    I know these hard drives work great! I had to return this one I think because it wasn’t allowing me to do a back up but I still recommend these. It’s worth having multiple back ups.

    Works great from my purpose. I wish it was slimmer as its clunky when used with my laptop.

    I have had three of these EHDs go bad. One failed completely, and I had to send it off to a forensic recovery specialist to retrieve files. Two others that I already had have since started to fail on me as well. Would NOT recommend these for any files that you don't want to lose access to. I have since switched to the Samsung T7 EHDs and they have proven much, MUCH more reliable.

    Purchased thisbto use for my steam deck and asusbrog when i dock them . Once thebrog ally release i set everything up plugged in thebdrive and got this clicking. Ran windows repair. Itvseemed to stop and finally find the drive. That lasted 10 seconds as it was lost again and clicked. Western Digital was great as the RMAed the device only note in waiting for the replacement as you have to send yours out before they send one back...

    Lots of storage space, which is good, but its starting to make a clicking noise, and I'm having trouble getting it to connect to my laptop. Not sure whats going on, and may need to return it after owning it for less than a month.
