    voided the warranty immediately and broke the drive out of the case to use in my desktop. The drive works great to replace a failing backup drive in my desktop computer. It was $70 cheaper to buy it in the external case rather than buy it loose.

    For use with windows and iOS. To copy files off other HDs. Formatted the 1st drive, but the drive would not be recognized by either the iMac or pc (iOS and windows disk utility would recognize but I was unable to get the drive active). Returned, no questions asked. Second drive works well

    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.

    Tons of storage packed in a little package. I love the design and it sits perfectly on my desk. I use these external Hard Drives for game systems and Computer systems with ease. Some systems may take a bit of formatting. Not noisy like some other external HDDs

    The instructions are extremely easy to follow. In order to use it with all my Apple products, I highly suggest going into the utilities app on the computer, and formatting the drive to APPS prior to use.

    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).

    Price tends to move around on this drive, but when I purchased it it was by far the cheapest way of getting so much storage for your money. High quality WD Red drive in an enclosure that can be easily dismantled if you want to place in your home NAS or similar. Have already put it through it's paces and have been very happy with the results.

    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!

    It's very fast, and works well in general.. however it seems to disconnect itself or "fall asleep" semi-frequently and will no open folders, without me unplugging it and plugging it back in. Feels like it's trying to crash on me two months in.

    Drive was purchased when on sale for $179.99. Very good price point. Intended use is for Xbox one X game installs and transfer. Performance and speed has been very good when transferring data from the internal drive on my Xbox One Elite to this unit. Also, no discernable noise can be heard from the drive from our normal sitting position.
