4 TB made easy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My trusty 2 TB portable drive was flashing red in Windows as it neared full and wouldn't you know it I had another two dozen CD's to rip. So I went down to Best Buy, where I'd gotten the 2 TB several years ago, and found this WD My Book. It was at a good price and I was able to transfer all the old drives files over without any issues. The drive is quiet, has it's own power supply and some good software is included. I used the included WD Drive utilities to turn off the sleep mode because I use the drive for streaming and need it to be ready to go on a moments notice. Very happy customer.
