    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.

    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!

    We download lots of music, videos, and graphics. We also use these external drives to make backups of our computers and of our other external drives. WD has always been a great product for us through the years.

    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!

    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!

    I bought this drive so I could perform local PC backup. Performance was good, and I am using usb 2. Once I put a usb 3 card in my pc it will be even faster. Very happy with the purchase

    WD has improved there products, usually buy Seagate, but Best Buy retail stores do not carry them anymore. This drive works great, no connection issue, was easy to partition using Windows disk management. I’m pleased with it.

    I'm impressed with the My Book. Does really well holding all my games and apps from my Xbox one s. No problems at all. Best Buy even price matched the item because amazon had it online cheaper. I'm glad I have all this extra space now.

    I have a couple of these now, never had a problem. I use it to keep files off my hard drive in case there is any problem with the laptop. I never leave any important data in-saved now. Mostly use it to keep family photography safe.

    This is my 2nd one, its all that is advertised. I think it is the best buy. I save and backup all of my photos, music & videos. Works just like a flash drive but better & more capacity. Was very easy to start using right out of the box.

    This was so easy to install. Plug and play for the most part. When the router did not recognize the drive, a quick google search and the instructions were to format the drive. Super easy and great drive.
