    The drive was purchased for my mac. I had difficulty initially partitioning the drive, could be my own user error. As of now the drive works perfectly for the purpose that it was purchased.

    My son needed something to store all his movies and books, both audio and e books, and music so that he did not use up all the storage on his new laptop. He is a truck driver and is gone for weeks at a time. When he comes home he gets any new movie we have and puts it in the external hard drive so he has movies to watch when he is not driving. We have many WD external My Book hard drives that we use for the same reason..

    If you are in need of finding external storage space for the tons of data you have amassed on your PC, then you've found the right product. I still have My Passport Ultra (which is also made by Western Digital) but only contains 1 TB. My Book contains 4 TB of external space for only twice the price. I wish I had known this, because I certainly would have bought My Book if I had known I needed over 1 TB for my laptop.

    When reviewing the product specs for all the WD external drives I had to choose between cloud, ethernet, wireless, USB, hardware encryption, etc. Why can't I have it all in one unit? Otherwise the performance and capacity is great.
