    I needed additional space for my iTunes library on my iMac and this drive worked perfectly. It isn't the fastest drive, but it is more than fast enough for iTunes and it's hard to beat the price for 4TB. The drive enclosure is much larger than "portable" USB drives, and you wouldn't want to carry it around in your laptop bag, but it is plenty small enough for desktop use. This drive is a great way to add storage to your Mac (it works with Time Machine too).

    I use it as an external hard drive for my xbox one and have had no complaints up to date. I chose this over a seagate due to the external power cord. I like not having the added power drain on my xbox.

    Decent Backup Storage Option

    My biggest problem with this drive is the time it takes to wake up - sometimes 30+ seconds. Transfer speeds are fine, however, once it's going. I wouldn't recommend this drive if you're going to access it often, but it's adequate for a backup or long-term storage option that you might not access frequently.

    Bought this for my Xbox One to store my games on. For the price, I could could not find a better price. The unit itself was very easy to set up, basically plug in, format, and play. (5 mins max).

    This was an amazing buy for the price. The 4 TB SPACE was what I was looking for in a storage hard drive. I am very happy with the purchase and the performance is amazing eye writing or reading from the drive.

    So far so good, I am using the hard drive to hold my movies using EMBY Server Software. So far it has handled everything I have thrown at it, write speeds are a little below the stated speeds but not enough to be a detractor the read speeds make up for it.

    I bought this as a gift and the person really likes WD in general and this product specifically. As mentioned the hard drive is easy to use. Just install the products which is extremely easy and start backing up your files. The external drive performs as advertised.
