Hard drive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent hard drive, honestly no problem with it.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat portable drive with only one concern
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

I would recommend this to a friendTerrible Hard drive for MacOS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 would recommend this to a friendIncluded cable is useless
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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".
