    I've used WD again and again. Prices keep coming down, storage keeps going up and reliability and performance improve. Easy plug and play for anyone not wanting to think about their backup drive. Perfect for USB networking from a capable router.

    Great amount of space for the price, a real bang for the buck. Have had no problem with reliability with this brand. The speeds will not be the fastest of course, but it's a good drive to act as a backup for your files.

    Great for Nvidia Shield External Drive

    If anyone is wondering, this drive works great with a Nvidia Shield Pro as a external hard drive. I have lots of media on mine and it goes into sleep mode when not in use. Even stays asleep most of the time when I am using the shield with a slow blinking light. Usually only wakes when I pull up the movies on it.

    I bought this as a backup for my Mac's Time Capsule. It was really easy to format and set up and it works like a dream. My other backup is also a WD (My Book) with half the TB but it's been with me for many years, so I know this brand is reliable.

    This is my 2nd WD external drive. I didn't use any of the built-in software so I can't elaborate on that. This drive works well for backing up my data. This drive is NOT for you if you want to move it around a lot. There are more durable high-capacity drives available if you want a portable option.
