    Does it’s job, high performance. I’ve bought a few hard drives where eventually the power connection gives out but it’s still going strong after 1 year.

    I’m not the most up to date and tech savvy, but I use this to store my movies and video game roms with zero issues. Cheaper quality ones would always crash and leave my data corrupted, well I purposely cut this off mid use a few times and the thing is bulletproof (not physically and shouldn’t of had to say that.)

    I have multiple WD external HDDs and am very satisfied with the products. As a rule, I only but WD drives for internal and external use. This drive is high quality, well built and stays in line with WDs proven track record of quality and reliability.

    I'm one of those people who does a ton of research about a product before I buy it. I do a lot of video editing with 4K footage and photography so needed a fast and reliable unit at a good price point. This product offers all of that. Can't beat it.

    I already own a 4TB WD external drive and just needed additional capacity. Set up was easy and. Setting backups was simple. I am using the drive as an archive (actual backup) which will be used in emergencies. If you want this to store and stream videos etch, then this is not for you. I would suggest an actual SAN solution. If you just want a backup system then I would recommend this.

    These are good quality drives and in fact many people have gotten WD RED drives in them, those are NAS Ware drives that usually cost 250+. If you're lucky you might get one with a RED drive in it. This is a great deal if gotten on a sale.

    I use this as a large expansion drive for my Xbox Series X, and it's surprisingly fast for an external platter HDD. Definitely worth the price. I'm planning to buy more.
