    Needed to replace my old external hard drive and this was on sale at a good price. Easy to install and set-up. it was difficult to set a schedule for auto back-up of the PC. Other than that, great product.

    Great product but not really necessary for me. If you need this much space then I would definitely recommend. I bought this on Black Friday since it was cheap.

    I didn't want to waste a sata slot on an internal hard disk drive, I reserve those for my SSDs. This drive is great for backing up large amounts of data, or for storing movies and such. I even have no issues playing 4K movies direct from the drive.

    I got the 4Tb mybook after returning the 3Tb cloud has drive. The MyBook drive is so much faster than the cloud drive and very easy to use and configure backups if you want. Since I leave the computer on 24/7 it made more sense for me to buy the 4tb Mybook giving me an extra Terrabyte for less money than the slower 3tb WD cloud drive..

    Bought this to use as a media server that I attached to my router. It works great but goes to sleep to easily. I know there is a way to change it but the tools are not overly friendly with a networked drive.

    This is a great drive. With 4tb, I partitioned 2 volumes (2tb each). One for storage of data and vms and another for backup images. Best feature for me is the kingston lock port so i can lock it to my desk and never have to worry about putting it away every time I use it. Its fast enough to reimage a 512gb disk in less than an hour. My only problem is if I have it plugged in and boot up the BIOs hangs. Not sure why that is but I assume it is due to the partitioning or something.
