    This hard drive has been great so far. It's smaller than I expected, which is nice. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a portable hard drive with a lot of space.

    Face it, drives today are all the same. It is a 4TB HDD. It has a different design and is "new." Well always go for new, even a few months newer may mean updates system capacitors or other anomalies that have been fine tuned. I know it looks different with the funny design, but that's not why I got it. I like that is is the latest. I see they have different colors too, so that is neat. Keep the kids from fighting. The best thing is that it is powered by the PC, you do not need an AC outlet like with larger drives. Yipee.

    Needed a larger hard drive for my Xbox One X. This baby does the job just fine. The only reason for 4 stars is it is significantly louder than the other WD My Passport X I was using. I have to lay the drive on a pad to prevent it from vibrating my media center. Only slightly annoying, so its not a deal breaker.

    Took 43 hours to download 3.4 terabytes of pictures and data from four other external drives. Pleased with the accuracy and no longer needing to search through so many hard drives.

    First of all I love the color. I bought it to replace my seagate which I won’t go back to. I think WD is a better brand

    I was looking for some spare space to transfer a lot of old files(2GB) and ended up with more than I needed. It may sound bad but I know I'm going to use all the left over space.

    4TB enough space to hold mine and my girlfriend’s entire collection of photos and music plus backups of two old laptops, one old desktop pc and two old external drives. I love having all of our data in one place. We no longer have to look for and figure out what drive may or may not contain whatever data we are trying to locate.

    I have used WD drives for years and refuse to use anything else. For the cost per GB or TB, the 4GB size is really the best price point available, especially if it is on sale.
