    These external hard drives don't last that long. You gotta just keep everything backed up. Something will go wrong eventually.

    Very good. Needs to be partitioned. Runs a tiny bit warm but poses no threat. So far so good

    This is not the first and won't probably be the last of these I buy. Works like a champ the only concern I have is that the standard connector is USB C to USB C and, while it comes with a USB C to USB A adaptor, it is an adaptor and you're out of luck without a C port on your computer and no adaptor...don't loose it and this is a great tool!

    Terrible Hard drive for MacOS

    This western digital drive, although formatted with HFS+ from the beginning, failed on me within a matter of weeks with very minimal use. I had barely used a terabyte of the four total terabytes within this drive, and now it won't show up on my desktop or in Disk Utility. Big no go for mac users. Buyer beware.

    I have had this drive for a little over a year. I'm a photographer, so I have thousands of photos on this thing. This is probably my 5th external hard drive in my career. All of a sudden, the drive will not be recognized on any computer. I have tried changing the cord, using different computers, using the WD software. Nothing. A year's work is gone and I will have to pay someone to try and retrieve it. I won't be purchasing this brand again. I'm heartbroken. Make sure you are backing up your backups!

    This hard-drive is okay, however I would recommend purchasing the apple one for apple products.

    Included cable is useless

    Seems robust and well made, similar to other WD products. I owned several WD HDDs over the years and never experienced a problem. The old WD HDDs still work. I bought this one solely because of the USB-C connection. I wanted to plug it in my computer without using adaptors. It was very disappointing that the included USB-C cable was bad. The connections did not fit in the USB-C ports on my computer or in the HDD. I had to spend and extra $20 on a new cable. This is the reason for 3 stars, for not recommending to a friend, and only one star for "value".
