    WD USB connectors have made me nervous with portable models, but this desktop design seems to do better. Fast access on a new iMac made file transfers much better with lots of room.

    Was running out of backup space in prior storage. This fills the bill nicely, and sets up automatically if you like. Good price too at Best Buy.

    Plenty of storage for keeping track of my RAW photos. I am going to have to move it further away from my workstation as it does have a very quiet and subtle ticking when it's idle. Tends to grab my attention when the rest of the room is quiet.

    Bought this to take the drive out and put it in my Plex server, and it did not let me down. White label drive inside that is working perfectly.

    I needed a hard drive to back up computer - as my computer had pictures that slowed it down plus this was a way not to lose any of my pictures

    Picked this up during the 20 days of Christmas sale, best thing ever if you use it to store all your downloaded games on XBox1. Main reason for purchase was due to the lack of space for newly purchased games. Fast, economical, and efficient.
