Great External Drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to expand the amount of storage for my Xbox one. It worked right out of the box. I only had to follow the prompts for formatting on the Xbox, and I was all set with an expanded 4 TB in about ten minutes or so. Moved all of my games over to it and notice an appreciable reduction in load times thanks to it being a USB 3.0 drive as opposed to the USB 2.0 internal drive of the Xbox. I would definitely recommend this to other Xbox or PS4 owners looking for additional space.

Dependable and low cost!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality for a low price! I bought my HD to back up my music projects and sample packs for my production. 4 tb was more than enough! To top that it’s still running and so much more dependable than my old 2tb because of the speed. All of my projects are now being saved to this thing. Definitely recommend!

My Xbox X buddy
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this drive for my Xbox x and it has been flawless. Xbox will ask you to format the drive and then if you would like to make it the primary drive. Doing so will make all games go to the external saving space on your console drive. Any USB 3 Drive will work fine, but have great experiences with Western Digital.

4TB WD External Drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was necessary for me to buy one of these as my old drive failed. This drive worked so easy. I plug it and told my computer to backup to this drive. About one hour later I checked and it had backed u[ all important information on my computer. I leave it connected to the computer and do automatic backups frequently. I highly recommend this drive for external backjp and it is fast!

This drive is METAL!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After dark forces destroyed my last WD drive - mainly my posting a fun picture of Dave Grohl as the devil showing I had 6.66% of my XBox external HDD free, I knew I had to do something to circumvent the evil powers trying to keep me from gaming and got this drive as a replacement. Pretty easy to use and get up and running on PC, XBox or PlayStation. You can’t go wrong.

Great 4TB USB 3.0 external HD.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this drive because Best Buy doesn't stock the 4TB WD easystore version in the stores and I needed it that day. I use it for external storage for a DISH Hopper 3 receiver. The largest external USB drive that you can use with the Hopper 3 is 7TB and the Hopper 3 has only one USB 3.0 port. The other two are USB 2.0.

Small but more than what I needed....
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this to transfer word documents to as a back up and it works wonderfully... I like knowing if my computer dies, which I have had happen, I will not loose my documents. I have another for Photo's and backups. I am confident that I will be safe in the event my computer fails me.

Used as network drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Over the years I've acquired 8 WD My Book drives in different sizes. Only had an issue with one of the 2 TB drives (my fault). I like these drives for backup and networking. I now have 2 of these 4TB drives. Both are partitioned in half. One partition contains all my CD's ripped to wav and the other contains my Go Pro vids and camera pics. One drive is the main and the other is backup. I'm waiting for the 6TB to come down in price, I'm running out of space (lol).
