I had problems using it as an external Drive.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had some problems using it as an external storage drive. After half full the drive started making clicking sounds so I immediately removed all of my stored programs, and ran the WD utility to no avail. Out of Best Buy Warranty, I returned it to WD for repair.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendTerrible performance and copies hanging randomly
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Something is wrong with this model. I hope it's a one off and I am yet to try luck with support but this disk has had terrible performance. I've used twice for backup and when I am to restore close to 1 TB of data it's impossible. The copies get stuck all the time, I have tried different computers and it's the same thing. When checking the smart on the disk it says I'd perfect, but clearly it's far from it.
