    I backup everything, and I mean everything to this drive. It is fast and very responsive. It easy to setup. So review state it runs hot. Mine does not.

    This is just the device I need for long-term storage of games and other large applications that I'm not actively using. It's also somewhat durable. This device fell from a counter twice by accident and it's still operable.

    Got this drive for about 50% off on sale. Amazing deal for a drive of this size. Should give me more than enough space for my Apple Time Machine backups.

    This drive was the size I needed and came well recommended by others who have similar video storage needs. It has proven reliable and fast enough for me.

    Nice drive, fairly fast for a mechanical drive. Was at a really good sale price. I do not use the software that came with it, but its there.

    I use this external for my PS4. Can hardly tell the difference between this external and the PS4 internal in terms of speed.

    These external hard drives are a good value for the size. Good for shucking and using as an internal hard drive.

    One small drop, and the drive was unreadable

    We usually buy Seagate, but they had a great deal on this drive. Yes, it is a very good drive. The thing is that although we take really great care of our drives, we have had a Seagate take one small drop before and was fine. This drive wound up getting knocked over by someone, and it was a smaller bump than the Seagate, and this thing wouldn't recover at all. Tried all kinds of programs to at least get the data off, and it was completely gone. I know that the bump was not WD's fault. That is why I still gave it three stars. However, I think it should have been more durable than that and also should have been able to at least recover some, if not all, the data on it.

    WD produces very good droves for video editing work. I have portable WD drives for editing video on the road. They work great.

    Great little external drive, but if you ar planning on shucking the drive mine came with a WD White Drive not the WD Red that older ones came with and it would not work plug-n-play as an internal drive...

    Bought this because I read that it has the WD Red drive in it, which is a NAS drive. Got home and was able to confirm that it is a red drive. Very happy.

    Bought to back up an iMac, needed help from WD to initially make storage compatible. iMac updated and now time machine doesn’t update to easystore. I’m sure it can be fixed, it’s just not that intuitive to make it work.

    WD Easystore has a solid build and is not too heavy. The read/write speeds are great. I would recommend this hard drive to everyone
