  • Great External Backup
Capacity: 3TB Pattern: Hard Drive
My Apple AirPort went out on me and I didn't want to pay Apple's price. I didn't need the Wi-Fi part of the AirPort just the backup. So I found this hard drive. If I had a PC and not an Apple the installation might have been easier. But even with the instructions I was given, when I went to install nothing was like the instructions. But got it installed and it works great. ... show more

  • Works Great For Xbox One
Capacity: 3TB Pattern: Hard Drive
I bought this for my son's Xbox One because the games are so large that you use up the space you have very quickly. This allowed him to move the games to this external drive and free up space on the Xbox One itself. He thinks it runs faster because of that. He is thrilled he has so much space! It was very easy for him to set up, he just followed the directions on screen. ... show more

  • Five Stars
Capacity: 3TB Pattern: Hard Drive
Excellent drive. No problems so far in the couple of months I have had it. Update: Had the drive now for about 6 months. I use it as apart of my editing workstation as a place to archive files, use it to sync cloud files with drop box and Google and some programs that I do not want to run from my small SSD OS drive, I offload on this drive. Everything works great. While putting program files would probably be better served on an internal drive within the workstation, I can't say I have had any problems with programs like Powerdvd, Glary Utilities, CD Label Maker, etc. The only thing I notice is that VLC churns trying to play some of my uncompressed avi files - but I suspect that is more of an overall computing power than anything else. I would purchase another one without hesitation and I have over a half dozen different external hard drives. If I had only one complaint, I would say the "power" button on the back is finicky and not convenient. I can't seem to power it down quickly or efficiently so I usually unplug the USB cord or the power cord so I don't leave the drive on all the time. Other than that, no complaints!! ... show more

  • Decent for the price
Capacity: 3TB Pattern: Hard Drive
Works pretty well. I have it hooked up to a last generation Airport Extreme as a time machine backup. It works fairly well, but is a little slow.

  • XLNT for a Dish Wally DVR!
Capacity: 3TB Pattern: Hard Drive
After returning a Fantom drive (DOA) I got this Western Digital to be the dvr for my RV. The Wally is not very powerful, but this massive hard drive really adds muscle to the sytem. It was recognized immediately, I called to activate and, after a reboot, I could pause live TV - but could not yet record. Error message about "timer creation failed". What finally initialized this capability, I think, was going into dvr --> options --> manually create a timer, and then I just picked a channel number and a time - and it made its first recording. Worked from then on as it should. One big added benefit is the Wally can now download a huge amount of guide data. On its own you only see the current and next program. So highly recommended. ... show more

  • Great price, simple installation
Capacity: 3TB Pattern: Hard Drive
The item arrived in two days although I was expecting it in three. Super simple to install, just plug and play. The USB 3 speed is amazing and the price is great for 3T. Transferring 500G of my music library only took several hours. I contemplated the 4T HD for $30 more, but a drive of that size worries me (drive failure and having all of my eggs in one basket). After having my 2T hard drive fail recently (after 6 years), which contained my entire music library and a few movies, I don't want to have to go through the effort of rebuilding entire catalogs of this size (or larger) again. ... show more

  • It stores stuff. Well.
Capacity: 3TB Pattern: Hard Drive
On a scale of 1 to hard drive... it’s definitely a hard drive. I typically have 3-4 HDs plugged into various things in the home and I don’t read reviews or research, I just grab one from a company I’ve heard of that’s aesthetically pleasing. I have noticed my Seagates take a dirt nap long before the WDs so there you go. Also this one is shaped like a book so I might paint the end like the spine of a novel and shove it in a shelf like some sort of spy. ... show more

  • Perfect for consoles
Capacity: 3TB Pattern: Hard Drive
Works perfect with the Xbox Series X...I Have a 3TB external hard drive and had this one for about 6 months now and works perfectly fine... Had it for the Xbox 1 first then switched it to the series X smoothly and instantly... The major perfection about mines is that I still haven't heard a peep from my hard drive as it runs silently...Perfect for consoles but I can't help you on how it would work and run on a pc/laptop... ... show more
