    Used the WD external drives as part of my RAID1 raspberry pi NAS build. Work great. Fast enough. Never had a problem. I have two.

    This is my third WD external drive. Absolutely necessary for sensitive data storage. Genealogy research is irreplaceable. Twenty five years can’t be stored on unreliable devices.

    This is second WD ULTRA I have purchased. Currently have the 2 TB version. Installed it with no effort, on lines in a matter of minutes. Currently have backup with no problems. I might also add I had no problems with my first WD and I have no reason to think I will have any problems with my latest WD Ultra.

    Large amount of storage, and helpful that it comes with an adapter for USB ports. Not as sturdy feeling as I’d hoped, but so far has worked sufficiently.

    This is a durable harddrive that can be carried with you. Tough and small, and writes very quickly. Note - you need a USB-c port or adapter for this to work.

    I’ve needed to backup my laptop for a while but didn’t know how. This was so so easy to set up and backup! I was able to finish everything in minutes. I’m now going to backup every Sunday night - in minutes. Easy! Breath of fresh air!
