    Decent hard drive. Software on the drive wouldn't install and I had to install from the manufacturers website.

    I think the external hard drive is OK but why didn't WD provide clear instructions on how to set it up with Windows 10? If it is set up to do the backup in the middle of the night the problem is that my computer goes to "sleep" after 30 minutes of inactivity but of course I don't want the back-up to take place while I'm in the middle of working with with my computer.

    I've bought WD external hard drives for years. But this My Passport 4TB was a complete failure from the start. Multiple PCs and laptops failed to even recognize it. Therefore, useless.

    I have a windows 10 PC and spent a lot of time with support trying to get the back-up program to work automatically. Basically, it will not recognize my photo files on windows. I have to manually copy the files from A to B which is OK, but not as advertised by WD. I hope there is an update that will fix this.
