I have 8 of these and use them for storage and backup. Dating back 8 or 9 years, never had a failure or problem from any of them. Much better than other brands.

Works great, only issue I have is it had a special wire that plugs into it so you would have to go through the company to get a replacement.

Everything as advertised, easy setup, small footprint, pretty quick transfer rate. With a sale price, took some of the sting out of having to replace two older drives that were no longer safe if connected to the internet.

Very good product. I am using it as a backup drive which will taken offsite and stored in a safe deposit box. It is small and light and doesn't take up much room in the box. It is fast enough to pull data at about half of the maximum SATA speed (much faster that an inexpensive SSD when receiving a large amount of data). I run the backup every two weeks or so, so I'm not worried about the drive longevity.

4TB for this price is pretty great. It easily connects to other computers, including both PC and Mac, and even phones if you have the right adapter. Only thing I would complain about is that after connecting to a Mac and going to a PC, the drive has to fix itself, only takes a minute but its still a small problem. I have been through one already since the hard drive just stop working, there was a big scratch noise coming from it and I lost everything. Just make sure to be careful around it, throwing it in a backpack and carrying it around all day might be an issue, just be careful.

Great drive. Capacity is large enough. Price ratio vs. capacity made it easy decision. I use it for backup of all of my work files history (over 25 years worth of MS Office and CAD files). Irreplaceable.

Great for portable backups or for digital hoarders on the go! Worked great between different laptops (and phones with dongles) and worked super fast.
Data cable could be longer, but, was long enough to get it connected and out of the way.

love it! no issues so far and I can keep everything on one drive.
WD knows how to make a portable drive and I'm enjoying this one ... no issues so far and it does what it is supposed to do.
Recommend the case as it is easy to ding it up without.

Bought to extend the capacity of our PS4.
Works flawlessly for that purpose.
We had swapped the original 500 GB drive for a 2 TB a few years ago.
Now we run that plus this 4 TB drive externally.
Easy upgrade.
