Large amount of storage in easy to setup package
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the 8tb WD Easystore External Hard drive. I hooked it up to my Macbook and reformatted it, and backed up my other much smaller drive to this hard drive. It has a nice case and includes a usb 3.0 cable. Performs as expected.

Not as easy as it should be
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a Mac laptop and plugged this in and it was telling me I had to all sorts of things I didn't understand to make it work. I tried doing them and my computer told me it was a bad idea. I ended up having a friend come over and he had to (I think?) reformat this Drive to make it compatible. After that, it worked great. But I wanted plug-and-play and it was not.

Good backup storage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this because I could hear my old western digital 4TB start to click after many years of use but it has not outright died yet. So far so good, Speeds are what you expect for an external 54000rpm spinner.
