Great drive for backup.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this drive for backing up my photos and videos and it works great. It would have been nice if WD included a USB-C cable or USB-C version of the drive. Currently, I have to use a dongle with my MacBook Pro.

Really good for an external drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Transfer rate is good once you get past the very beginning of the disk. Latency seems high as my one software program that constantly does a very large number of writes to disk doesn't work with it because it can't keep up. I think it's due to the use of USB3 instead of eSATA but USB3 most PCs have and probably higher Max transfer rate while eSATA less common. This software should probably be used with an internal drive with a different connector type. Would be nice if the company wrote the included software to work for Linux. My review might be a little harsh 4/5 since the drive does what it claims from what I can tell. However, I'll use the slower drive speed at the beginning of the disk as an excuse. Would be nice to review this drive in a year as reliability is my main concern.

like the software included for easy backup
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally purchased for additional storage of arlo2. Unfortunately Arlo doesn't mention hd only allow maximum of 2 TB since they use only fat32 design. Thought I might use with Terk Digital Tuner to dvr save tv programs but unit draws too much power through tuner and unable to use. Just using as additional backup for pc with the Seagate 2TB and 8TB. Now have 4TB which may also use to save other files.
