Great product

Works Perfectly So Far

Great external drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed to store lots of large video files (~25gb each) and this does the job well. 4tb is quite a bit of space and will at least hold a year of media for our church

Great external hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a new external hard drive to accommodate thousands of pictures and videos we take on our cameras and phones. The WD My Book was perfect and the price was very reasonable compared to other stores. Set-up was simple; no problems whatsoever; and it blends in well with our PC and it takes up very little space. I highly recommend this product. I ordered online for pick-up; the process was so efficient.

Too soon to tell
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only been using this 4TB drive for a few weeks. Without using test equipment, I do not have a reasonable basis for estimating speed. So far it has done everything I could reasonably ask of it and for the price I am pleased with the purchase at this point.

Great external storage option
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always turned to Western Digital for reliable, fast storage options. This drive does not disappoint. Now, I just wish my new laptop supported drives this big, but it doesn't. That is not the drive's fault. I would choose this drive again anytime.

This is nice and can be a good buy when on sale
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a external HD so you get what you pay for, kinda gets hot and alittle loud but maybe i got a weird unit. I love the extra space and got it on sale, so I can't complaint hat much I guess. overall a good purchase but there are better ones on the market.
