low price per terabyte, great for my media center
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the lowest price per terabyte storage solution I found. Ideal for write once read many (WORM). It's fast enough to do most of my archiving and streaming. There is a slight vibration whenever it is on, but as long as you put it in a stable spot it should be quiet because of the rubber feet.

Reliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.WD products are simply that. I’m a backup phobe and even with cloud, I want redundancy. Drive is decent size, but hoping WD can take next steps soon for more capacity

You can't beat the price but backup your backup
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These use untried disks with a notoriously high fail rate which is why they're so cheap but BestBuy will replace them within the return or Geek Squad period or then Western Digital will replace them within the 3 year warranty period. However, don't register these with Western Digital unless & until you need to replace them because the WD registration is nontransferrable. Dont yank the USB cable or power adapter from the hard drive. Unplug the power adapter from whatever external power souurce first. Also, don't drop or hit them nor store next to heat source or in the sunlight

For XBox external -G2G
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. It’s my second easystore drive and this one has proved as “easy” as the last. We’ll see about longevity but my old one is going strong still two years later. XBox One immediately recognized and setup drive including formatting. Very please with purchase thus far.
