    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.

    Giant hard drive with WD quality

    The surprise hidden inside each of these high capacity external drives is apparently a Western Digital Red NAS-rated hard drive. These are designed for long life and high reliability. While not ultra-high speed, they are more than enough for USB 3.0. An excellent value.

    Another name brand product stopped working. It cost almost twice as much as the original product to recover the data. My original Western Digital, external hard drive is still working after buying it years ago! I am happy with WD reliability and recommend their products.

    I'm a big fan of WD external drives so I knew what I was getting. Right out of the box it was ready to go. No formatting necessary as I was using it as a capture device for my XBOX One S and X. I even bought 2 because the Black Friday price was to good to pass up.

    I needed a drive that would store a large amount of data, long term, and this drive fills the bill. Operation is very quiet and speed is satisfactory over USB. As always, make sure you have alternate copies of critical data files as no method of storage is forever.

    With the HUGE data storage tasks I have to deal with (4k video; high bit-rate WAV audio production, engineering data management tasks, etc.) I need BIG storage tanks to keep projects in one place and not 'spread out' over several computers. This is the way to go.
