      Bought this drive on sale, to use as a Time Machine Backup. I did have to make some modifications to it to better suit my new Mac Book Pro. Formatted Extended (journaled), Apple USB to USB-C adaptor and this drive has worked great so far.

      Bought this to install in my PS4 since the internal hard drive was filled to the max. Plugged it in. Formatted the drive with the PS4. Then set as primary. Moved all my games over. I don’t see a change in performance or load times. Actually seems faster than the internal stock had by a little. Been using for a month now with no issues.

      I've been thru so many external hard drives. I typically trust WD and this one is no different. I snagged it on sale for under $100 and it was a great price for the amount of storage. It stays connected to my PC 24/7 for storage and backups. It's fast and works great.

      (Using on an Xbox One S) Cute little thing with a lot of storage space. Came with everything needed to set up. Console read it and formatted it quickly. Fast enough that I don't see a difference between it and the internal hard drive. I have had it only a few days but I have not encountered any issues so far.

      I use this external drive to backup all my photos and videos. Its portable and has a good transfer speed if archival is your primary objective. In fact, you may even use this to edit (on the fly) in a pinch without sacrificing too much. A must have. I have 8-10 of these and similar types lying around.

      This one is smaller/ligjter than the 5T I owned previously so that's very nice! It is also easy enough for anyone to get started. Not to mention it's unreasonably priced too. I actually got it on sale and it is totally worth the money.

      Simple backup solution for a laptop. Plug it in and it works very well! A portable must buy and good bang for the buck.
