    There hasn't been a single problem with it. I didn't use any preinstalled programs before reformatting it, but for anyone looking for something for their PS4, this works great. Though, since it uses its own cable, you won't be able to just simply get a longer one, so keep it close to the system.

    I bought this for a plex server (ATX NAS). It had a western digital EDAZ drive. It works well and is in RAID 0 with another EDAZ drive in my Plex server. Cheap storage, easy to shuck. Buy this if you need more storage.

    I recently moved from a full size gaming PC to a laptop, and I had a terabyte of photo's and music that I had to transfer from one to the other. I decided this was the best way to go, so if I ever go to another desktop again - no transferring!

    The HDD contained (at least in my unit) was a WD Red which I have been using for years in other applications without issue. This backup has been on constant cycle for about six months now without any hiccups or issues. It runs as cool as I would have expected. I have no reservations about the drive or its reliability based on past performance of WD products.

    My wife is a photographer of wildlife mostly and she takes a lot of pictures. she has run out of space on two tera byte drives, so I purchased this to make up more space. She absolutely loves it this extra space for her editing of the pictures.

    Got it at a great sale price, less than a 4TB unit. I don't have USB 3 on this computer, but it works fine at USB 2. Initial transfer of huge batch of files did take a long time (overnight), after that the auto backup and regular access to files is indistinguishable from my hard drive (which works better now that I moved so many files off it).
