    Great back up drive with lots of storage for backing up main drive and having plenty of room for other files. Easy setup for Mac. Just had to re-format for Mac and then was able to set up Time Machine for backing up main drive. Great drive at a great price!

    I have a ridiculous amount of music so I need serious storage. And until SSD prices come down, I'm sticking with external, spinning, hard drives. I've been burned by Seagate before so I tend to lean WD. And with 8 TB storage, this is just the thing for my library.

    This is my 2nd WD external drive. I didn't use any of the built-in software so I can't elaborate on that. This drive works well for backing up my data. This drive is NOT for you if you want to move it around a lot. There are more durable high-capacity drives available if you want a portable option.

    Great HDD at a Great Price

    When I saw the price of this in the store and read the reviews others had left I knew this purchase was a no brainer! I bought it to use on my new iMac. I plan on doing a lot of video editing on the iMac and since that will now include 4k video I knew I needed to go big with an external HDD. This is indeed a Red drive hidden in the housing. I did have some issues getting both my old windows machine and my new iMac both recognizing the drive at the same time. A call to WD took care of that. The tech helped me get the drive visible on both machines so I could get all of my info off of the windows machine and then setup the drive to work on the new iMac. I will say that if you haven't accessed it for a bit that it's slow to start up again. It also makes a strange ticking noise. Took me awhile to figure out that the noise was coming from the drive. Don't lean it against a wall or you'll waste too much time trying to find the source of the drip behind the walls! It will take me quite awhile to fill this drive up since I already transferred all of my info from past computers to this one and I've barely touched the space.
