    Massive Speedy Storage for Practical Cost

    This device works like any other WD MyBook products. USB 3.0, power saving when not in use. Power up when accessed. Makes a great add-on extension if you have lots of media for the Plex box you might be running.

    A 1948 Buick in a world of Ferraris

    Used for 2 months now. My write speeds connected through USB3 and Windows 10 are never faster than 25 MB per second. I have never seen any HDD this slow. The platter speed must be 1200 rpm based on how slow it is. Huge capacity but at the cost of VERY sluggish performance. I have another WD HDD external drive with 6TB storage. It spins at 7200 rpm and writes at 125 MB per second. If you can tolerate how slow this drive writes, then go for it. It gets the job done.. . .like a 95 year old grandmother.
