Great external storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had several Western Digital hard drives, and all of them are still going strong. My only problem is I keep filling them up, but with 4TB of space, it will be a while before I need another one.

Excellent external hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not computer savvy. Used a slide rule in high school. This hard drive was plug and play. Very easy to use without the usual computer upgrade headaches I've had it for a month so far without a hitch.

Spacey
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fairly fast. Not a gaming SSD, so its what you'd expect. Plenty of room. So far, seamless. Also, about bulky and outdated, judging by size. Still, you get what you pay for, and I'd sacrifice a little room for a little dough. If you plan on having this HD stationed, more the reason to go for it.

Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed it for backups and it comes with WD backup software which you can setup and schedule. Works great. I like that this drive is formated NTFS which boots fine when plugged into pc in windows. I bought another WD Backup from best buy few months ago (MY Book) it also works great but because it's formatted exfat my pc will not boot if it is connected, but I can connect it fine after booting. EXFAT is a format used to make the drive compatible with both pc and mac, if you have a mac get the my book. You can also re-format the drive to either format. (NTFS or EXFAT) In my case I had already copied a bunch of files to the mybook drive and did not want to reformat. If you have a pc get this drive, easystore.

Great mass storage device.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The WD - easystore® 4TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive is an easy 5 star product. I have a 2TB version of the same specs, and it too is a real winner. The 4TB drive is fast and quiet. I do not know which WD 4TB drive is inside, but I trust WD to provide me with great mass storage/back-up devices. The 4TB unit does not disappoint. The drive is quiet and fast. I have stuff archived since the 1990s. It is all stored in three formats. I have it archived an DVDs, on external HDDs, and some in the cloud. The WD external drives make the best value in a TB/cost analysis. This is a great big drive. I can unhesitatingly recommend it for archiving, and other purposes. No qualifiers. This is a solid product.

Great Value!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit is plug and play easy and gives you TONS of storage. It's a bit larger than I expected, but then, it IS 4TB. Overall, I'd say it's a great value.

Great drive at a great price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Western Digital makes the best drive by far. I literally have a dozen of them hooked to my desktop machine. I do 3D animation and video editing, and there is nothing more reliable than a WD hard drive.

Good product overall
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as any other memory, I don’t like that the orientation is in the stand position, way easier to knock down

Solid external hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for the drive inside. These used to have WD Red drives, so I was disappointed to find a WD Blue drive in it. However, after using it 24/7 in a TiVo for nearly a month, it still works flawlessly.

Many years ahead.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I work in a surveillance dept. There we need to save some of the important footage, either for references or courts. The 4T is a mayor plus as it takes years of information. I strongly recommend it.
