Huge storage that is faster than the 4 TB expansion disks that I bought several years ago.

Fácil de usar.

Great Product

I probably have 20 of these drives that are 20TB or bigger. Due to work they are the "floppy drives" of the 2020s.

A cinch to install: I just need to connect it to a USB 3.0 port, find an electrical outlet, restart my computer, and bob's your uncle - the drive installed immediately. It'w about the height of a paperback novel, and about as wide as a long novel (think of Tolstoy's War and Peace), so it fits perfectly on a shelf. Plus it is a nice looking unit, and very quiet. 12 tb is not an insignificant amount of space, but I am assembling a collection of digitized early printed books (really early: between 1460 and 1800), and it will take a major effort to fill this drive.

My Synology NAS never has enough internal disk space; a couple of external USB drives help bolster its storage capacity. I've been using Western Digital drives since 1994 and have had very few failures. They mostly just get retired when larger drives take their place. Since I'm serving the drives over Gigabit Ethernet, performance isn't an issue; my concerns are price and reliability and WD delivers both.

As described and fast shipping. Newegg mail carrier threw this expensive and delicate hard drive at my house and onto the front door, no care what is inside. Its really a disaster.

It does have a small power brick, that does not block other outlets! Smaller brick than what I had on my previous (smaller capacity) Ext. hard drive! Plug in and go! I love my 6 TB My Book Ext. Hard Drive!

6TB = 5.6TB exFAT of storage for Mac or Windows compatibility 165MB/s read/write using USB 3.0 AC adapter included USB 3.0 cable included WD Drive Utilities allows for status check for drive failure and bad sectors WD Security allows for password protection to unlock drive Black construction with glossy top half is aesthetically appealing 3 - year warranty

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.

Good price. WD always reliable.

-Extra power supply -It has a stand -quite -extra USB charging cables


Good Transfer Rates. Recieved last December, formatted for simple backup device, use daily. Still running strong!




Quiet, fast, and holds an excellent amount of data. RGB is cool to sync with razer products but not why I bought it

Fast, quick recognition, takes all writes without complaint

Easy to set-up and start using. Great storage capacity. I've always had great luck with Western Digital products.
