Terrible 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.

Included 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".

Fast and Good
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked it... Still need to be careful while handling, but over all is good. I use this for permanent backups and I store the disk in a safe place... but I already lost one of this guys just with regular use... one day it just stopped working... switching to SD is a better options... but $$$

Mmmmmmm...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far the cable is a little too sensible so basically you need to be working as static as you can.

Quit working after 1 year
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!
