    The drive is quiet and fast. After just a few month of use, my drive is already at 75% full. Given that the cloud options are trending pricy every day, I may need another or larger drive soon on this BF day.

    Easy to install, provides more than enough storage for my present needs, but I remember thinking when I bought my first 100 meg drive how I would never fill it.

    It's a very large hard drive with USB 3.0 speeds. I use it to back up large files for temporary storage. (Temporary storage because I don't trust these types of storage that much. I'd rather be using an SSD but they are too expensive)

    If you do not need or have a NAS at the moment, I would still recommend buying this and use the Red drive inside. Buy 3 or more and get the best of Red drives.

    You really couldn't beat the value of the WD Easystore when it was purchased. It is fast enough for most applications if you can run it on USB 3.0 but you would see some lag for video or image processing or other power hungry apps.
