    We use these drives to store and backup wedding video files. You can do simple editing with them if needed but would not do major editing. Awesome to just store projects and have plenty of space to do so.

    I actually took this to work to use as a secondary backup location for my primary laptop and connected to another PC so it is backing up over the network as a shared drive. Works great and I have TONS of space.

    Bought in November of 2017 to hook up to my Netgear 7800 X4s router to function as a NAS. No hiccups, buffering, stuttering or anything. I copied in 1TB of data from another HD and no issues.

    It's like the TARDIS; Bigger on the inside. Put all the things on this drive, it'll store them. That's how these things work. This one works well.

    I've used Samsung hard drives in the past and they ALWAYS fail before their MTBF. I did my homework and have switched to Western Digital for the last and this most recent hard drive purchase.

    Easy to set up. My previous WD Hard Drive lasted nearly 20 years. I hope that I can get this many years out of the new one here. I highly recommend this product.

    it’s got a lot of space to put lots of files. I mostly store music, videos and pics. I’ve used about 10% so far. I have 90% left, which should take me about 60 years to fill up.

    My original drive had an issue so I had to have WD replace it, but the one they sent to replace it works great. I would be careful reformatting, as some file systems may work better than others, but it should support most. This was by far the best price I found on a high-capacity drive.

    I have 4 of these connected to my wireless router and they are great for storage and media streaming. They go to sleep, so they do take a few seconds before they can be accessed. Other than that, I have no complaints

    I'm finding that some of these have double the cache memory inside, which is great! MASSIVE capacity, awesome price. I recommend everyone should have something like this to back up all of their computers and devices.

    The internals were WD RED which is really great for the price. They do change what they use but once I confirmed it with the first two that I bought, I purchased a lot more and they were all RED.

    Reliable (so far), fast (all large capacity hard drives have decent sequential transfer speeds), quiet (can't hear it all from a couple feet away), shuckable (take out the drive and use it internally.
