    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.

    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.

    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.)
