    Used this external drive to copy and store all files from old home computer. Small footprint and enough capacity to do the job.

    Great, reliable (so far) drive

    Using this drive as a network drive and it works great. Drive goes to sleep after some amount of time of non-use to save power, which is really nice. Also, I've never had an issue where it would not spin back up correctly after it's been in sleep mode, so that has worked perfectly. The only glitch so far (I believe) is related to a new Netgear Router I installed. I've had some, totally random, issues where copying files to the drive stalls. I'm assuming this is some issue or compatibility problem w/ the router, and not the drive itself, since I never had the issue when the drive was connected directly to a PC.

    I needed a multi-room entertainment storage device. I had bought a smaller WD HD for my PS4. Same connection 4TB! Plenty of storage space and a great price too!

    I purchased this external hard drive to back up my PC's. I did not realize that the is not any security features built into it. You cannot encrypt it so anybody can get to your data without a password. Reagrdless, it is 4TB so it will hold a LOT of data.

    Replaced a pair of 2TB drives with the new 4TB drives. Reused already plugged in power and USB cords. Took about five minutes to install and start a full system backup.

    I purchased this drive as a backup solution for all of the laptops in our home. This drive works perfectly for that. After plugging it in directly to our WiFi cable modem router via the USB port, I configured the drive for backups over our wireless network using the router's built-in backup/restore application. This drive is now backing up all of our laptops automatically directly over our home network. This drive includes its own backup/restore application and utilities, but I chose to use the router's backup/restore application instead (my preference, that's all).

    Except for the easyshare name which is exclusive to BestBuy, these are the same as the WD MyBook drives from a few years ago. Nice basic and reliable storage.
