    I wish the transfer speeds over USB was faster and used a normal USB C port instead of the funky micro b thing

    WDs are always reliable and have different storage devices with them serving specific purposes! This one in particular serves my need as a universal backup for my desktop and my macbook. I've learned a lesson once losing all my data. So now, I backup my backup from the backup of the backup I had from my original backup of my data!! All on WD!!! Kudos!!!

    It is more like 4.5 stars, due to the software, but I'm rounding up due to quality, value, and many years of great Western Digital drives. I love the drive, enclosure, and build quality. I have three internal Western Digital Drives (1TB and 2 4TB) and two older external Western Digital Drives (1.5TB and 2 TB) and have never had an issue with any of them

    I bought this to update my ever growing library of data. With video games broaching on 90gb I knew I was in need of a hefty hdd and this one definitely fit the bill. It’s plug and play was a big decider in my purchase plus the price was right. I backed up my 2 terabyte hdd in a couple of hours so the transfer rate on this product is up there in my opinion. If you need something that’s fast, sleek, and affordable this is the external hard drive for you.

    For the sale price, this was too good of a value to pass up. Simple design, and the product works mostly as expected. The setup/formatting on my iMac was problematic as disk utility repeatedly threw errors. But I was eventually able to format the drive by restoring it from the clone of another drive. Can be noisy, and has to be ejected and reconnected from time to time because programs are unable to find locations on the drive.
