The western digital external hard drive is a great way to auto backup your Mac sand Pc computers. The backup software worked seamless with both operating systems.

I have purchased these hard drives before, and I haven't had any issues with them yet. It does what it says, large capacity, fast transfer speeds, portable, and if you need to you can use as an internal hard drive (Reference YouTube for instructions, at your own risk) so far, Best Buy has had the best deals on these drives. I will buy these drives again and I would reference these to my friends and work.

So far so good; super fast file transfer which is VERY helpful as a photographer.

I am using this on a Mac. Lots of storage for a great price. Easy to format and set up.

This devise worked fully as expected. Super easy, plug and play setup. Reasonable read/write speed. Good value.

nice one fast speed, I use it for my home storage.

While not the fastest 3.1 or 3.2 USB, it can transfer around 93MB-S so for an external drive not too bad...

Works for what I bought it for. Does have a slightly loud fan.

Excellent external storage. Not the speediest of access for read/write, but it serves the purpose

Excellent Hard Drives. Speed is good, I wish it had better ventilation. Tends to overheat with heavy use.

I bought 2 for my gaming systems. This is a Powered Hard drive and great for meeting the needs of anyone looking to backup Games from an Xbox 1S. Note: Updates may take longer after games are moved because you are backing up at the speed of the USB transfer rate and not just speed from Internet to console. Light on front is constant when on and blinks when in stasis/ idle mode.

This 8tb External Hard Drive is a perfect addition for the Xbox One. It's USB 3.0 connection transfers data quickly. Great Price. I would recommend this product.

8TB USB 3.0 Bought a few of these. 1 year later not one failure so far.

This external storage device is small, quiet and stays cool. Very fast as a backup device via USB 3.0 and the included or any user backup software. Reliable!

Excellent capacity for the cost!!! You can't beat the cost for the drive inside.

Runs way to hot. I leave my computer on overnight and the hard drive is over 55 degrees when I use it in the morning. Under load it goes over 60 degrees.

Use on of these as a backup drive. Works great not too loud or hot.

Fantastic size, compatibility, use, quality and price!

This is a solid product for long time storage. The hard drive alone is three hundred dollars. Word of caution though. Make sure you use the power cord and USB cord that comes with the product. I tried using older power cords from past hard drives. They will fit but do not carry enough current to properly function without errors. So far so good. I highly recommend. Especially when they are on sale

1st, kudos to Best Buy for safe and hassle free curbside pickup. As for the WD drive.. The (sale) price per TB was attractive and the performance has been very good. I plugged it in to the USB port on my router and leave it on all of the time. It is a great backup destination for all of the computers in the house. Poor Man's NAS!
