    I have used every manafactuer external hard drive made since they came out several years ago. Networked, dedicated, portable. Western Digital seems to have the best Drives made. I cant recall any WD hard drive failing before it's time and most last well into old age and beyond. As of this writing I have 2 dedicated 3 portable and a networked backup that are all Western Digital. The network drive with redundancy is several years old.

    In my opinion, everyone should invest in an external HD. Having a backup for family photos, videos, documents, and even video games makes life easier. I had to re-install Windows on my desktop so I picked this up to keep all the stuff I didn't want to re-download and re-install (games, pictures, videos, documents, etc). Instantly read by my desktop every time it's plugged in and easy to disconnect by right clicking and ejecting it from my computer before pulling the physical cable. 4 months and still working as intended.

    I primarily bought it to back up my desktop computer. Since the capacity is 4T, I still have a lot of memory to store my photos and videos.

    We needed to upgrade our storage capacity to protect our data. With a better CPU we purchased more memory and this drive fit the bill.

    This gets 4 stars only because this is not the pocket model. It will do what I need. Nowhere in the description did they mention this was the desktop model. It was a great daily deal.
