Great price and does what a drive should do
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased 4 T drive for under $100. Remember when 1 T cost more than $1,000. Appears to work well and is 2.0 and 3.0 USB compatible. Works more like a backup than an additional drive.

Perfect Storage for Home Office!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit is perfect for my home office! The USB cable proved to be long enough so I could tuck it out of the way on a shelf. Now I have plenty of file storage for my design work and music. And I just couldn't pass this up at the price!

A Great Buy!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this My Book 4TB HD because I needed more storage. My other HD is also a WD, but its a compact unit. The larger drive is faster at accessing my info, and it has 4 TB instead of 2TB to boot. A great value!

WD MyBook
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on sale for a good price - BB even matched Amazon’s lower price. No problem setting it up or doing the first backup. However last night even though I can browse the drive the WD Backup app can’t recognize it. This may require contact with WD Support. I’m sure there’s a fix out there!
