    I have always bought this hard drive and haven't had any complaints yet... In the past, I started with 1 TB. After getting few of the 1 TB ones, I bought 3 TB... but needed more... so when I saw this one go down in price (same as the price i paid for my 3TB couple of years ago :) ), I had to get this..

    I have liked the backup software that is included with the Western Digital unit. (much better than the software included in the Seagate unit)

    Works great so far with either the USB hookup or even better after shucking the drive out of the enclosure. Will fit perfectly into a NAS or PC with a little elbow grease. Search for the DataHoarder sub on Reddit to find guides on how to make the best of your new drive!

    So far, after transferring the bulk of my SSD to this external drive, I have complaints with the hardware. With such ample amount of space, I'm able to store all of my photos, videos, and games that don't require insanely fast load times onto this drive. I can't say I'm unhappy whatsoever with the purchase.

    It’s simple. It’s a hard drive and gets the jobs done. However, if you own a mac, have a usb adapter to accommodate your product.

    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!!!

    Bought this to use as extended storage for my PS4, and I love it. It has not failed and gives me the additional punch that I couldn’t get by replacing the hard drive in the PS. It appears to play well with the PS4, anytime the power is lost, the PS4 discovers the extended storage and “fixes” it with no issues whatsoever.
