    Very happy they were non white label reds, and were the “made in Thailand” drives too so they had a larger cache than white label drives

    This is my 'go to' backup storage drive. Western Digital still doesn't fail to deliver. This drive is fantastic!

    Use this for all my movies. It has never failed and is fast enough. Does have a little lag if you haven't used it in awhile and sometimes the noise is louder than my other WD drives. Very minimal problems for the size of this and price.

    It is a great external hard-to-bear monopoly, so I can only buy this product and I can't explain it any more. Do not forget to buy

    I find this hard drive is far too noisy when its backing up. Perhaps I purchased one that's faulty. I plan on exchanging it with a new one at BestBuy & giving this model another try.
