    This hard drive was plug and play on my Windows 10 laptop. The software that came with it was a bit clunky to understand but I got used to it. You can also use the Windows 10 auto backup software.

    I needed a larger backup drive and wanted something reasonable in price. This does both. The instructions were lacking, but I was able to set it up in spite of the poor instructions. Overall, I’m satisfied with this drive.

    Very easy to use. I purchased this to get all the pictures off of my phone and my laptop. This was super easy to load all the pictures onto it and now I have lots of room on my devices.

    Bought this cause i was told that this was the best external hard drive for the xbox one and I've got to say im really impressed. Plays games off of it with incredible speed and tons of storage. Love this HardDrive!!! Gave it a 4 star cause it's a big bulky for my taste.

    Got on sale for 100$ and got several others to get it as well. WD is still the leader when it comes to storage drives and a 4t modular solution works wonders in today's file heavy environments.

    I bought this drive to backup my wife's iPhone. She had used all of the iPhone storage and needed to copy the pictures and videos before deleting them. The WD My Book was easy to setup and transfer the data.

    With the new Sony software update additional storage can be added to your PS4. Easy setup. You may want to purchase a usb hub for additional connections.

    Great value. I needed it for video work. Connected to my Macbook with no problems. I work with Final Cut for video projects. The drive is fast. I would recommend it and buy another when I run out of space.
