    The product works but lacks ease of use and is blocked by a personal program of easystore which they try to say its easier but they could just let you use it in files like every other product

    Excellent drive and the fact that it doesn't need external power source makes it extremely convenient! 6Tb capacity without the need for external power? Niccceee! Can't go wrong with WD!

    Bought this hard drive to backup work I had on a laptop. The laptop was slowing I wanted to act prudently. The hard drive failed in less than a month. My experience does not provide the kind of confidence to recommend this product to anyone else. Build quality felt average or at least as expected.

    Excellent, worked right out of the box, 6TB is the maximum "no power cord" drive which makes this a good choice.
