Excellent hard drive
This drive is the perfect addition to my system. It is quiet, quick, and massive - easily holding my iTunes library of music and movies, along with close to 2 decades worth of digital photos. About the best thing I can say about this drive is I like it so much that I plan to purchase another one.

Works great, except for out of box software
I had some trouble getting it to recognize the USB 3.0 controller on my laptop. After some trial and error I was able to set it up. The backup software that WD provides is trial version. They try to get you to upgrade after you buy the drive. I thought was disappointing having spent as much as I did on the external drive.

All the space you need!
I had a 3TB MyBook, just recently filled to capacity so I replaced it with this monster. 6TB for storage and 6TB for time machine backup. No issues yet but I bought the Best Buy warranty just in case
