    I got this on sale so I am pretty happy about the cost of this product. Overall it performs well. I am using it as attached storage to my media server. The drive does hybernate so there is some spin up time but nothing that would discourage me from buying the drive.

    Top of the line storage powerhouse for XBoxOne. Has its own power supply so it's less stressful to the already hot XBox.

    FROM 3 x 80GB to 4TB Best Buy I've made all year

    perfect for digital media power users that either create large media files or download them. It runs quietly, doesnt give off much heat and is fast enough to use as a media center. The WD backup software that is located on the storage device installs easiky and gives helpful support features that are potentially helpful for various backup scenarios: however, whenever the software indicated it was performing a backup it took hours to backup just a few files. I uninstalled the WD software and now do my backing.up manually. I've had no problems with the hard drive itself..

    It did stop 1 time and another 2 times it would say it needs to be formatted but it was and is storing stuff. That concerns me because I have had 4 various sizes and brands die on me in the last 1 1/2 yrs . I haven't figured out why yet. 1 was 5yrs old and I expected it to die but the rest were new and 2 only lasted 1-2 months.
