It is attached to my Dish Hopper and it works as expected

I bought the six T which is supposed to hold my life's worth of pics and

This was a Christmas gift and is working exactly as expected.

I'm retired and can't afford such an

It provides smooth transfer of files between the storage and the applications on my computer

Has a much faster transfer speed (USB 3.0) and 4 times the storage capacity than what I had previously owned.

Lots of space, super quick access time, excellent transfer speed, and built in compression makes for a great storage device.

I transferred 250GB to it shortly after plugging it in and the transfer was fast and smooth.

The setup is incredibly easy and your overall performance will more than likely be boosted because of the extra storage.

Very easy setup you just simply plug it into your system.

Setup was easy and I was able to set it so games download directly to it

Unlike my previous WD HD this setup was confusing

Setup was easy and adds a lot of extra storage space fir your PC or laptop

I have more than enough space for all the downloaded games for my Wii U. Great buy for anybody looking for some extra storage

I used this as storage for a Wii U for virtual console library, super easy to set up.

It had seemed a good buy for the price and the amount of space on it, but now I've lost some valuable data

Best Buy took it apart and discovered there was no retrieving the pictures they were lost forever.

Awesome buy for the price, great external drive for my son's xbox one.

the perfect storage device for my Xbox One, just set it up to the device and make it default

Great storage for great hard drive, but it has not been used much yet.

This has been a very reliable storage device for my Xbox one

This external drive provides reliable storage for your media

I bought three of these on sale, 2 for redundant storage and one for my xbox one

All in all, it worked as advertised just past the warranty.

I thought let me check disk management...and it's not there either...searched online and discovered many people had this issue with no solid response from WD, the only way is to unplug > plug again for it to work as there is no on/off button as the older models

Working with iMac as advertised/no issues.

They have been by and large dependable and work as advertised.

(1) at three feet, the USB cord is pretty short for a standard desktop setup; (2) you are stuck with WD's 3-foot USB cord because it is a directional "USB 3.0 A to micro B cable" (as opposed to a standard USB A male-to-male cable), so if you want a longer USB cord, be sure to order this type ahead of time; (3) a BIG surprise...when directly using the WD backup software, Windows 10 won't allow you to backup a System Image of your computer, which is a critical restore drive D: (4) if you want System Image backups you will need to disable the backup feature on

Easy enough to install and a good deal for the storage.

Great deal to store all of our home movies once they are converted.

4TB has left me with no concern over storage space so I can greedily download all of the Games with Gold titles each month as well as have every purchased game in my collection on the hard drive with tons of extra space.

I use this for my xbox one and i will say you're probably not going to find a better deal than this one

They have a warrantee, which I tend to get cynical about - and I hate dealing with mailing stuff back.

I have more than enough space for all the downloaded games for my Wii U. Great buy for anybody looking for some extra storage

It was so easy to install and he loves the extra storage space.

Very easy to connect, the Xbox recognized it right away and now he has more than enough storage space for all of his games.

It was here on time, sleek, great space, easy installation.

The one downside to all these digital copies is the space they take up on the Xbox One hard drive.

Kids are using it as an expansion drive for their XboxOne and it is working great since Xmas 2015

This is a great work horse,and can spare your computer drive much wear n tear

The one that is running has had 3 firmware updates and it is barely working very slow not at usb 3.0 speeds

We tried every trick with the BIOS, but none worked except "Removing USB Security" which bricks the machine, no keyboard, no mouse

has worked great for my xbox one so far, no issues at all.

Excellent speed with USB 3.Comes with a pretty good encryption program

Not sure on longevity but the speed for transferring things is awesome nice and fast

The speeds are pretty solid, and so far, no hard drive failures

cannot beat it for the price..$ excellent value, mass storage..plug and play super fast speed.

I love my hard drive for more memory now i can download more things on my

I lost too many things in the past from system crashes.

Only thing i dont like is that it requires its own power supply

Only bad thing is that the actual size is 3.63TB so it is not even a full TB bigger than my 3TB drives.

I realize this is a good thing as it spins down to save life of the hard drive as well as electricity, it's just annoying have to wait for it to spin up sometimes

This is an annoying an antiquated filing system that is used on most of the hard drives available

After using this product for a few years on my Xbox One, a few days ago it just stopped working randomly

Haven't had any performance issues, though all three are primarily used for infrequently-accessed files

I hooked this up to my Xbox One and it is the fastest External HD I've ever used

I stated that the design was extremely poor (I think the term moronic was used) and said that any external USB drive that was intended to be used for backing up a computer needed to automatically wake from sleep when the computer wakes or when the backup software initiates the backup.

Having recently suffered a computer crash that was near catastrophic, I wanted to make sure my data would be protected.

4TB has left me with no concern over storage space so I can greedily download all of the Games with Gold titles each month as well as have every purchased game in my collection on the hard drive with tons of extra space.

I thought let me check disk management...and it's not there either...searched online and discovered many people had this issue with no solid response from WD, the only way is to unplug > plug again for it to work as there is no on/off button as the older models

I wanted to post this to help others who may have encountered the sleep/wake problem with this device as well as those that may be contemplating buying this and should be aware of the issue up front.

Unfortunately, my hard drive crashed earlier this year and I lost a ton of personal data and I don't wish to go through that again.

More importantly, I lost data twice and recovery of data is very expensive

and they said I would have to pay to try to recover the data.

All data is readable without the WD drive controller as it was with the WD drive controller.

All my data totally lost and also get terrible experience today

I lost all my data since I didn't back it up in time which is just a little over 2 months.

The backup software is easy to use and it is also easy to verify that the backup files are present and usable.

The only problem and the MAJOR floor in the hard drive is the software

Apple's newer software updates like Capitan make it so that you must either reformat the hard drive or download third party software to use the external hard drive

This hard drive is very fast, reliable and comes with great backup software.

It works quietly, and i like it, but i didn't like the proprietary software that it did not recognize my old external drive.

I had another drive die 245 hours into owning it and lost my life's work

Yes ""15"" long hard slowpoke hours compared to 3 hours

Great Hard drive use other for my Wii U

I used this as storage for a Wii U for virtual console library, super easy to set up.

Works with my wii u perfectly

I got this to upload my files to from my 2TB hard drive

This 4TB hard drive was an inexpensive and long term solution to this problem

I have an older 2TB external from WD, a 2TB my passport (small portable HD), and an old Seagate external HD, and by far this is the slowest piece of junk compared to my other HD's

Great price on a 4TB backup hard drive, and I purchased the 9.99 2 year recovery policy

It is basically a external Western digital 2TB running at 7200 ROMs,lot faster speeds with USB 3 but backwards compatible to USB 2.it makes a perfect cloud for your backups and evething you don't want to lose

The drive wasn't used many times, but will no longer work

This particular drive has failed several times and I have to rewrite over it from the beginning with Time Machine Backup

Long time WD fan, no issues, supplied software is pretty nice for auto backups.

they just sat there and each time, they both stopped working.

This particular drive died recently (first time I've ever had a WD drive die, and I own 9 3 TB drives)

I bought the six T which is supposed to hold my life's worth of pics and

Had this hard drive about 4 months and it has shot craps.

Then 2 months after the 2-year warranty expired, it died.

I bought it the 28th of September and it died about 2 months in

Ordered about 3 months and everything worked fine on my xbox one

So why not just advertise it for what it is, a 5.6TB hard drive?

Bought this a while ago as an external hard drive for my Xbox One

Great for use with the Xbox One as an external hard drive.

Overall would recommend to anyone looking for a good external hard drive.

I use this as an external hard drive for my Xbox One and it works like a charm

Be careful when you plan to take out hard disk from this enclosure

I don't know how to recover my 6 TB hard disk with data loss

I don't know how to recover my 6 TB hard disk with data loss

so have a lot of high-res photos that take up a lot of hard disk space).

Excellent product, is very fast and elegant, also has cloud service and hard disk protection by password, I recommend

Usually it's just a few bad sectors which can be repaired or avoided with available utilities pending replacement with a new drive

I still get disk errors and there are no new bad sectors after testing time after time after time

I bought the six T which is supposed to hold my life's worth of pics and

Drive is shutting down randomly and WD drive utilities is showing bad sectors, it's only 6 months old

I tried WD recovery software for PC but even the extended test could not repair bad sectors of the drive

Wasting power, creating noise, delaying the opening of certain applications and causing useless ware of the drive.

The noise the HDD made always made me nervous it was going

Whether a sign of a defect or by design, noise is intolerable.

My only complaint is that I heard some weird noise when I first hooked it up which is unusual for a

but the hardrive makes this super annoying noise otherwise great hard
