    The drive is average. The speed is only 35MB/s, even though it says it's USB 3.0

    The hard drive works, but it is slow to rev up. Everytime I need to write or read something to this drive, I have to sit there for a while and wait for this thing to rev up; this happens often. I breaks my work flow, and it is very disappointing.

    Good Product but it lacks proper UI. It is so hard even for people with good IT Skills to connect and manage this drive. I wonder why cant these people make the interface very simple. Mobile app is horrible.

    Not sure if it's this device or my wireless router but the connection seems to drop all the time. Rebooting the router reestablishes the connection but then it will just drops. Happens fairly often.

    It Works! Got Ok speeds for storage. Waiting for TB per dollar to drop. If u need storage WD is better then Seaget. They def die fast and so do your files.

    I returned this product for a full refund. Although it advertises as Mac compatible, you would never know it by the unintelligible gymnastics required to set-up. First of all, it was totally dead when I plugged it in for the first time....NOTHING! How can you follow instructions when the unit would not even power up. READ ALL THE REVIEWS!! DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!

    Drive constantly fails...Error code 100006

    I bought three of these for music and movies on my iMac. All three after seven months have failed whenever I try to copy to them, any file, any size. Error code 100006. Contacted WD and they stated that I'm not supposed to copy large files on a Mac unless its exFat formatted. Huh! Bought Seagates and didnt have issues. Now I sit trying to transfer all my stuff off of three 8 tb drives 100GBs at a time watching each transfer fail and wondering what files have been corrupted. Sticking with Seagates from now on.
