    This external storage device is small, quiet and stays cool. Very fast as a backup device via USB 3.0 and the included or any user backup software. Reliable!

    This is a solid product for long time storage. The hard drive alone is three hundred dollars. Word of caution though. Make sure you use the power cord and USB cord that comes with the product. I tried using older power cords from past hard drives. They will fit but do not carry enough current to properly function without errors. So far so good. I highly recommend. Especially when they are on sale

    This storage is a great value, great size and provides the extra space I need for storage. I was looking for the Seagate and when I got to the store they only had WD. The salesperson assured me this product is comparable to Seagate. I left it with my computer and two smaller drives and they copied the data. When I brought it home I was very satisfied. I always appreciate good service and value.

    While not the fastest 3.1 or 3.2 USB, it can transfer around 93MB-S so for an external drive not too bad...

    1st, kudos to Best Buy for safe and hassle free curbside pickup. As for the WD drive.. The (sale) price per TB was attractive and the performance has been very good. I plugged it in to the USB port on my router and leave it on all of the time. It is a great backup destination for all of the computers in the house. Poor Man's NAS!
