There are issue with the delivery process. But I got my refund.

It was hard to use this drive with a Mac system and I am still trying to find was to copy/move data off my Mac to the drive without doing a backup. When installing the software that came with the drive for the Mac, it wanted access to share information and login information that is not good.

I was not able to use this item. It fell out of my hands on the second day. Unfortunately, it was a cash purchase and I wasn't able to find the receipt either. Make sure you don't drop this thing!

Bought this 2 days ago. HD was working well until tonight. Was playing Heroes of the Storm. Had 2 more games stored in the hard drive. Just now it stopped working and made weird noises. Does not show up in my computer but the computer recognizes something is connected. returning tomorrow. very unhappy.

No complaints, no problems only been using for less than a year though

I tried this with my iMac and just had no luck. Returned to store.

Have to set it up when I need it. But looks cool. We shall see

I bought this for my kids xbox set it up and didnt think anything more of it. At first it seemed to work just fine. Now that it is past my return date I notice that when they turn the xbox on it doesnt recognize the hard drive like my other ones. The only way to get the xbox to recognize the hard drive is to unplug the USB and plug back in every time you turn the xbox on.

I thought I could use a password but I have not been able to. :-/

Once again the WD software was a challenge. Would not identify the drive in the software although Windows can see the drive and I can store data on it.

I was using this disk for time machine backups for work. The drive mounts, but I cannot read any data from it, and the Mac's storage utility app and time machine could not access the data after a reboot. Fortunately I'm not suffering data loss, but I'm not amused, the ability to restore is what matters not just backing up, and now I can't do that. After reformatting the volume, I can back up to it, but there are still issues, sadly MacOs cannot see the smart status. I'm going to need a more reliable volume.

Outstanding technology! This is a huge bang for the buck.

The instructions require a magnifying glass to read. It's like they're trying to save paper, or maybe they don't want you to read them.

Supposedly the fine print on my signed document for the recovery services warned that it might all not be recovered. However, the $500 estimate describing the files to be recovered did not indicate that some file would not be recovered. I don’t feel that I got what I paid for.

Now and days this is as basic as it gets. Nothing special. Does the job.

It works, but it's very slow. I would like to see a faster download.

This is my second external within a couple of months. The other one just stopped working. Gladly I had purchased the extra $15 replacement plan, so I was able to get this one, with paying another $15 of course. Guess they don't make them like they used to! :(

I wanted to attach these drives to a multi-port USB extension like I do with Flash Drives. When I attach them, they get recognized and then they disappear and not attached and can't use them.

GOOD QUALITY! EASY TO USE! RECOMMEND TO BUY IF YOU NEED IT.

WD is one of the best companies on the market for computer hardware. Love this portable hard drive.
