    Really good so far. Fast on 3.0, which helps for editing video, etc. Always trust WD Black.

    I have a Netgear ReadyNAS. I hooked this external drive up to my ReadyNAS and I'm using it to backup data from my NAS. It works flawlessly and it's quick!

    This is a gem. It’s not like other large home data storage solutions that take a ton of time to load data. Has worked really fine so far.

    OK if you want a 3.5" drive, but same price as 2.5" drives these days. Doesn't appear to be faster than 2.5" drives & needs a power supply. Vents on top collect dust.

    Obviously, the drive was easy to install. Have had no issues. I wish the data transfer rate was faster but, other than that, am satisfied.

    DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DRIVE. As seen in my pic, all 3 have crashed with my priceless film footage over the last 8 months. This brand is unreliable. I have many drives. Frequent buyer and I’ve learned the MY BOOK brand is a catastrophe.
