    I buy these for work frequently, not because they fail, we just have a lot of data storage needs. I have had great success with them.

    Need Video Editing Space? And Fast!?

    This is 3.0 USB speed super fast and has Ton of space at a whopping capacity of 6TB. This is perfect if you plan on editing videos a lot! It doesn't have spool up lag like 2.5" drives which is really nice. I have both WD 3.0 2.5" and 3.5" drives and the 2.5" has a Spool up delay and the 3.5" is immediate. Though the 2.5" is self powered USB and portable it's atleast understandable. So this 3.5" is perfect for a desktop set up since it requires a plug to power it.

    I have 4 MyBook external drives backing up my graphic files. They are a reasonably priced way to expand memory. I use an automatic backup system to not only back up files, but keep separate periodic redundant backups.
