Bought to store pictures
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not much to review here .. just storage to transfer picture files from my phone. Other files too, but since we dont print our photos unless we buy new frames.... this is what we use to save them. It's pretty much my new photo album.

WD isn't what they used to be
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it in January to replace a WD drive that was about 4 years old - my drives usually make it about 5 years or so. Got a MyBook and it died in 3 days. I shrugged with a "manufacturing defects happen" thought. I went to the store to return and repurchase and I noticed that this one was discounted... and was still WD - "the best brand out there" - so I jumped on it! Worked GREAT, so I budgeted to afford another full-price one at the 6-month mark, to have a mirror of this drive. At the 4 month mark it just... died. I was in the middle of reading a muti-TB file and... poof. It went very quiet, made a few clicks, then quiet... and that was the end of 6TB of my data going back to the late 90s. Thankfully I (mostly) have my previous drive's data, and some stuff in the cloud. The one thing I don't have anymore: confidence in Western Digital products. They bit me twice in a row so they're done accessing my wallet.

Using this for my ps4
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Planning on switching to a PS4 pro in a few months. I got this to make sure the process was some enough and all my games would be accessible asap once I transferred my data from one to the other. So far it's been working fine on my normal ps4. I've noticed a difference in load times, them being a little slower but nothing too bad. Pretty much just plug and play. There are tutorials on YouTube on how to set it up for the PlayStation.
