    I've purchased four of these and two of them were defective (while they did turn on, no computer would recognize them). For the two that did work, they've worked great -- fast transfers, and they seem fairly reliable so far. So, provided you get one that works, you'll probably be happy with it. I was lucky that I was able to return the two defective ones for a full refund to Best Buy before the return period was over...Western Digital customer service had told me that they'd only replace them with refurbished models with reduced warranties if Best Buy wouldn't take them back.

    I use this as a large expansion drive for my Xbox Series X, and it's surprisingly fast for an external platter HDD. Definitely worth the price. I'm planning to buy more.

    Great Backup, simple settings and easy to use. Just select the drive you want to get backup and let the software do it's job. You won't even notice while you are multi tasking on your pc that the backup is working on the background.

    Picked up this little guy to use on a Raspberry Pi-based NAS. Seems to work just fine. I'm sure the 3b is holding back any performance that this actually has.

    It's great item and very beautiful design. There are more storage space than I need now. Eventually, I may need another one. At least, I know what to look for in the future.

    Picked this up the other day for a great price. This will be used as the third system to complete my back up of data. It has a small footprint and is easy to use, just plug and play. You can use the apps that come with it to set up a backup system or just drag and drop Nice unit, recommend
