    Works great, easy setup. My only disapointment is its not usb-c. Its usb-a to usb micro3.0B. I thought usb-c is a faster cable and way more universal but seems most all the hard drives come woth this cable. I have not seen this cable since the samsung galaxy note 3! :-D

    as always i have no regrets on the WD hard drives.. my only complaint is with ALL WD drives, you dont get what is advertised... says 5 TB... you get 4.5 TB... i would just rather them be honest then lie about the size... same with the 4 TB Drives
