I would recommend this to a friend Okay use on Mac
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn't work well with Mac computer even after downloading additional drivers.

Great for Nvidia Shield External Drive
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If anyone is wondering, this drive works great with a Nvidia Shield Pro as a external hard drive. I have lots of media on mine and it goes into sleep mode when not in use. Even stays asleep most of the time when I am using the shield with a slow blinking light. Usually only wakes when I pull up the movies on it.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 2nd external desktop hard drive from Western Digital and its great so far. My first one has been used for 3 years so far and it's still in good condition from what I can tell. I trust that this new drive would hold up just as well.

More storage - big and fast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only been using for a few months - the hope with hard drives is they run for years before failure. At this point I'm very pleased with it. The USB 3.0 is roughly 5 times faster than the earlier USB 2.0 drives. Copying and backing up is very fast.
