    I purchased this product to expand the memory on my Xbox One. It formatted quickly and works just as advertised. Couldn't be more pleased.

    I purchased this to replace an old one with a lot less storage. I prefer using this than keeping items on my laptop. Easy to set up and use.

    I have three of these external drives, and they're still solid and working great. I prefer them to Seagate, which I had one, and it gagged.

    Tons of storage, but no wifi features

    Got this drive to back up all the data I've collected over many years, from pictures to music to digital movies. Its solid overall, with good transfer speed via USB 3.0 and an easy to use interface. The big downside is that it doesn't have wifi capability, so unlike my WD My Cloud drive I can't access this device unless its physically hooked to my computer. If you're just looking for a simple way to back up your stuff, this is a good price for a ton of storage. However, I'd recommend paying just a bit more to get a WD MyCloud drive that lets you access all your backed up files from anywhere and allows you to backup files remotely.

    I use this for my backup of my wedding films that I shoot! It's been great! It's small enough to keep on my desk and works really well!

    I've had this external hard drive for about 9 months now with no problems. I've yet to reach the 4TB capacity. The only issue is it can take a while to copy bigger files.

    I bought this to backup my computer before upgrading to Windows 10. It works great but I did have to do some research and reformat it so Windows would stop giving errors. It was kind of annoying. After the format it works fine.

    WD has been a strong manufacturer for some time and this is another item in the line that meets the standard. Simple to use. Even comes with their back-up program if you do not want to use the one native to Windows (or whatever).

    WD drives are some of the most reliable. This drive so far is fast (if you have usb3.0) and works very well for my needs. Recommended.
