    Super Solid External Hard Drive. Not alot of added features, but does the basics great. Add On Software Sucks and is a resource hog. But works great with all other software packages and windows itself. No issues whatsoever.

    Great deal. This drive is fast. A small note, the packaging scratches the plastic on the outside of the drive. If you keep your drive in the manufacturing box, a couple commutes and the plastic case will scratch the exterior. I knew this about WD packaging and feel it is worth the price. If you aren't worried about appearance, it has no impact on the machine itself. I have been using for a large project for months with no problems.

    Nice drive, lots of storage, good price (though it went $20 lower about 3 weeks after I bought it). Like all external drives it comes preinstalled with crap software so I highly recommend that as soon as you plug it in, format the drive. Other than that, it's good to go.

    I bought this external drive for the sole purpose of expanding the storage capacity of my Xbox one. Setup was easy, and it is working perfectly. Only drawbacks are that it requires an external power supply (included), and it vibrates a little bit. For $89, it was a great value.

    So far this is very easy to use. I followed the instructions and it was simple. I have one of this already, but a different name. I really like the idea that you can just unplug it and move it out of the way if need be. Also for the price it was well worth getting the extra terra bite

    I know that solid state is all the rage but I've had some issues with SSDs. So, this 4TB drive is exactly what I need for backing up my stuff. With USB3, it transfers data a lot faster than I expected and seems to do so reliably. Great purchase at the price I paid.

    I already owned this external hard drive but bought it again for my daughter to use at college. Price was too good to pass up and although WD is releasing externals with much more space (10GB, 12GB), this will work for now.

    We purchased this external hard drive for my Dad to back up his computer. It was easy to install and easy to set up. Basically, plug and play. Great price for the amount of storage that he needed. Highly recommend if you need an external hard drive.
