    I'm always been a fan of WD external drives and this one does not disappoint . If you just need storage this is a great buy. If you want cloud accessibility the My Book is what you need.

    I am currently using this HDD with my AC68U and it has been working beautifully. These come with the WD Red HDD inside which have been built for NAS. For better compatibility I simply formatted these drives to Ext4 and the Router recognized these drives instantly. I takes a little longer to spin up once it goes to sleep, compared to my WD 20EARS, but it could be because it is connected the slower USB 2.0 Port. Overall very happy with my purchase.
