    I bought this because my new laptop has an SSD drive and not as much capacity as I wanted, so I will use it to house data - music, photos, videos, etc.

    I use this to backup a MyCloud. I had to reformat the drive to be recognized on the MyCloud. Not a fault of this product but a limitation of the MyCloud. This works great.

    Does a great job extending your storage capacity. While not small in size, easy to fit behind furniture to not be noticeable.

    I got this hard drive as a gift for my son. He uses it not only for school, but also to store all of his movies, games, etc. He loves this. I actually may have to buy one for myself.

    I bought this well over a year ago as a NAS backup drive, and it’s performed without fail. I didn’t use any of the included software, so I can’t vouch for that.

    Western Digital's 4 TB MyBook hard drive is a bargain. It couldn't be more plug-and-play. I'm looking forward to a long time backing up my important files to it.
