    I wasn’t exactly sure what I needed. I explained what I thought I needed to your sales representatives . He was very thorough, patient, and professional as he questioned me to better understand. He considered my options and explained each so I could determine the best option for my needs. He also took time to listen to my desire for a future purchase and discussed and explained those choices, as well.

    love how small 4tb of storage is now. It isn't super light, but I that really doesn't bother me as I keep it in my office to download large files I don't want to keep in a cloud account. Great price as well.

    The transfer speeds are pretty good and it only comes with one packaged software, giving you the flexibility to structure backups and syncs how you want to without having to first remove a bunch of unneeded software.

    This hard drive was simple to use. Unpack to drive from the box, connect the cord, and, voila, you have a harddrive to run the time capsule as a backup for your computer. This 4TB will be great for me for several years.

    Great little USB-C-powered device for the MacOs. I am using a Mac Pro and this little device is my Time Machine backup device. Easy to setup and use, just plug it into the Mac and setup Time Machine.

    As a blogger I tend to take a lot of photos and I was constantly running out of space so I decided to upgrade. This 4TB so far has not failed me and it has space for all my video and pictures.

    Not up to previous WD Standards.

    This particular drive started out awesome, then it started getting hot and making a funny noise during use, It lasted almost a year before taking a considerable amount of time to pull data from the drive. In fear it was going to fail permanently, I made haste at pulling all my data off and using a replacement drive. I have used WD products for many years and this is the second time I have had a potential crash problem, so I think it is possibly a fluke.

    Like it because it: is so easy to set up; is MAC-ready; can be set up and forgotten since it automatically backs up all files. Good for "non-techies" who just want something simple that works, without a huge learning curve.

    Easy to set up, I had a nice salesman who sold it to me, very helpful. Smaller profile than I thought, tho. If I remove anything from the backup, I have to log into it; any way I don't have to do that?
