    I’m so glad I chose the 4 TB. I didn’t realize how many files I was going to back up. I love how easy it is to back up to this external drive.

    I've ran 6TB NASes on Linux (old school) that were heavy, noisy, big. I decided my 10 year old Intel NAS (yes Intel used to make them) needed replacing and this drive is tiny and light and FAST.

    Lot's of space, great price. WD My Book storage units have been reliable for years. I just bought two 4TB units and they passed rigorous I/O tests prior to use.

    Western Digital has always been reliable for me and for the price their 3 or 4 GB drives offer a great option for backing up my files.

    Small desktop footprint. Light weight. Tough shell. Much better than a USB key drive for small mobile backing up. Definitely an improvement over the MyBook.

    Solid medium speed (for a HDD) drive

    I got this for a family member as an archive drive, and while it's early days yet, WD remains the best hard drive vendor -if- one buys the drives anywhere besides Amazon or Ali-Express. Genuine WDs are really worth the peace of mind. This external drive is not the fastest, but that's fine because it's meant for archival\backup and data transport by lay folks. Among its peers it's middle-of-the-pack. Anyway, I read that the drive inside of this enclosure is of better stock than the one in the other cheaper consumer WD external drives.

    Good price for the amount of storage you get. I have it attached to my server and use it as the server backup. So yes, I backup and then backup my backup.

    Simple to use. Just "plug and play." This unit is durable. Everything is included in the package. This product works with Windows and Apple. I never had a problem with WD External Hard Drives. Just remember to disconnect the proper way. And it will last you beyond the expected use. Best Buy is great because they do price matching. And . . . this WD Hard Drive is readily available at most Best Buy Stores, including here in Hawaii
