    I bought this external hard drive to back up my Mac videos, pictures and documents. I have used WD drives in the past and all of them are still working so I know they make quality products. I bought this when Best Buy's low sale price was just too hard to resist. Thanks Best Buy!

    I've had great success with WD drives over the years and this one appears to be no exception. I've only had it for a few weeks, but it seems to be reading/writing fine. When moving files between it and another USB 3.0 device, the speed is very fast. Transfers with a USB 2.0 device are much slower.

    This external hard drive is pretty cool as it includes a RED drive. Its Western Digitals NAS drive with would last for a very long time. I wish they had the 5-Year Warranty but I guess as long as it works, you won't need it. Also, WD needs to start switching to USBC.

    This has a lot of space. Slow to spin up so I only use to backup files and then I turn it off. Initially purchased for large video editing files but accessing some of those files for editing is painfully slow and often requires rebooting of the computer. I am using this drive only for archiving. Even then, I wonder how long this drive will stay alive.

    Contains a top of the line NAS hard drive which I have connected to a Media PC to store all our mkv/mp4's. Working great for several months. Able to saturate a gigabit LAN no problem. Is quiet but does have a periodic "tick" as others have said. Probably not good for a bedroom PC if you leave it on while trying to sleep.
