    Great HD to use with my PLEX media server. I have a ton of movies and TV shows on this to store as my media server. I got 2 so I have a full backup as well.

    I have a few of these that I used to temporarily back up files while on the road and then move to my home NAS. I’ve had no issues so far and like that extra security of having that temp backup.

    I am using it with my XBox One and it works great. I first bought Seagate 2TB Hard Drive, which worked fine initially but had to return it because it stopped working. This one is working great and has a better storage.

    WD brand is one of the most known ones in the marked, so just go for it. Works really well and lasts long. I have another 1TB HD that is holding really good for the last 6 years.

    I purchased this hard drive to transfer all of my photos (> 17,000) to. This has allowed me to free up space on my Lap Top PC main drive. The capacity of this drive is huge and it doesn't take up much space on my desk.

    I'm very pleased with the read/write speed on this drive, plus I didn't have to install the Discovery software included to make it work. A very good deal for the price. I'm glad I bought two, my wife likes hers too.

    Good little drive for all your storage needs. Write speeds seem to stay around 100MB/s and the drive stays pretty cool at 40C. With the Chia farming craze this is also one of the best $/TB you can currently get.

    It’s a WD, what more to say! I use it solely to rip my DVDs to the drive as I’m getting yelled at that 6000+ movies is too many to keep in the house. Works great for that and data in general as I have a few of these.
