💻 Black WD My Book 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN Review

What's the use of buying an external hard drive to back up your files if it breaks after 20 months and you now have to pay a third party received your data? Then you write to the company and they conclude that the hard drive is not working properly because "something physical happened". The only physical thing that has happened to my hard drive is gravity. It's been on my desktop since September 2015. In the same place no bullying, no earthquakes, no hurricanes. Nothing. In April 2017 my iMac…

the 6TB hard drive that Revain sells is a $223 Caviar Green model. How/why could this external drive with enclosure, USB 3.0 interface, power adapter (12V @ 1.5A) and USB 3.0 cable be sold for $40 less than a mere hard drive? Are those extra mounting hardware worth minus $40? That makes you think that if anyone, anywhere, sold a 6TB drive in this thing as a "bare drive," it must have sold for around $150. Do not you think? I took a chance and ordered it on Saturday evening. This afternoon…

I bought this to enable Time Machine features on my Macs. I have a new Airport Extreme and am eyeing Apple's Time Capsule, but have my doubts about how much money they cost and that you can't expand their storage options. So I read something to find out that you can add a USB hard drive to the airport and get the same features. I've narrowed my search to USB 3.0 because many of my machines are connected to wired 1Gb/s Ethernet and I want fast backups. Well I'm not disappointed. When I back up…

This will be my last update and purchase of WD products. Although the support team was kind enough to provide me with a replacement MyBok 4TB, which is a dead unit, the new one has the exact same issue. It works great with files up to 70GB. Once you exceed that file size, the drive literally fails, the transfer rate simply drops to 0, and the computer can't recognize it, reconnect it, securely erase it, or even shut it down. I tried it on all three systems: Windows (7 and 10), Mac OS X and…

I bought this specifically to use as external storage for my Xbox One which was less than 10% available when they released the update to external storage in early June to allow in 2014. If you are considering this drive as an external drive for your Xbox One system, I assure you that it will do the job perfectly! When I plugged the drive into an available USB 3.0 port on the back of my Xbox One, Xbox One immediately recognized it as an external storage device and asked if I wanted to format the

Got this to download my files from my 2TB hard drive. So, like all my other hard drives, I started migrating my files. I have about 1.25 TB and it wouldn't let me copy any more files to it. When I checked the properties, all files passed were read-only. So I moved them back to my hard drive and formatted My Book to NTFS. It took me a whole day to finish the formatting. In the meantime I also formatted my old hard drive. After formatting I thought I'd try again before sending it back. When I…
