I would recommend this to a friendNot as fast as we hoped
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use these drives for weekly data backup, alternating units from safe deposit box. Was hoping the USB-C drive to USB-C port on laptop would be significantly faster than USB 3, but do not really see a big difference. Have found SSD with type C much faster, but a lot more expensive and hard to find in 4TB or larger.

I would recommend this to a friend2nd WD external HD and still doesn't work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The drive is suppose to be a "plug-n-play" hard drive, but it doesn't work that way. Even after I use my password to access the drive, it will not allow me to save anything to the drive. I keep receiving "This is a read only drive". I've tried contacting WD customer service, and their response has been useless in resolving this problem. This is my 2nd drive because my first one had very similar issue. Geek Squad was great in determining my 1st drive was defective and replaced it with this drive end of Jan 2024. I'm taking this drive back to Geek Squad again to see if they can help me, but if not, then I'll return this drive and get my money back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Western Digital Team
Posted .Hi Robert, we are sorry for the inconvenience. We suggest that you try formatting the drive using a file system such as HFS+ Journaled. if you want to use the drive on macOS or use NTFS to use the drive on a Windows computer. If the problem persists, you may request for the replacement once again. Please refer to Answer ID: 8200(https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/8200/). Also, please know, the process is data destructive and cannot be undone, all the data on the drive will be lost!
