    Excellent hard drive. I formatted the drive comparable with Apple computers, got rid of the onboard management software because I deemed it useless, in fact somewhat if a headache. I need the hard drive for storage, not as a funky flunky device to impress myself.

    Light, USB-powered, easy to use. Slow seek+transfer speeds compared to powered units. I love these drives, but it's hard to edit video direct from the drive because of its slowness. (RAM buffering makes it a lot better, but it's still a bit choppy.)

    Perfect so far. This replaced an older, smaller capacity WD drive. It was easy to order, fairly priced, and no problems picking it up. Just plugged it in and it worked as expected. We now have greatly expanded on line storage.

    The hard drive works just fine. Being a WD product, I had high hopes and my hopes were matched swimmingly. 5tb of storage space for $130 with taxes included? Sold. Easy store accessibility with hardware encryption at no extra cost? Bonus.

    This has been an excellent purchase. I’ve waited to do a review simply to see if it had a failure. It’s ridden in my back pack to work and to recreation. It holds my 3D print files. Outstanding stability
