    I haven't really used the built-in software for backing up your computer yet. Have just been storing files on it through Windows Explorer. But it seems to be working well. No complaints based on my usage so far.

    Bought this for use with my PS4 Pro, and it has not disappointed. Easy to setup, and easy to use. Memory storage is just as advertised. Bought it when it was on sale, so even better! Now I can store all the digital content I want.

    I bought this drive with the intent of "shucking" the shell in order to grab just the hard disk drive itself. The shucking was super easy (you can find instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/7fx0i0/wd_easystore_8tb_compendium/) and the drive itself worked right out-of-the-box in my QNAP NAS

    I've been looking for a HD to download all of my GoPro videos that I take while I ride my motorcycle around. I found this to be the perfect addition to my needs. Easy to set up, easy to get going. Now I don't have to stress about not having enough time to edit videos between rides.

    With 8TB, I've finally found a big enough device to keep my data backed up and safe. It is easy to install and use. When not in use, I disconnect it and hide it in a safe place. I have too many family photos, videos and documents that I would hate to lose. So thankful for WD's easystore external hard drive.
