    This was a great hard drive. I found it to work perfectly with my xbox one. I did not try to open it to use it as an internal hard drive. This was a great hard drive. I found it to work perfectly with my xbox one. I did not try to open it to use it as an internal hard drive. I would highly recommend this drive. However $130 or more is way too much to spend. Wait until this drive is under $100 then buy.

    This external hard drive is exactly what I was looking for. I have tons of photos and documents on an old computer and I do not want to loose any.l So, I went looking. Yes, I did some looking on the internet... but then did the smart thing... I went to Best Buy and looked at their stock. A sales person did give some advice and we made the purchase. It is just what I wanted.

    Great drive, great price. If you need a drive with crazy space for miscellaneous files, this is the drive for you. Can't go wrong with WD

    There is not much to say about a hard drive. They either work or they don't. I have had good luck with WD hard drives and I like the My Book software that comes with it. It makes things easier for you. I haven't had it for too long but it's been good so far. I am taking one star off because of the price. Best Buy very rarely discounts hard drives.

    I was constantly running out of storage before I purchased this bad boy. Very easy to set up. Plug in, format, and you are ready to go. It takes a while to move everything one by one but i'm good storage wise for a good while now.

    Not gonna lie - picked two up because it was on sale at an incredible price. Been very pleased with the performance and stability - no problems with the drive hibernating, wakes up quick, and while performance won't break any records it's very consistent. Definitely a solid option in external drives, but we'll have to see how long they actually last.
