    For plug and play is still confusing. Doesn't need to be.

    It does the job well - the transfer speeds are surprisingly faster than we anticipated. We are using it with our Xbox 1S. It does have some noise, though - if you are looking for an ultra quiet hard drive, this may not be the droid you're looking for.

    I am a bit crazy and I use this as a back up for my backup. Overall great quality and it works well. Just wished it would also come with a USB-C cable.

    I ran out of space on my old backup, so I bought this for the purpose of using it for Time Machine backups as well as backing up my large iTunes files. It has worked flawlessly since I bought it; really does well for the job. It's also very compatible with virtually any system, though you may need to reformat it for a Mac.

    Only choice for NAS drives at a reasonable price

    I shuck these to use in my NAS. They have white labels but perform like Reds. I've heard there are Thai and Vietnamese drives, the former with 256MB cache and the latter with 128MB, but out of the four I ordered all of mine were made in Thailand. They absolutely scream in a NAS, and at this price, and with the reliability of WD Reds, I can afford to void the warranty.

    I purchased this to replace an older Seagate drive that crashed. It works great. It does get a little warm when using and does seem to make a little noise but not as loud as some stated. Fast back up for a large amount of storage, and seems to be working fine for me. Have used for 1 month so far.
