    Our computer had crashed but we’re lucky enough that we had purchased this product and were relieved that all our files, pictures and videos had been backup on the external drive.

    I bought this to allow me to backup several computers. The 4TB size makes it great for doing that. If you have no problem with the full 3.5" internal drive size, this drive will work well for you.

    This load much b faster than ps4 normally. I doubt I need 4 tb but it is only an extra $25 to jump from 2 to 4 tb. Will be useful for next gen too

    Bought this hard drive for external storage for my Playstation 4 and it works amazingly well with it. Just plug it in and the ps4 formatted it and started installing games on it.

    I found that I was running out of storage and needed more. I have used WD products previously and found them to be of good quality. This has been a good one so far. Easy to install and get going.

    Used for extra storage for my son's PS4. Works flawlessly. He now has plenty of storage for his game library. It has quick response times and there is zero lag.

    I do a lot of Photography and have tens of thousands of photos that I need to back up and lock in a safe you can set this drive to backup on a schedule but I choose to just back up when I've added new photos and put it in a fireproof safe it seems to work fairly easy and has plenty of storage

    I use it with my mac without any issues. I originally wanted one of the slim HDs, but opted for a bigger HD and that meant that it would take more space. Either way it just sits on my desk.

    Drives are WD Blue drives, which is not as good as the previous drives in these sets that were WD Red. Still good for the price. Easy to shuck and place as bare drives in your PC if needed.

    The external hard drive came with extra software that doesn’t work with this model. Only after calling WD for help did I find that out. I was not impressed with that confusion. The hard drive has worked well once it was set up.
