    Great drive for backup and archiving. Comes with easy to setup and use backup software. Set it and forget it. Can't get any easier.

    WD is selling a RED NAS drive as an external USB drive, and Best Buy has the best price on it at less than $100. This is a steal!

    The hard drive itself is great but WD support is not. I called WD support to get this hard drive set up for time machine on my Mac. I (incorrectly) thought this would be an easier & more efficient way to go. On my first call the rep at WD did the screen share and walked me thru the formatting & setup. It seemed to work but after my computer went to sleep over night I got "Time Machine Backup Failed". It took 2 more calls, more screen shares and a couple more hours on the phone to WD until finally they got it to work properly. Previously I always bought plug and play external hard drives. This time I went for a better drive at a lower cost but more set up involved. In the end it was worth it but very frustrating along the way.
