i'm an it professional and i use this disk for several things. (read below)i think this is the best value for your money as a backup disk. it's not the best because that would be getting a docking station and an internal disk that way you know 100% what type of disk is in the inside.Also it has a usb-c port instead of regular usb-a port or mini or what ever. That's the best connection you can get for something you are going to be connecting and disconnecting a lot. in fact i just returned a different version of this disk because id did not have usb-c .. And before you ask yes you can use a usb-c to usb-a cable and adapter without any problems. it's 100% compatible with all operating systems And performance is way better then non usb-3 spinning disks.I use this disk to backup my nvme 970 pro in all my laptops. And the two 970pro's i use as fast external storage.. That's write i have several external backup disks. This physical spinning rust disk or mechanical hard drive is only for home use as a bulk backup or when i need to transfer large files like movies to watch somewhere in house. The benefit is i don't have to care about wearing out my SSD.in my case not a real problem as i use MLC ssd's instead of TLC or even QLC. But still i am paranoid when it comes to storage.i have partitioned the disk and use different filesystem types for different operating systems.exFAT if i need to read/write on windows and Linux and macos. And a ext4 partition to only use on Linux. i like to use native filesystems when i do a lot of read/write on a partition. Most if not all the times where i need to access a partition on different operating systems it's small data like documents. The least discriminating operating system is Linux that's what i use to format and partition all my disks using Gparted. But i suppose you can do that on windows ?

It stopped working after 30min, but that was enough to ruin hundreds of pictures and important documents I had.I tried all fixes - seriously all of them.Nothing can get any of my 3 laptops to recognize this external HD.Worse than losing money was losing memories, documents, and part of my comics collection.And the worst of all is that I'm a tech savvy person and couldn't save this External HD - it is just a bad product.

I had other hd's then wd also , then I noticed wd is faster, form then on I always buy wd

No hay problemas, nunca los hay, con los discos duros WD. Tengo varios, de diferentes capacidades, tanto SSD como HDD, y jamás me han dado un problema. En este caso, lo mismo. Se trata de un disco duro que funciona con la rapidez que preveíamos, que no da problemas y que tampoco es demasiado grande: aunque lo uso enchufado directamente al ordenador de sobremesa y no lo saco de casa, no habría problema para transportalo con un portátil, por ejemplo.lMuy recomendable, pues es un producto de alta calidad a un precio ajustado.

Ürün güzel de Şifreyi yazdığım halde girmedi Ona canım sıkıldı yoksa ürün gayet güzel 2014 tede bunun 2 TB olanından aldım

長期保存データを入れるため今回信頼できるこちらのメーカーにしました、HDDですが書き込み速度も速くSSDでなくてもなんら問題ありません、重さはそれなりにありますが持ち歩くわけではないのでコンパクトでとても良いです。セキュリティーソフトも使えて安心。よい買い物ができました。

Aunque el espacio real del disco son como 4.5 Tb sigue siendo muy util y practico, la informacion pasa muy agil entre mi PC y el WD, el conector usb C que viene incluido se siente de calidad tambien, hace un poco de ruido y se calienta un poco cuando pasas mucha informacion pero eso para mi no es problema
