Internally a wd red/white drive so dependable for external storage. Easy to schuck if you just want the drive for use in a multi drive Nas enclosure.

My only gripe with the drive is that it can get VERY noisy while in use laying horizontally. I helped remedy this with a few squares of adhesive craft foam between the drive and the surface. Other than that, it's business as usual as far as external drives go.

Bought this after reading positive reviews. This model is exclusive to Best Buy. Most of these reportedly use WD's higher quality line of drives, which is a plus. I am using it with a Mac. One thing I've noticed is that it's a little slower to wake from sleep than my previous WD My Book.

Would love to have the cloud capability. .8tb is too huge for my usage

This is a good value for the price, and I use it for a variety of tasks beyond mere backup. This fits the bill for those needs, including video storage. You'll likely like it. too.

Excellent HD for use in backing up your computer or laptop. Also great for video and photo backups. It is susceptible to power surges which causes it to disconnect, so not good for active dvr recording or temp drive usage (which isn't the norm anyway, but just saying).

Two stars because I have the peace of mind in keeping my files backed up (in addition to DropBox), but no matter how many times I try to install it, when I go to set up for automatic backups, device can never be found. It's frustrating.

I thought it will be hard to set up this device but the step by step instruction was easy to follows. Now I don't have to worry losing all my files if my computer crashes.

Just like the old WD mybook that they use to make before they made the new design. I needed the look of the old one. It does have the old characteristics of the old mybook, still a bit noisy.

I brought this item because I need extra storage for important files.

I have 4 of these, and 6 of the 4tb easystore drives from WD. No failures to date, even the ones I received in the mail instead of store pickup.

Took a little while to pair with our iMac. But now that it is set up , it works great.

Easy to set up and the transfers move fast. I transfered some movies and 3D animations I have been working on and has been working like a champ.

Bought this to back up data for several devices. Easy to use and works well. Transfer rate is good but it’s a bit bulky in size. Overall and very happy with the item.

I have this drive attached to my router and used it as a network drive so everyone can upload and download all the pics from events. It's a quick and reliable drive.

The drive looks very bulky. We thought it will be compact in size

A large amount of space for backup. Don't expect this to be as fast as an SSD but it haves plenty of space to archive stuff. It's easy to tip over and cause a hard drive failure so be careful where you put it.

it worked great as soon as I pugged it in and started backing all my pc's . I was a great price and well worth money. recommend to anyone.

I have had no issues with it, except it never seems to work as easily I think it should - in other words, the software should be easier to run. I mean, really the hard drive has one simple job to do, and you do call it an easystore.

Purchased this in order to consolidate my entire digital video library onto one device. Works as intended upon setup. Easy peasey. As always WD makes another great product!
