    I bought this when it was on sale ($120 off!), so it was a steal for the price. Not the fastest drive in the world, but I’m using it as an archive so it serves its purpose.

    The drive works as expected. IT is a bit slow waking up but it is for back-ups so this is not really a deal breaker.

    Got this external drive for backing up my digital media. I am not a big fan of storing my files in the cloud. File Transfer is pretty good. Disk is little bulkier, would have liked it better, if it was slim size.

    While this was easy to use for basic back-ups, some of the features it came with just wouldn't install / work properly, despite looking around quite a bit online for possible solutions. Still, the basic functionality worked and I've had no issues with it failing. It surprising how quickly these drives fill up though and, despite thinking 4TB was more than enough at the time, I'd definitely get a bigger drive if I was buying one again.

    I just connected the wires and everything is good to go. I use the Windows software for backup so can't comment on the WD version. I looked at it but I saw no reason to change from what I was familiar with.
