I have been using Western Digital Hard Drives for over 7 Years. They last a long time and perform as expected, if not better than expected due to the lower price point. You definitely get your money's worth with this product.

This is my 3rd WD external hard drive I own . Must have if you are looking to buy a storage drive. Cheaper than they first came out. I back up my Mac with it and use to store my MP3'S, movies, pictures without having to have another program do it. This external hdd is no different than the regular wd external hard drive. Just that I didn't have to reformat it to use with my Mac. It's done for you.

If you need good storage this is great to have. It will keep your main hard drive from filling up. If you need to tranfer other photos,video and files to be used on another computer just unplug an plug in to another computer. The good thing about this unit is that you can set it up for mac or pc by reformatting it.

This is a great backup drive for time machine. The only thing that I don't really like is the inability to daisy chain multiple external hard drives to it because the device has limited input/output (USB-3).

I got a Mac Mini to do iPhone/iPad development on and after losing my setup on a Windows 8.1 machine I decided that I had to have full system backups in case the machine died or I messed something up. This device works so well with TimeMachine that I don't worry about installing new software and losing work. It is fast and doesn't interrupt my work. I still keep online backups of my RC Calculators, Drill Bit Charts, and other projects that I'm porting from the other platform, but I don't worry about having to rebuild my system if something goes wrong.

Hard drives are pretty basic items. This one is very quiet and surprisingly fast considering the fact that I only use a USB 2 connection. So far I have had no problems with the drive.

We've only had the WD My Book for about a month, but so far it has been easy to transfer and store files on. Classic black design makes it attractive and fits in with my other tech devices. We have a WD My Book that we have been using for 10+ years and it is still working without problems, just full. So, we expect this one to be just as good.

My third drive of this model. Use with software RAID in Time Machine if you want to get data protection. Write speed could be better, but at this price point it's well worth it.
