Premium looking HDD, bang for buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great. This is my 3rd hard drive from WD. Very good in usage & excellent after sale services from WD regarding warranty. But these new version Hard Drives from WD are not supporting smart TVs, where as old versions used to work seamlessly.

A good hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive had several WD over the years, almost all of them still working. This drive continues that tradition. It's a little bit bigger than the drives under 4Tb. Not that I set out to do a drop test, but first thing out of the box it fell about 3 feet. Still worked and still does. The speed seems pretty good, as fast as many of my other drives, but then again the device is limited by my laptop that is at least 4 years old.

works good, good deal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went planning to get a smaller drive. When I saw this one for $100 I couldn't resist. WD is a reputable brand for hard drives. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again, even though it is way more space than I need right now.

Well.....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had Passports before with no issue, so after trying to unsuccessfully trying to set up a backup I called Western Digital. They finally said that sometimes the software can't recognize the unit. They offered an exchange. Best Buy won't do it because it was past their stingy 15 days. So I will mail it to WD for the exchange and try again.

Works so far so good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my replacement of WD - My Passport external HD. My first one was 2TB, but it only worked for 2 years before it failed completely. I lost all backup data, because I could not access the HD or even open it. I used it as a time machine to backup data. The new one is a similar model but 4TB. So far, it works well and hope it will keep working!
