    Really couldn't pass up on getting a 4TB for my MacBook Pro for $90! WD Hard-drives are very dependable and this one is no different!

    This is my second unit, always rely on these to store digital files for later reference/use. A great choice for budget minded users.

    This is a great mass storage device. Very easy to use. Just drag and drop. This is my third WD external drive and all work perfectly. I would definitely buy it again.

    For the low price and high amount of storage it's hard to find a better deal. This is a basic backup drive for me and I don't expect it to do a whole lot of heavy use.

    I've used this hard drive for a few weeks now and I'm quite happy with it. I use it to move around large files from my Mac to my Windows machine and vice versa. I also use it storage for old photos and videos. It reads fast and was an excellent price for the amount of memory. I will say that it had some sort of installer software on it -- completely unnecessary. Just format the drive as needed.

    I'm happy with the setup for this. The price was right for the amount of storage and the configuration was pretty simple. I have slight reservations about some of the functionality but nothing bad so far. Might update my review later if something goes a bit haywire.

    It is a great storage, but it is bulky and it does need a power brick connected to make it work. Other portable hard drives, as fast as this USB 3, offer same storage in smaller enclosure. But good product to use for backup when you only connect it now and then.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
