Review: Need reliable storage? this is the one ya need - This is one of the best Hard drives I have ever used. Works right out of the box upon getting them new. Plug-in, do stuff. done for something that is not over $110. Not a lot of lag. Doesn't require an external AC adaptor to power it on, saving you an outlet thanks to it being a portable that only needs to be power via a single USB hook up. Also there is a lot of space on the unit despite some of it dedicated to keeping the drive to work with those 4TBs. But ya still need to know your stuff if ya need to get your non-partitioned unit to work. If ya are getting it non-partitioned, I wouldn't pay no more than $60 USD tops for such.
Review: Works great - Pros: + I been buying a few of the WD 4TB external USB 3.0 hard drives + Reliable, ~80mb-100mb read/writes + Plug and play, auto detected + Price, WD put a this product in a really sweet price point making it somewhat affordable for the size + Available colors, there are so many colors to choose from vs other brands/vendors Cons: - It can get expensive off sale - Older models have slower transfer rates, slightly and higher failure rates. 1/10 failed prematurely. - LED light facing the plug side which are usually the opposite side when you want to know if there's any activity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product!
*by J***Y on July 5, 2025*

I use over 20 WD external/portable and desktop external hard drives to store my music collection which, as of July 4, 2025 totaled over 16 TB of mostly blues and rock 'n' roll artists from all over the world since the birth of recorded music over 100 years ago. WD products have never failed me yet, but they have to be stored properly and kept away from dust, excessive heat/cold, etc. My music keeps me sane, happy, chill and far removed from negative social influences.
