    I have had the 2 TB "My Book" for several years, with no problems. But I outgrew it, and needed a new one. So this, I know, will do the job marvelously. I've had one or two other smaller external HDs as well, and only consider WD because I know they are reliable, that I can get good tech support from BB if I need it, and the same from WD (which I have used for a smaller, more portable one).

    The My Book 4TB I bought a few months ago started making some mechanical noise after a few weeks. It's still working correctly and the noise level remains the same.

    Hard to give full review this early after purchase, as long term reliability is so important, but so far it works as expected.
