    Bought 2 of these drives to replace smaller drives used as system backups. Drives perform flawlessly and quickly. Love the speed you get from USB 3.0.

    WD drives are my go-to drives for quick and easy backups in our cad room at work. We use these daily and are connected 24-7 , can't say I've ever had one fail on me.

    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.

    Needed an external hard drive for my xbox one and this was highly rated by multiple site. Only complaint is it did not speed up loading time that much but at least I have the extra storage for games now.
