    I am really enjoying this Hard Drive. I am using it to backup my Mac Pro, which has four 1TB drives--so getting a 4TB drive is a must! The price is great for the amount of space. I highly recommend it!

    This is easy to use. Just plug and play takes about 3 min for the xbox one to format the hard drive. Gives you plenty of storage. And works great!!!

    I bought this drive to replace 4 1 GB Sata drives. I was surprised at to how fast the transfer rate thru USB! I currently use this drive for all my personal files and photo/video storage. Will be buying another one for my computer's automatic system backups

    We started with the 500GB about 7 years ago. Now we are looking forward to trying out the 4T. Great for backing up family photos and videos.

    Best in External Drives

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I deal with TB of information daily. I have owned Seagate and Lacie (which by the way is owned by Seagate now) and repeatedly over the years those drives have almost ruined me, not to mention the thousands of dollars spent on data recovery. At one time I had a Seagate external with a Seagate External Backup AND THEY BOTH FAILED! Western Digital HAS NEVER FAILED me in the last 16 years! The My Books are Extreme Workhorses! Hands down Western Digital is the Best for the consumer to pro-consumer. I also have a Pegasus 32 TB which is awesome but that is another level entirely. I purchased several of these WDs for Back Up and am very pleased,

    This 4TB HD stores all of my iTunes movies and TV Shows, I don't have to worry about ever losing them again. I keep this HD backed up to a network HD so I always have duplicates saved.

    You really can not beat the performance and size of these hard drives for the price. 4tb is a ton of space for around $150. Grab a few!

    Good product, terrible software

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Great product worked well with other backup software, bought it on sale. The software that it comes with is not that great. Many problems trying to get it to work properly on USB 2. USB 3 was fast but the software took a long time to back up. I used another backup program that fit my needs and was able to quickly back up my entire computer.

    I bought this to be my external drive for my XB1. I have no complaints. It works, does the job. Could be my imagination, but games seem to load faster.
