    Got this because I don't see myself being able to stop taking pictures through out my life. When I'm dead maybe my tombstone will be a video monitor and this thing just gets plugged in and plays like my pictures.

    Massive storage for people who need the extra space. The only issue is that it has to be plugged into a power source which isn't a huge issue but can still be irritating if you don't have enough outlets.

    I prefer Western Digital to other brands due to past problems with others. This one is at a good price point for the amount of storage. I would recommend getting two - one for backup and one for archive purposes.

    I bought this for a backup hdisk for my stuff. Should provide a good storage option for NAS or remain a reliable external backup. The price was excellent. Hoping to see good results for how it fairs with time.

    I needed more storage space and have always had great luck with Western Digital. The 3.0 transfer speed made loading information from my old drives to this one easy. So far everything has worked well with it.

    This drive is great, I have several, like 10. 8 are in raid arrays and 2 are independent. Work awesome, quite and cool. Speed and medium as their are 5400 rpm, but they feature 4K clusters, better than Segate

    I’m not the most up to date and tech savvy, but I use this to store my movies and video game roms with zero issues. Cheaper quality ones would always crash and leave my data corrupted, well I purposely cut this off mid use a few times and the thing is bulletproof (not physically and shouldn’t of had to say that.)

    Works well, and with other HDDs, if you decide to shuck the drive and plug in directly.
