    bought this product and like its predecessor, the 2TB it works great especially having the secure features which prevent anyone from opining the files. I only wish it had a time out when idle so it can self lock, but overall it is a god product

    Slow! Plastic built. Runs loudly. The noise makes me wonder how long it'll work. Although it ingests images soooo slowwwwww, it works! Therefore, I'm grateful! I only needed something inexpensive to back up images i already have backed up elsewhere. So, it serves it's purpose.

    I was looking to upgrade my PS4 hard drive but its expensive to upgrade the internal hard drive with any SSD drive over 1TB. So I was researching and found this drive. It accesses the games faster then the original drive which you need that for gaming!

    Bought this one for a family member who had maxed out his internal hard drive. The first thing I did was transfer a bunch of my drone videos onto the new drive. The progress ribbon just streaked across my screen. I may buy another one for ME!

    Used to organize backup of media files. Usually buy Seagate but Best Buy only stocked WD. Either gets the job done, but would appreciate the choice to eliminate the need for two different storage management applications.
