    Setup was easy out of the box for Mac OS X using Mac Disk Utility. Drive has now been in daily use for nearly two months with no performance issues. So far, so good.

    I used this to expand the storage of my PS4. I have the original PS4 from when they first came out. So far, so good. I can't give 5 stars because I don't know how long it'll last. If it lasts at least 3 years, I'll come back and give it 5 stars.

    The first Western Digital external hard drive that didn't need to be reformatted . Just plug it in and Windows 10 will do a backup to it. Very easy.

    It took a few tries to format for Mac, but since then there have been no issues. I ended up buying 2 of them since they provide lots of storage for a cheap price.
