Great HD
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the HD and use it for my Xbox One. Plenty of space and speed in comparison to my internal Xbox hard drive. Very easy to set up and couldn't ask for anything more. Got it for a deal at $119.99 and it was an obvious choice.

Watch Out for the newer firmware versions
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase this a a duplicate drive for backups as I already have another 4TB My Book. The problem I had was XP would not recognize the newer drive. I have no problem with the other slightly older 4TB My Book. If it wasn't for this it would have 5 stars. I use an older computer (XP) as a server so I don't tie up laptops or workstations.

Fast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a really good price for 4TBs. I was amazed at how quickly the files are written to this drive via usb 3.0. I have not had it long, so I can't comment on the longevity of this drive. I have no issues with it so far.

Speedy, quiet and HUGE!
