    Replaced a 2Tb drive with this one to backup a ReadyNAS. Original drive had worked fine but I needed more storage. So far so good.

    I needed to get a device that would hold my backs ups that are spread out between 3 devices. This was easy, and did the job!

    This 4TB external drive hosts all of my ripped videos and a mirrored copy of all of my home pics/vids. I'm very happy with it.

    I purchased this drive to house all my iTunes media on a Mac. I did have to format the drive for Mac vs PC, but that was a simple process. Once it was formatted, it took a few days to transfer data from my network drive, which was expected. The performance of this drive with the media is so much faster than the network drive, and I am only using USB 2.0, not the 3.0 it is capable of. I have no complaints about this drive, and I have multiple large WD drives throughout my home, and trust the brand for reliability.

    This hard drive is great for the price, upgrades internal load speeds and overall space. About the size of a wii console though and needs the adapter to be independently plugged in. All in all good product though!

    As the mother of a toddler I take a lot of pictures. The my book made it so easy for me to know where all my pictures were and not have to keep them on my phone.

    This external drive and included software makes it easy to backup all of our home computers, and the USB 3.0 interface helps it do it quickly. Then I can easily take the drive to my office for an offsite backup.

    Works great. Cost per TB matched online prices without having to wait for free or paying for shipping. Rather pay a few dollars more & tax to a box store if there are any problems. Wish WD had a on/off switch.

    I needed more backup externally than I already had. I just hope this product is more durable than another I had which failed. I back every thing up and often. My PC was hit with a file blocker called CRYPTO LOCKER which holds all your files for ransom. Who would be silly enough to pay those guys money and see what other damage they would do to your credit. It took time but I cleaned out all my files. Then reloaded from the external hard drive. If you don't have one I suggest that you get one soon.

    Good storage for the price. I don't know if I like the set up with this drive. It wants to use software that comes with the drive instead of a normal drag and drop method that you would do with a flash drive.
