    I love this hard drive. Has plenty of room to save all my files and pics. The only downside is it does have a LED to let u know it is in use. Other then that great product.

    Very reliabnle External drive. Western Digital has been making drives for decades and they put their experience into every drive they make. Great speed for access and storing and can be used for daily back ups as well.

    Bought this model after my old WD external drive died. I am using it on an IMac. One word to the wise.... don't install their software. Just format the drive for use on your mac & you are good to go.

    This is my 3rd WD 4TB. First two still in service after several years, added the 3rd for more backup storage. Most reliable brand I've ever encountered and over 30 years I've tried most brands.

    This external drive has been programed to back up my entire computer every night so that if anything goes wrong, this will put it all back. Thanks to Bob at Geek Squad for setting this up

    Works just like they said it would. A hard drive for large amounts of video music and photos. Only thing that puzzles me is why they didn't add an activity light. Ah well. For the price it was well with it.

    This is a great drive, however I was having issues with using it on my Linksys router. I ended up using this just on my PC and not on the router. I should have bought a dedicated NAS but the price on this was a no brainer. This is a very fast and quiet drive.

    Needed a large drive to move data off of a NAS and this worked great. I couldn't wait to get one shipped online so it was nice to get a good drive at a good price and pick it up the same day.

    This is a great option for the money. If you are looking to have a reliable way to store and keep your personal files this device won't disappoint. It has very decent transfer speeds. You can't go wrong with a WD.

    I own 4 Western Digital External Hard Drives and I had to get another one, and when I saw this one, I just had to get it. WD has worked amazing for me over the years and I recommend them as a great storage option.
