    I purchased this to replace another brand that started making the "click of death" sounds constantly. While I felt the other brand was a quality product when I purchased it, its online reputation has deteriorated over the past few years. So I purchased this WD unit and am very happy with its performance, capacity, ease of use (plug and play), and solid feel.

    With the passing of several close friends, my wife was running out of storage for the various bits of data that were left behind for her, and we needed a sturdy, reliable, offline storage device to off-load all the data onto. In our modern world, it's not just physical belongings that get left behind, but digital ones. I've come to rely on Western Digital drives over the course of over four decades, and this one is just as solid so far.

    It's really easy to use. It's not a network connected server type back up but a very good wired back up for your data. Very fast very USB 3.0

    I wanted an external hard drive to store large files and to backup my files on my computer --- the 3TB was not much more in price than the 2TB

    I had a 2TB external I bought from Best Buy several years ago,but it was almost full,so I bought this 4TB My Book to handle all my files. This is a great external HD,simple to use,just plug and play...I had all my files transferred in about 12 hours from my old HD...starts fast,and has plenty of room! I suggest buying one if you need some extra storage!
