    I got this for my mother so she could back up her photos and everything else on her iMac. It worked perfectly with Time Machine. Easy to use. Seems pretty solid. Fast. I recommend it.

    I am a youtuber and need more space on my computer to be able to upload content. This is the best thing I could have ever bought. I have had no issues, and it was easy to install and start using.

    I just started using this drive so I don't know how it will hold up in the long run but it has been great so far. It is nice to have 4TB of storage in such a small and portable package. I only wish that the casing was aluminum. That is the only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. But for costing just over $100 for a 4TB drive you really can't go wrong.

    split it into two volumes for use with my Mac with Macs disk utility- half for time machine backup of the internal drive and half for the music library. Foolproof. Runs great. We’ll see about long term reliability but good so far.

    Only buying a new WD external HD because I’ve filled my other ones. I’ve been very happy with these in general for storing photos & videos. I would have lost all my photos due to a computer crash. Now I make it a habit to back them up here right away. As for video I put all of them on this before I edit so not to slow down my computer. You do have to be gentle with them ( or keep in a padded case or draw when your not using). I have a Mac and found directions for formatting for Mac online really easy.
