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.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The drive has been unbearably slow and gets extremely fragmented. WD products are typically reliable, but this one has been an absolute nightmare. I will try to RMA, but that takes forever.

Posted .Hi JavonF, We are sorry for the inconvenience. Poor or slow speed can be caused by: host device port speed, format and file system, directory with lots of small files, deeply nested directory and etc. Please refer to the following link to learn more about common causes of slow external drive performance: https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/17047 If you still have any problems while creating the RMA you can open a support ticket at https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb.

Used/Broken hard drive before I even received i
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Item came to me not working. I tried hooking up to two xbox x and even my xbox one and would not show up under storage. Never had this happen before but had to return it as a damaged item. Wouldn't even give a 1 rating but there is no zero. Becareful could end up with used or broken, I know I did.

Junk product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the money spent. Unit crashed after 3 months and was replaced because I bought a replacement plan; but I did not purchase a replacement plan for the new one and it lasted about four months. Buy a WD product.
