    As my need for storage increased I found that I was in need to a larger storage space and found this when it went on sale. I have only used WD for any external hard drives and can say that I dont think I would use any other brand because it has always worked for me. This product is easy to use and love it.

    So far I’ve never had a western digital drive fail on me. I trust the brand. This makes makes for a good alternative for a backup drive (I highly recommend a NAS, cloud storage is great too albeit monthly fee for greater amounts of storage and internet speed).

    Picked this up from Best Buy at a great price through a Deal of the Day promotion. I've used smaller Western Digital external hard drives and pocket drives for years, and never had one fail me. I wanted to consolidate the multiple drives connected to my computer, and this allowed me to do that. Very happy with it.

    Used to backup a few PCs and it works great for that purpose. It does heat up under heavy use so I placed a fan near it.

    I needed a large amount of storage to backup work data. This was easy to format for use on a Mac and was a plug and go. I was able to transfer 7TB quickly without any issues. I will definitely be buying additional devices when this has been filled to the max.
