Works exactly as advertised, no special knowledge required.

Being used as a backup for our documents. Very satisfied with the product

I bought two WD 4 TB external HDDs many years ago. They've both been reliable workhorses. So when I needed to expand my storage to 6 TB HDDs, I bought them from WD, one blue, one black. WD's quality control has fallen. My new blue HDD works fine, but the black one had problems. It made loud clicking sounds. Not a good sign. The last time I had a new HDD (from Seagate) that clicked loudly, over 30 years ago, it suffered full mechanical failure within months. But the new black WD HDD wasn't just loudly clicking. My Lenovo laptop, running Windows 11, sometimes didn't recognize the HDD. If I unplugged the HDD from the laptop, then replugged it, then the laptop recognized it. This problem never showed up with the blue HDD, which never clicked. I copied over 2,900 MP4 files onto both of the new WD HDDs. I didn't use WD's copy program, as some reviewers had problems with it. I used Windows 11 Explorer to drag & drop the files. Later, I opened the files' folder on the black WD HDD. The MP4 files were listed. But when I clicked to watched one, my movie program said: File Not Found. I clicked several other MP4 files, but always received the message: File Not Found. I returned the black HDD (kept the blue one), and bought a third WD 6 TB HDD, a red one. Once again, when I began using it, it began loudly clicking. Bad sign. But I gave it a shot, copying my MP4 files onto it. I watched some of the transfers, saw that the files were copying. But the next day, my Lenovo once again didn't recognize the red HDD, not until I unplugged and replugged it. Not a good sign. Then when I opened the files' folder, I saw that most of the MP4 files I had copied were not listed -- files that I had seen in the folder the night before. Yet Windows 11 Explorer indicated the files were there, based on the number of files it counted, and on the amount of free space remaining on the HDD. But when I opened the files' folder on the HDD, the files didn't appear. I then tried to drag & drop the missing files a second time onto the HDD, but Windows 11 said that files with the same names already existed on the HDD. Although they didn't appear when I looked into the folder. I might put this down to a problem with Windows 11, but for the fact that both problem HDDs (the black and red ones) clicked loudly, which should not be the case. Neither of the old WD 4 TB HDDs click loudly, nor the new blue WD 6 TB HDD which has no problems recognizing files. I still need backup storage. I'll have to return the red WD HDD as well, and seek another brand.

Highly recommend. Works great. No issues. Fast 3.0/3.1 data transfer rates. The cord is proprietary?/atypical/nonstandard end where it plugs into the hard drive. Heat level is medium - it gets a little hot but not bad. Seems sturdy. Keeps data safe. Still works after 6 months. Will update if any issues of data loss or if it acts up, but so far it's great! I like the compact size - fits easily in handbag or cosmetic-size pouch, but would be too thick/deep for a typical shirt or pants pocket. Typical USB compatible on the computer/tablet. Pretty color blue.

So far so good, only bummer is it is way below than 6 TB, would be better if it was something like 5.840 TB instead of 5.46 TB, in GBts it is a massive memory loss and doesn't reflect marketed 6 TB Drive. But it is still ok for the price.

Works as expected

very good

In pratica è un 5,5 e va proprio bene

It works well

sehr zufrieden wie immer. Sind allerdings durch die Kriege teurer geworden. Hoffe, dass sie wieder deutlich günstiger werden.

Reliable and well built.
