    It is a good size and the drive itself is a WD Red drive which are the ones they use for enterprise level NAS systems so it should last awhile.

    I have this connected to my Xbox One. I feel like it is faster than the internal 500gb drive and provides vastly more storage.

    This is an inexpensive and high capacity hard drive. My only complaint is regarding the setup process. It was supposed to be simple to properly format it for use as a Time Machine drive on my Mac, but it was a bit convoluted.

    The drive is large and bulky by current standards, but the price was right for 4TB of mass storage. I'm using it with Time Machine on my Mac and so far it seems to be working fine.

    This WD easystore is a great external drive. It comes with several useful apps, including one for migration of pics from all my social media accounts so I can backup and archive my memories. Easy to set up and get going on my iMac
