    This is the first WD I bought in a while after earlier WD's died on me. I am mostly a Seagate buyer. The price was too good to pass up on this one. It has not quit. Data transfers are fast. The software is troublesome, I would not suggest using it.

      Hello Mythic, We're sorry to hear that the drive did not meet your expectations. That's certainly not the experience we aim for. We understand how frustrating that can be. We would like the chance to make it right. Please reach out to our support team by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb) so we can look into it and explore a possible replacement (if needed) or a solution for you.

    It is good in terms of space. However it seems to be slow and at times loud. I would not purchase this again.

    Plug and play hard drive with Windows 7. Hard drive has some extra apple software that I need to be delete. I have stored about 150GB of data so far and no problems. The transfer rate is very fast, sorry I don't have any numbers for you. I am very pleased with my purchase.
