Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good drive that can be partitioned For different needs.

You can never have too many backup. Mine was black.

This is definitely NOT a "plug & play" device for Mac users. It involves downloading third party software, and then booting up the Mac in Recovery mode, and eliminating some of Apple's security functions on the Mac, so the third party software can add file extensions to the Mac's files. Not only is this a big pain in the butt, but it makes me uneasy. I've had problems associated with applications adding extensions to my files in the past. This external hard drive may work well for Windows users, I don't know, but I would not recommend it for Mac. I'm going to return it. And then I'll have to figure out how to uninstall the stuff it added to my hard drive...

It worked great for a little over a year. Exactly as you would expect a removeable HD to do. Then one day while copying a file from the removeable HD back to my laptop, my computer popped up "USB device not recognized". Now I can't access it at all. when I plug it in, the HDD spins up, and the working light comes on, but my computer just says "USB device not recognized". I fear my data is lost, and unlike some removeable HD, you can't replace the USB to SATA controller. I doubt I'll EVER buy another WD external drive again.

The drive does not have rubber grippy feet on the bottom. Constantly worried is going to fall on to the floor.

I am having trouble backing up my computer. I did a 'mirror' when I initially did the backup, now my computer doesn't recognize this drive.

Works as needed just kind of a slow copy speed! I returned it because it took 3hrs to copy a 1tb over.

I had high hopes for this one but ultimately due to worse speeds and throttling than their My Book series, this was returned. If you just need a backup, this will do the trick but if you want something you can regularly make use of, then you would be better off with a cheap SSD or more premium full size 3.5" SATA drive.

Really cheap broke easily would recommend using if a DJ

Piece of Junk quit working properly after maybe a year. Sometimes the computer recognizes it and it starts up and most of the time it doesn't. I don't have this issue on much older drives.

Hard to connect to MacBook. Hoped it would be easier

Doesn’t work for Xbox x game system. Best Buy rep recommended this to me. Not a good buy.

Transferred all my photos to this drive and a week later it failed lost a years worth of photos. Bought a 2nd one and that one failed also, No more Western Digital.

This drive failed on day 2. I would like to return and get money back or a credit. Please help….

The Unit worked for 48 hours, was 50% filled and then died. what a waste of time.

A good source to store pictures, easy to setup and use.

Didn’t work - tried everything and Nothing — I’ll be returning it

This is slow and very hard to setup. I am disappointed in the device.

Still Isn’t working copied one file and can’t return because it is classified data
