at all. Highly recommended.

    This is exactly what I needed to have as my own hard drive back up. It's easy to use, has a good sized memory and will do what I need it to do.

    I bought this for my dad when it was on sale for $90. Of course, there was this noise when you shook the item so I don't know if that's a defect or not. Anyways, he'll be using this to store his photos and videos from his Windows computer.

    We bought this to replace an old dinosaur of a hard drive that we've had for years. This one is smaller, easier to use and holds A LOT. We have been putting all of our pictures and documents on this hard drive as we know that our computer will not last as long. If there is ever an emergency in the house, this is one of the first things we will grab!

    I have 2 of these things and work great! One I have connected to my xbox it was just plug and go and the xbox did the rest. The other is on my media server storing all my movies and TV shows again just plug and go. I couldn't ask for a better device. Only con is it's big and clunky but that's not really a big deal

    The WD-easystore 4TB backup drive was a breeze to set up and it's been working without any issues since I purchased it about 1 month earlier. I copied over about 1.1TB material from another backup drive that I was running in the last 8 years but started to behave funny lately. Backup of the backup was successful, no issues.

    I bought this on sale for $79.99 to use as extendable storage for my PS4 Pro. There is plenty of storage and great transfer speeds. I never have any hiccups when playing games from it. You could fit about 50 copies of RDR2 on here to give a perspective on the storage capacity.

    I absolutely love this and I am so glad I bought it! I had to keep uninstalling games just to update my games or when I was downloading new games. You can format this to you PS4 and all your games will automatically download and update their info onto the device and your games will still pop up on the home screen list!

    I finally got tired of adding, deleting , then redownloaing , then deleting ally Xbox one games. So when I saw this on sale I pulled the trigger with other reviewers saying it worked fast and easy. 2 weeks in and absolutely no complaints. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know about "Reds" , but it took 2 minutes to unbox, 3 minutes to format and a few hours to download my entire backlog of Xbox games. Love it, works as advertised and would recommend for any gamer, especially if you can get it under 70!
