    I've bought about 20+ of these (yes, literally twenty or more drives) and they're incredible. Never had a single one fail. The drives are whisper quiet, small enough to throw into a corner, and makes it easy to head to your in-laws or parents and back up their data and haul it home for an offsite backup. I highly recommend these drives to ANYONE looking for some serious portable store. If you're like me you'll find yourself collecting these every time they go on sale.

    It's a great HD with plenty of storage! Only weird part is running macOS 10.15.7 Catalina after a while the HD will just "can't create backup folder". Tried the "turn off power save mode" too. I just have to re-plug it in to make it work. So, besides that, it's fantastic.

    I used to purchase Seagate drives only but am finding that they fail at a pretty high rate. Over the years I 've had 6 or 7 die and lost data. The WD drives don't seem ot have that problem and the price is very competitive.

    Huge capacity and fast speed are what this product offers and it delivers. I have no need for the software that it comes with, so I don’t know if it’s any good. The only question at this point is how long will it last.

    Drives are great stand alone Personal Clouds but if you are building a NAS, you can shuck the drives out and use them in your NAS. They are apparently, WD Red Drives with TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) from Thailand with 256MB Cache. At Half price on sale, You could save a bundle while building your Media Server or Personal Cloud,
