    Never needed an external hard drive until now. Not sure if they require formatting or anything but I literally just plugged it in and started saving my school work to it.

    Very pleased with this drive so far. I just started transferring files. I have decided I don't want to store files on my desktop. Was pleased the speed of the transfer. Never thought I would need a drive this big, but for the price, I couldn't pass it up. Thanks Best Buy!

    I have other WD external drives and have never had a problem so when my boys needed more space for their Playstation 4 I bought this 4TB drive. All we needed to do was plug it in and go to the Playstation settings to format it. So far so good.

    We purchased this as additional storage for our Xbox One. It formatted easily for the Xbox and has become a staple to the game system for the kids. It allowed us to purchase a cheaper system (less storage) and also allows the kids to take their games to a friends home.

    Works Great as data storage for my movies and tv shows. I use this with the Shield TV. I can take these two devices anywhere I want and am able to watch my selection, even if there is no internet connection. Works quickly. I will update review if I have any failures.

    I mainly use drives like this for manual backup of my files. I bought the 4 TB size to try an use it for manual and programmatic (using WD's software) backups. The initial WD software backup took a long time (for approx. 650 GBs). I have not yet tried a restore from that backup hence only 4 stars. If you want this drive to store large amounts of media and large media files this is a good choice.Use a USB 3.0 port and your files fly from their location to the drive

    This replaced a powered hard drive that had compatability issues with my Xbox. This works flawlessly. Plug and play with no external power needed. Be warned that 4tb fills up quickly. I have about half my games on this and half on ps4 and it still fills up fast.
