Great storage and compact able to stand on its side with micro usb and power ports. Having over 5 TB on this device is fantastic.. I'm using it for my games on my Xbox One while portioning it with my computer programs and pictures. Quiet with quicker downloading and uploading speed

Had to contact Western Digital re startup. Needed to download software to get it to function. Only have it a short time. Using it to backup a backup. Took 36 hrs to download 1.6 gigabites of files using windows 10, a little bit slow.Re compactness-- It is approx 4 times the size of my passport, 2 terrabites. Approx 4"x4"x2" Not a problem.

I've ordered 4 of these and I'll swear by them. I've had Seagates and Toshibas fail on me, but never one of these. They plug and play right out of the box, and as long as you have them connected through a 3.0 USB port, you can get transfer speeds between 120 and 180 mb per second. Actual size is 5.45tb for a 6tb drive, which is normal for those of you who don't know. (In general, you can take off roughly 10% of any drive from any manufacturer.) They're reliable, quiet, efficient, and an absolute bargain. The only drawback is they're upright, which puts them in danger of tipping over if you bump the table or desk they're on... but that's easily avoidable by placing something on each side as a bookend of sorts. Additionally, you can pop the outer casing open, remove the drive, and pop it into your computer internally as well if you so choose. (I did that with 2 of them.) All things considered, if you're looking for external storage, you can't beat these regardless of what size drive you choose. Purchase with confidence.Read full review

I have this plugged into a cheaper TP-Link router for use as NAS storage, and it works great. It shuts itself off after ten minutes but it appears to have limited caching because you can still browse the directory tree as it wakes itself up. Super quiet, works wonderfully and has good speed.

This external hard drive works just fine. It came preformatted with the exFAT file system; I just had to reformat it to NTFS to make it more widely compatible with my systems, although for whatever reason Windows XP sees the drive but will not assign a drive letter to it for access (my older 6TB WD My Book works just fine with XP, also formatted with NTFS). So -1 point for that compatibility issue. Still, it works just fine with Linux (once it had the NTFS system) and Windows 7. Quiet drive and very good transfer speeds. This particular drive has no power/activity light, so when it's plugged in it still visually appears to be off (my older drive does have that light). It's good value for the money, even being refurbished, so as long as it remains reliable in the long term it's well worth it. The power supply comes with numerous different plugs so it can be used with electrical systems all around the world.Read full review
