I have a lot of external drives and these ones seemed like a bargain but it’s not wise to trust them. Now I’ve had 2 fail on me when they are less that a year old.

There really isn’t a whole lot to say about this product. It connects to my computer just fine and holds the files that I stored on it. That’s about all I can ask from it and it preformed the tasks well.

Bought this to replace one that was 7 years old. Reformat to Mac and works perfectly.

This is the silver version which I thought might match my MacBook Pro but it doesn’t really as it has a slight blue cast to it. This doesn’t worry me though as I didn’t buy it as a matching accessory. I bought it because I have a camera which produces 50mb RAW files and 10mb jpegs. So I wanted plenty of capacity, which this has by the bucket load. My preference was for a 4TB disk as I have read bad press on the 3Tb ones in general, not specifically from WD. I also have an older 2TB version in blue which is looking worn after 2 years of abuse in my bag but I didn’t notice this until I put the new one alongside, so I have the same expectations of this one. They are both sturdy looking units and the metal casing on all but the base makes these a must have if you need your portable drive to be rugged. I can’t fault the performance, with a USB 3 connection it zips through file transfers pretty quickly. Not quite as quick as my thunderbolt drive but out on the road speed isn’t really my priority, reliability is. If this unit is as reliable as my 2tb one I will be very very happy.

I ordered several of these.. including 3 I believe, from B&H.. I use these HDs for archiving files. They get very little use, and just sit in a dry, cool place, and I have seen most of these fail on me. None of them mount quickly. I have to wait several minutes while the light is flashing, but no HD is appearing on my desktop. I have all of these formatted for my Mac BTW.. They should mount faster than that. Most of them have slowed waaaaaaaay down in their ability to upload data, by at least 50% slower if not 90% in some.. than the HDs that I replaced these with, which are the: WD 4TB My Passport USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive (2019, Sky) -those are much better, they are fast, retain their speed, mount quickly.. I have them formatted the same exact way, and I just want to transfer all the data from the old ones, and smash them with a hammer, which would be very satisfying..! Crap…! These are absolutely crap..!

I use this drive to backup my notebook PC. It is quiet, fast, easy to use, and works great. The build quality is outstanding.
Katrine Bayer (verified owner) –
I purchased this for use as a Time Machine for my new Mac Studio. I chose it because of good experiences with other WD drives, the USB-C connection, and it’s being formatted for the Mac. Installation was effortless, the drive seems fast enough, and after two weeks, it is working well.

I can’t believe that this product is so compact, it performs well and the write speeds are great.

I’ve been buying Verbatim DVD+R discs for years and they are always a great price and great quality. No coasters here…

I have four of these and use them mostly for running continuous backups of the computers in the house. The software that comes with them works well and gets the job done. Also, when I travel, I’ll transfer all of my raw images onto one of these drives as a backup to what is on my notebook so I have two copies to bring home.

I needed to replace a 1 TB standard drive, and the tech has produced portables with expanded capacity. The USB is not as fast, but its light, compact, and does the job.

Excellent for HD video editing

I used this 2TB hard drive for data transfer and storage, and it is very good. The 3.0 transfer rate is fast, more than twice as fast than when 2.0 storage devices are used. Connectors for cable fit tight. It’s also fast in retrieving stored data. I’m sure I will purchase another.

We have a whole library of these backups which help us to save and retrieve files for digital prints
