    I struggled to choose which external HD I wanted, but it came down to personal preference. I can't believe, I transferred all the files from my old external hard drive onto this one, plus files from the computer and there's still a ton of room for more! My computer actually runs a lot better and faster since I removed files and put them on the WD-easystore!

    Excellent for backing up files! I do a lot conversion of photos to videos and want to make sure my works-in-process are safely backed-up, so I don't lose any of my work in progress. Very easy to use and I am very happy with my decision to use this for my back-ups.

    I use this product as a backup storage to store ps4 game information on in conjunction with my ps5 system. It works very well about 90 to 95 percent of the time . Occasionally I will get a message saying that it was not shut off properly and it repairs itself with a small patch or update. Other than that I would have given it 5 stars. It certainly has more than enough storage for what I am using it for and performs great!

    I bought this thinking it was network ready. Well, turns out it only has USB and only works with my computer. I fly drones and I video all my flights and take hundreds of pictures in RAW, JPEG, etc. When I ran out of room on my present hard drives, I knew I needed a lot of storage. Well, I’ve loaded over a year’s worth of videos and pictures on to this massive hard drive… it still has 5 Tb of space left. I do not need its automatic backup. But I set it up anyway and it backup my complete computer without any problems. Well worth the money. Cons: runs hot, no Ethernet connection

    I got this for use with a PS4 Slim. It was a good thing I invested in a drive this size, Digital games take up a ton of space! Easy hook up, formatted without a problem and works well. The reason for the loss of a star is that it runs HOT. I had to open up a larger hole in the entertainment center behind it. I would definitely recommend using it in an open area.

    Using it on my MAC desktop. Had to format for my MAC but that was super easy to do. It took less than 2 minutes. I use it for my Time Machine backup. I have had it for 2 weeks and it runs great. How long it lasts, is the biggest determining factor as to how good this hard drive is. I have had great luck with WD so I am confident this one will be good also. It replace a 4tb WD.

    I bought this on sale on Black Friday for $150.00 and you can not beat it! This is still the one with a WD Red drive in it and it runs great in the enclosure it is in. My original plan was to take it apart but I am able to place it in a well ventilated area so I left it alone... The WD Red drive that is in this thing on it's own costs around $220.00 so it's a freaking steal!

    voided the warranty immediately and broke the drive out of the case to use in my desktop. The drive works great to replace a failing backup drive in my desktop computer. It was $70 cheaper to buy it in the external case rather than buy it loose.

    I have been using WD external hard drives for many years and have had really good luck with them, I have never had a failure, and this drive is no exception, it works flawlessly and has more than enough storage for my needs!
