    Easy to use and it seems to be working great. I don't use the auto backup but transfer video files from another hard drive is doing great.

    I bought this to use as a internal HDD, cover the 3.3v pin and you have yourself a 8tb internal. great purchase and i no longer need to worry about storage. As an external, it does the job you would need it to do. Buy it when it goes on sale for 60 dollars off. Worth the money at that point.

    I needed more space to store my stuff and it’s easy to use. I’m not tech savvy but I didn’t have trouble setting up. Still works great like it’s not there just open the program and transfer the data for storing.

    This was easy to set up and a good value for the amount of storage. I’m using it for Xbox game storage. Will take me years to use it all.

    Super easy to use but rather bulky and you have to plug it in. We needed this to store county board meeting recordings, so the extra storage capacity was a must. Good product overall!

    So far so good -- I've been only plugging it in when i need to back up, about every 2 weeks, then eject and unplug again. I'm hoping that will extend the life of the product. I typically get about 3 years from these drives (I use on a mac for time machine backups).

    Stores files like you'd expect. Software is included on the device, had to restart before it worked as it should after installation. Overall great way to keep your media.

    Quit working within 16 months. Lost my data and had to buy a new backup drive. Additionally, the cable port was very flimsy, and never stayed connected, making ongoing backups impossible without manually doing them.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Please reach out to our support team by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb) so we can look into it and explore a possible replacement (if needed) or a solution for you.
