I would recommend this to a friendA lemon from the get-go -- just terrible
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely, oddly slow and unresponsive. Searching for files saved to it would always be a time-consuming, frustrating, hit-or-miss experience. Well before the one-year mark, it suddenly became dismounted and irreparable. I had to spend $$$ to purchase an app that is now slowly trying to recover the files I've saved to it over the past year.

Not dependable
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a backup for a backup. I have 3 passports. 5T, 2T and another 1t. All had catastrophic failures. I ended having to send to a recovery my 5T and fortunately they recovered about 98% of data. Cost of recover was just shy of 1300.00 and a 15T MY book for another 200 plus. Apparently to recover you have to go this process. AllPassports were less than 1 to 3 years and per the experts expect these to last around 5 years. Positive: When the devices are operational they are easy to navigate and perform well.

Posted .Hello Robin, Please be informed that hard drives produce some noise when they work. The amount and kind of noise depend on what the hard drive is doing like reading or writing data. It's good to know which sounds are normal and which might mean there's a problem with the hard drive.

I would recommend this to a friendWont work with TV USB
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Will not work with TV usb since the format is not correct, if you change the format to mbr then you only get 2tb from it. Most TV's need the hard drive formatted to mbr to work. I do have it hooked to an android box and I can use it formatted to GBR and get the full 5tb. Still a good hard drive for WD.
