    The USB 3.0 interface is fast, and 4tb is plenty of room for all my media. Also, these units contain WD red NAS drives so I know it will be reliable in the future.

    So far, working great. Very easy to setup. Really wish there was a way to attach without the external power, but for my purposes its not too much of a hassle.

    This external USB hard drive is a great deal of storage for the money. It's pretty much plug-n-play, but if you install the WD software, it'll keep everything backed up & running smoothy for you, so I highly recommend to do that. It's extremely quiet, in fact, i don't hear it at all. The previous external USB HD I had, got power via the USB port, but this one has it's own power cord. I don't mind this at all, but I thought it'd be important to note for those interested.

    I needed more storage space and with the sales at time of purchase the price was right to go from 2tb to 4tb. Setup was plug and play and works withWIN10.

    We bought the product from Best Buy because it was readily available. It was not necessarily the “best price.” This external hard drive fits our purposes to a tee. Highly recommend! You should not require a minimum number of characters for a review.

    Good way to have regular backups

    This is a nice hard drive to have for regular backups. I would do good about backing up my photos regularly, but wasn't so great about remember to backup my other files. You can set up a schedule (every day at a specific time or only certain days, etc.) and then it does it. The first backup it tried failed, but I was able to figure out why using WD's website and it had step by step instructions on how to resolve the problem. It's also a roomy 4 GB and I use it as a media server for my Amazon Fire Stick so I can stream to my TV. All in all, seems to be a good purchase.

    I purchased this to backup my failing computer and more than happy with the result. The transfer went smoothly and I now have data backup off my local computer. I also am able to know transfer files between home and work computers which is great.
