    Been a great addition to my PS4. Very simple to set up and use. Only drawback is that is has to be directly plugged into the PS4 USB ports and not through and adapter or charging dock.

    Purchased to move files from my mac. For Mac users, it is important to read the instructions or look them up. However, very glad with my purchase. It was a great price for the amount of space.

    This is a great external HDD. This one reads pretty fast. I needed to save lots of pictures and videos into this hard drive and it was able to transfer them in about 40 minutes. I previously used my brother's external HDD before and that took around 4 hours for the same files. His is a different brand and had worse reading and writing speeds compared to this one. Since it's an HDD, I don't recommend it being used by students who have to take it with them everywhere due to it having a spinning disk. Getting bumped and/or dropped will make it slower and can break it. But if you only need it to store other files and it's sitting on a desk or in a box for storage, then this is perfect for that!

    I purchased this because I am having trouble with Dropbox and wanted to store my files locally. It worked seamlessly out of the box. Fast enough for a backup/external drive. The reviews indicate some issues with WD and its customer service but I have had good luck generally with their drives.

    This is a great deal for 5TB of storage. We have had good experience with Western Digital products. This is very new, but it is operating as expected.

    It is great for what i purchased it for. Holds a great amount of games for my xbox, and it is quiet while it is running.i never notice the light turn off, so I am not entirely sure if it ever shuts down. I don't know how I feel about that. But still an overall great external hard drive. And great for the price.
