    Unit is easy to install and the USB3 Port is so quick I couldn't believe that my 130 Gigabyte iMac Hard Drive had been fully backed up. But after looking into the back up file it was all there.With Time Machine backs up flawlessly to unit and is completely transparent..

    I have purchased two of these for a home media center and will be buying a third. Does everything it says it will. Have had no problems with either one. My only complaint is that 4TB is really 3.7TB, but that's the case with all hard drives and not exclusive to WD.

    I have purchased many drives over the years from WD, both internal and external, and have never had a problem with any of them. I have one that has been running daily for 10 years and is still spinning strong and I expect the same from this one.

    I was happy to purchase this 4 terabyte drive at a discount in the Best Buy store. Already formatted as NFTS, I chose to re-do as Mac Extended Journaled in one volume. ALL my videos fit and are available!

    Have been buying WD internal & external drives for years and have always been extremely pleased with their reliability. Have only had to replace one drive since 1995 and they made even that easy to do.

    Purchased 2 of these external drives for use with 2 new HP Windows 8.1 systems. The USB 3.0 interface provides very fast backup, several times faster than the older WD USB 2.0 drives. I am using the full version of Acronis True Image 2014 and have had no issues.

    Good reliable drive. USB3.0, fast, powers down when USB is unplugged or the computer is shut down, don't have to worry about unplugging from the wall. I have a bunch of these drives, no problems so far.
