DO NOT BUY FOR PS4
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it for the ps4 worked good for about two weeks. Started needing repairs once in a while. A month out and it constantly needs repairs and reformats. Turned off the automatic sleep setting on the hardrive using a pc, still has issues. Probably works great as a normal pc external hard drive.

Not happy!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I brought it home and put lots of valuable data on it and it tore up the next day. There was no way to get to the data. This is just my experience. I’m sure it’s a fine product but the one I got was not.

never buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this carp product will annoy you. In week two it failed to open. I freaked out big time, because I had a lot of information stored in it. Then for magical reason, it worked again. Now it seem to work, but I can no longer trust this crap and had to buy store again from cloud.

Stopped being recognized after 4 days
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was able to add several GB of data from old computer stored it back in its box, but when connected to new computer it worked for an hour before the computer would stop recognizing it. Must not be a good design.

Do not buy!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this product, had for 2 weeks before it crashed and I lost everything; schoolwork, photos, and videos, everything I had on it. DO NOT BUY! WD can not recover you're data and you have to pay again for a possible used one for replacement to your new one!

New unit was truly defective
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought a brand new unit and it was defective right out of the box. First thing I did after I opened the item was plugged it straight into my PS4, and it said it was unable to format the device because there was corrupted data on it. How?
