    Required formatting to the Apple file system to show up on Macs, but has performed very well as a network attached drive for the house.

    Got this hard drive for my Xbox one. Make the one run faster and smoother. This is one of IGN's top rated externals for this purpose.

    We always buy Western Digital hard drives. Never failed for us - we mostly keep pictures on them, and back up copies of regular HD.

    Small enough to easily carry in laptop bag. I always lost flash drives, with this, all my docs & medis are saved & stored in one place.

    This is what WD good at and I have nothing to say more .... "With password protection and hardware encryption, this WD My Book external hard drive allows you to protect and privatize your stored documents. The 4TB capacity delivers ample space for videos, photos, music and other files." And you will be agree with me after you try it.

    I never buy anything but Western Digital. Never had one drive fail. I use primarily on my Mac, never any issues with formatting.

    The USB 3.0 Is blazing fast. My only gripe is the wall wart that needs to be plugged in and the fact there's no on/off switch,.

    I bought this to expand the storage on my XBox One. So far, so good. The one very slight complaint I have is that the light continues to flash even when not in use. From other reviews I've read, this is normal. It's about one blink per second. Nothing a little piece of electrical tape probably couldn't fix. Install times from discs also seem to be slightly faster with this hooked up to the system.
