    Works great for backing up all of my computers and electronics. Faster than my old 3tb Seagate. Got it on sale for fair price at 139.99. Will eventually move to backup ps4 or ps5. Also is a Best Buy exclusive.

    Always a little early to review, since I purchased less than a month ago. This drive is hanging off my router to be accessible by two Win10 pc's, plus a Linux server. Since it is not a cloud device, getting it shared was not easy, which is why I rated it 4 stars. If you are not tech savvy, go for a different version. I also purchased this because of the other reviews that says this contains the highly rated WD Red drive in it.

    These drives are good for backup. However, the one that I got clearly has one of the noisy and hot NAS type drives that uses more power. I have taken the drives out of a few of these in the past for use in my DIY server but this one with the hotter drive stays as external.

    Purchased this on sale as my first external harddrive. I expected lightening fast computer recognition when connected but it took several minutes. But I kept replugging it because it did not show up as an available drive quickly enough. Once it showed up, I used it to back up my hard drives. The best part is that I took it over to my 4k tv and plugged it in the usb3 port and there was my entire harddrive. I could select movies to watch and it would load and play them flawlessly. Took it to a friends house and connected to his computer and it showed up very fast. LOVE the size. You can never have too much storage.

    The drive is quiet and performs well. Lots of storage at a low price. My only drawback is that I wasn't able to connect it to my router and use it as an online drive, but that may be because I didn't spend enough time trying to get it setup correctly for that type of use.

    BB has lowered this drive's price on 20 days of doorbuster cheaper than BF and this was the lowest price so far $139.99. Love it. You can use immediately out of the box if you are Windows users, The drive includes the apps for you to check bad sector, S.M.A.R.T, etc... (you can download on WD website anyway). Rumor and confirm that inside is RED with 256mb cache, great price if you plan to buy multiple drive for your NAS.
