    I got this to use with my Xbox and love it. Super easy to set up and I like that you plug it into the wall and doesn’t just run off of the Xbox’s power. Would totally recommend

    I used to drive for 4 weeks as an external drive. It has great read-write speeds and is relatively quiet. I ended up opening the drive and using the hard drive in my NAS as it is an 8tb Western Digital red Drive!

    Purchased this a couple of weeks ago. Works great and I used it to gather all the files I have on smaller externals onto one drive. I can also backup my current setup with plenty of space left over.

    I bought this machine for my own use and pleasure. The store said I could accumulate 'reward points', without mentioning that I had to then praise them for selling me something. So it works, as expected, end of story.

    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.

    I love WD hard drives and have been using them for nearly 15 years. In that time I had 1 drive fail and WD replaced it at no charge to me. I own 3 of these external HDD and couldn't be happier.

    Picked up several of these hard drives when they were on sale for $149.99. Shucked them to use the bare drives in a Synology NAS. The drives have been humming along in the NAS just fine. Can't beat the price.

    I recommend this product but is best to use at home and not travel with it. If you do, just protect it and try and keep it as stable as possible while in transport. Tons of memory, frees up my computer.

    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

    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.

    This is working perfectly for me. I needed to condense data from 4 different aging drives to keep my sanity and this fit the bill. Lots of space and reasonably quick for a HDD.

    This drive is based on the red led nas drive so it is supposed to be more reliable for an always on system. And the speed has been good so far for my use. It's cheaper than buying the bare drive so buy now think later.
