I attached it to my USB 3.0 NAS port on NetGear R7800 Router. Set it up with automatic backup on several PCs.
Very happy with size, price and speed.

Purchased this for add on space to download games and store files for Wii U games. 3 TB is a little overkill for game storage but the product works

WD drives have always been good to me with minimal problems compared with other drives, and this one continues that pattern. Reliable functionality and consistent performance builds confidence, and I'm proof of that.

An Excellent Backup Device

I have a 11 year old Seagate Drive that only has 500 gb and needed a device with more memory. I read reviews and asked our resident experts which was better: Seagate or WD. The majority said WD because the Seagate hard drives were failing frequently. I liked the WD 3tb which had large vents and a solid reputation.
Though it took a little while to understand the setup (it took three attempts to update and download the software) it is working like a champ with the WD, Microsoft, and VEAM backup software.
I would recommend 3tb WD.

Got this primarily as a system backup when I re-format my internal drive. Setup was easy, as was updating drivers, etc. Worked great right out of the box.

The equipment stores data, that's true...BUT....I missed the sale, if I was a week earlier, I could have gotten a 4 TB cheaper than the 3.
Be an educated consumer and jump at the sales when they appear.

This is a good storage hard drive unit for general usage. Large space (3tb) for movies, photo, music, documents, and more. Only downside is that it is a big drive and not very portable.
