This is an update to an earlier review that said I was having difficulty because this model no longer supports Windows XP. The package indicated that XP was not supported, but I had not checked for that because my other My Book drives all had provided XP support. The symptom was that the My Book would show up in Device Manager as malfunctioning because it didn't have a driver and would not be assigned a drive letter. Because of the assistance provided by the WD representative (pasted in below), I have been able to follow the instructions provided and reformatted the drive to NTFS with the tool from the WD support site. Once this was done, Windows found the drive, Windows Update asked for permission to search for a driver. It found a driver, loaded it and now it is functioning normally on XP as well as 8.1. This model drive comes with exFAT rather than NTFS and even though I had exFAT support installed on XP, it couldn't read a 4TB drive in exFAT. So, even though it says there is no XP support, you can reformat and make it connect. I have purchased 5 of these My Book drives over the last few years. A couple of 2Tb, a 3Tb and a couple of 4Tb. This latest one is a 4 Tb. 4 of the 5 are still working. I have a number of computers that I back up with these drives. The Acronis WD works well for backup and restore. I have used it to disaster restore a failed hard drive-very effective. I can't answer if all of the bundled software will run on XP, but the Acronis WD that I have been using with XP still works fine.

Got this to use when transferring drives to my new NAS. Worked great and as a bonus I was able to remove it from the case and add it as an additional drive (white label red Drive) to my array.

Easy to use. Just plug and play.

- Sleek looking external hard drive. - Power brick isn't too large, points downwards. Standard 12V - 1.5A. - Despite what people say this hard drive enclosure CAN be shucked. Meaning you can remove the bare internal hard drive from the enclosure and put the hard drive into your PC for use (no encryption). Unless you are a ninja, this will VOID your warranty.** - There IS software & hardware encryption IF you purposefully want it. - This is Western Digital quality, so the drive should be reliable.

Disk inside is WD80EZAZ, US7SAL080, a Helium drive. It used to be HC510, which is not a SMR drive. Easy to open shell (compare to seagate expansion), no damage will happen.

- Fast transfer speeds for and HDD (~215 MB/s) - Ample space for ample libraries (Can store as much as 2,564 DVD DL or 872 single layer BD-R) - Easy Setup (Literally plug and play)

Easy setup, quiet, fast, PC/Mac, comes with proper length cables, great company behind it.

I'm not into the third generation of Buffalo DriveStations. I use them in fours for backups; two alternating and two alternating off-site. I alternate two on-site so that if there's a drive failure, I'll still have a relatively recent backup. That has never happened with DriveStations. I've bought new DriveStations because, when I get a new computer, it inevitably has a larger disk. The Axis Velocity drives are nearly silent (you can hear disk seeks sometimes) and take full advantage of USB 3.0. With the two drives I just bought, I backed up 257 GB in less than 90 minutes per drive, using AES encryption, which slowed the process.

Plug and play. Worked perfectly with the PS5

Got a White Label HGST Ultrastar He10 inside mine. Now sitting in my Unraid server!

Easy setup, very very very quiet, transfer data pretty quick too 7200 rpm drive @ 8TB external

I cannot complain for the price at Newegg basically compensates for the intermitent noise running a tad hot. But I'm confident it will be fine. Best deal I've got for a HD. I shopped around and Newegg was by far the best deal and had it in stock. Not even you know who had it in stock.

Works great after reformatting for Mac.

Everything is high quality, from case, drive, cables, power, online manual, registration. The USB-C connection seems to work steady and well. Has 5 year warranty. The front of the case is black & the body is a textured gun metal grey.
