We take while we have. Pros: WD always makes quality hard drives, unlike Seagate. It has a large capacity, a fast USB 3 interface, it is detected from the first time on all computers, TV boxes, connected - and use it! Different cons: Black only. The color palette could have been more varied to distinguish the discs from each other.

It works quietly, you just can't hear it. I bought for the Xbox Series S, the prefix immediately detects and offers to format it for games and applications, or for multimedia. Copy speed (transferred the game 76GB in 15 minutes) from 900mb/s to 960mb/s. It's just awesome!

I took it for ps4, everything is fine, from the minuses it is minus the volume after formatting, 3.68tb out of 4tb left! Tested launching MK11 from the console 43 seconds, from the hard drive 29 seconds It is also convenient that the games are immediately installed on the hard drive! There will be no need to transfer.

Second-rate product, won't buy it again.

When buying a 4 TB disk, it turned out that in fact the hard disk is 400 GB less, that is, the disk volume is 3600 GB in the end. You understand how much it costs 400 hdd disk format 2.5.

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

10-year anniversary compact disc. For one's own private usage. I have not come across anything that is superior, despite the fact that I do not make use of any. 3.63 terabytes, WD, and a password is required to access the disk. That pretty about sums it up. In addition, a large number of blooms. Keeping track of your finances, photos and videos, personal information, and passwords. The year 2022 marks the beginning of operations for these. The hulls have not been modified in any way. They…

Pros
  • Works, Price, WD, and Password are all included. Quick delivery at a location that is close to the residence.
Cons
  • For me, no. Since last summer, the clouds have been unsupported according to reasons provided by the manufacturer; for me, this is a matter of dignity. When you upload content to the cloud, what should you use for a password? Do not make use of. When I attempted to set a password and install WD Security on all ten disks of this model, the disks laughed at me. I had purchased some of them on Ya.Market and others from other stores. Subdued.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I bought it to store a family photo and video archive, downloaded 200 GB and put it on the shelf. The main thing is to live long. It's hard to say in terms of speed, it took 30-40 GB to load for a long time, as it seemed to me, but on the whole I'm satisfied.

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

I have had it for almost a month now, and I have not heard any complaints about its performance (I was able to get it for 2900 dollars). With its positives being: Your computer's capabilities have a direct bearing on the rate at which files can be downloaded. 30-80 MB per second, which is rather wonderful It is quite compact and may be stored in the pocket of a garment. Its cons: If the location is a significant factor, I would recommend a storage capacity of less than 900 gigabytes and no more

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

A helpful approach that is limited to the archiving process only. You can stream movies directly to a TV if you connect it to one. Pros: A good read and write speed can be expected (testing can be viewed here), given that the rotation speed is 4800 RPM. During the writing of 300 GB, it increased in temperature from 31 degrees Celsius to 41 degrees Celsius, and then it stopped heating up (the room temperature was 22 degrees Celsius). case in point Below are some downsides: Too few twists and…

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

The benefits of it include: The disk operates really swiftly and completely lives up to the expectations set by its specs. The packaging is nice, and the items have all arrived in pristine shape. With its drawbacks: In general, the product is consistent with the description, and we did not come across any flaws.

I already use more than one disk, everything is very good and I don’t know any problems with these disks Different pros: Good assembly, I took photos for the archive, so that's it! Reliability! Some cons: Of course, you can increase the speed of reading and writing, but this disk is not for speed)

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

Took on the stock, for this price it was better not to find Got pros: Very compact + not bad design. Included softinka from wd also pleased. Its cons: I expected that the speed would be higher, but in principle it is not critical for my tasks

Everything is ok with my previous disk (4TB black). For the third year I have been plowing and working with large volumes. And this one is red, after 11 months it was covered out of the blue. Although the disk was a backup, I poured materials onto it a couple of times. Under the guarantee, of course, they will not take it because of the :( I wouldn't take it next time

Pros
  • 4tb and price,
Cons
  • Quality ,

I will offer you some advice: at work, I keep one disk as an archive, and I only access it once every three to four months. Another one is the same, and I have been carrying it with me and making consistent use of it for over half a year now. Doesn't get extremely hot.

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

Pros: Elegant design, quick connections, great quality, nothing crunches, tiny size, and light weight. Cons: The proprietary program failed to launch, reported a fault, and took no further action because it did not reorder or overload.

Excellent product, the best quality.

Some pros: Small, handy and nimble. I got up and decided. Everything is good with him. Works so far, no errors. We continue to observe. Has cons: For some reason, after connecting, another disk appeared in the system, which I can’t remove in any way. Wrote in support. Waiting for an answer.

What did I pay for? This product is a failure.

a complete disappointment, not a drive. It keeps turning off every few minutes. Old WD drives still work like clockwork, but this one is just rubbish. At first I sinned that there was not enough power on the front panel usb connectors, but with the rear panel connectors (where another disk is connected and works fine) the same story - it just disconnects and reconnects. Nonsense. I do not advise to take, thrown out money

Pros
  • Cute
Cons
  • Constantly disconnecting and connecting
