    This unit is so simple to use. Plug in attach to your PC and use. The speed of use is only limitted by your computer, not the drive. I have used it to back up our computers data including photos and store it off site.

    I mainly use it to store my games. Isn’t as fast as a ssd but it helps with keeping all my games together without having to delete and install games every time I wanna play something different.

    I actually purchased these to install in a Synolgy NAS. Once the drive arrived it was opened up and used in the NAS. Even though they were the WD White Drives they worked perfectly in the device and I saved about $120 by doing this.

    I bought this to expand the space for my Xbox One X, works as advertised, the only negative compared to my previous is the need for a wall power adapter.

    I've been using this for about a month and have had experience with another external drive by this brand and have had continued excellent performance. I have no reason to believe this unit will perform any less effectively.

    I had this for ps4 (four) and it was an amazing investment. Do not buy for the PS5 (five), that runs on a much more sophisticated SSD where as this is compatible with the ps4(four) HD

    The purchase of this drive, with it's ease in shuckability, is still going strong nearly 2 years later. Be warned, this drive is a gateway to going full NAS in your home. Looking to go to 64TB by end of 2020 at this rate.

    There is the cloud there are thumb drives but to me the only way to back up your computer is to use the WD external hard drive. have it at home or on the road the internet is not always there for you to use but the WD is.

    I bought this external storage drive on sale and combined it with a new Lima Ultra to create my own personal home cloud. Fast set-up as soon as I plugged it into the network. I'm very happy with the response time on both my MacMini and Surface Pro.
