    I needed a larger backup drive and wanted something reasonable in price. This does both. The instructions were lacking, but I was able to set it up in spite of the poor instructions. Overall, I’m satisfied with this drive.

    I bought this drive to backup my wife's iPhone. She had used all of the iPhone storage and needed to copy the pictures and videos before deleting them. The WD My Book was easy to setup and transfer the data.

    With the new Sony software update additional storage can be added to your PS4. Easy setup. You may want to purchase a usb hub for additional connections.

    Great value. I needed it for video work. Connected to my Macbook with no problems. I work with Final Cut for video projects. The drive is fast. I would recommend it and buy another when I run out of space.

    Great for the price. Love the idea of it being a local druve but find it ridiculous to pay ten dollars a month for cloud storage access.

    I just got this My Book to replace one I have had at least 10 years that wasn't worn out just noisy. The MyBook 4TB was very easy to install and is working great.

    Partitioned this drive to backup my 2TB data drive and 256GB SSD on my Dell laptop. One partition I image about 4 times a year, the other uses File History regular backup. Works great!

    I got this as a backup-backup for my home computers. It seems to work pretty well and is fast enough over USB 3. Two small complaints though: 1. The USB 3 cable provided is pretty short. Thankfully I had a much longer one already so I could put the My Book on a shelf a couple feet away from the computer instead of having to put it /right next/ to the computer. 2. There are no status lights at all on it so you can't tell if it has power or the disk is being accessed. Small gripe, would be nice to have. I've only had it a couple months so I can't speak for long term reliability, but the price was decent (on sale) and it gives me one more level of backup redundancy to help protect my files. Also, I haven't used the native WD utilities so I can't speak for their usability.

    I can find no fault with this hard drive. It does what it says it should, and 3.0 USB port Is at least 5x faster then the 2.0 I was using.

    Heavy but okay

    The cable it came with did not work, used an old WD cable from another drive. It works okay now. It's heavy and while it's running, it wobbles if lift it up. Later found out the price went on sale after 2weeks. Somehow don't receive BB reward points for this purchase. It happened to me before, if you exchanged an item with same one, your reward points will be forfeited, be aware of this tactic from BB.
