    We've been buying these for backup and have 10 or more stored with backup data. Good price and, so far, great service.

    We have depended on the WD hard drives for many years. The previous hard drives (4) are still in service and provide excellent backup for our documents and photos.

    We bought this drive to set up as a network drive via Asus router. Setup was effortless and easy. Download/upload speed is pretty good. So far so good!

    Nice drives and good storage and fast speed. They do come with a sleep timer as well, so may have a delay of 5 seconds when the device is coming out of sleep mode.

    Found out set up instructions were down loaded once I hooked up on my computer. No mention of this in box. I am not very computer savvy and it took me a while to locate drive instructions. Drive works well, but would recommend that if your not knowledgeable about computers to seek help from someone who is.
