    I have had the Disk for almost 3 years without any issues. The Disk is almost silent and reaches the promised speeds. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it goes into sleep mode, which unfortunately cannot be disabled, resulting in significant delays when trying to reuse the system.

    I bought it without a second thought. It is fast and generally good. It just has one huge disadvantage. One day, while using it after six months of purchase, the computer suddenly stopped reading it. I went to stores and they told me it cannot be fixed. Unfortunately, I had lost the receipt with the warranty, so I couldn't do anything. I will never buy hard drives with power. With a voltage change, everything gets lost.

    It was purchased in 2014 for 125 Euros (3 TB). It is relatively noisy but fast in speeds. It shut down 2 days ago, I had filled about 2/3 TB, it is an average purchase, I would not recommend this particular model

    I have had it for about one and a half years, operating for approximately 10 hours (I had done 2 backups) and the rest of the time it was on the shelf. Yesterday, when I plugged it into the computer, it suddenly froze and the HD Sentinel gave an error message because it had a problem. Fortunately, I had it for backup and didn't lose anything. Unfortunately, as time goes on, WD drives are losing reliability

    I have had it for a year with continuous operation issue to have been out of power for hours.
    It doesn't make noise or heat up.
    I am thinking of getting another one because it is full.
    In one and a half years, it played games. I had prepared for a backup and as soon as I put it on the computer, it never turned on.

    Awesome tough for backup.

    I got 2 of them when their price was at 180 euros, now that it has dropped it's the perfect choice.

    I've had them for 3 years and they haven't caused me any problems!

    Durable, fast, and with Western Digital warranty, I highly recommend them!

    With a capacity of 3TB, which is more than enough for most uses, and with a USB 3.0 interface for high speeds, this external backup/external storage unit will fully satisfy you. Western Digital is renowned for the reliability of its drives. I use it for backup and I am satisfied with both the capacity that is sufficient and surplus for backing up 3 PCs, and the speed in USB 3.0 ports.
