I am admittedly a digital hoarder with uncountable images, videos, and program files from various projects. And I have always had trouble with space, moving files between my various devices and cloud storages and USB sticks. And trying to decide what can be sacrificed to the rubbish bin. And I never seemed to have enough. I'd always wanted a larger hard drive than my 1Tb one. And after I lost a few months' worth of footage due to a Bitlocker incident (make sure you know your Bitlocker code or lose everything, people!) I finally bit the bullet to my wallet and got this. And I have NO REGRETS!...view more I am admittedly a digital hoarder with uncountable images, videos, and program files from various projects.

It is super easy to set up and use. It looks nice. And having this much space is incredible! I have spent the last few weeks transferring files to it. And I have been able to back up my entire OneDrive, store all my movie files, and make an archive for all my photo albums, art projects, and video footage. And I've barely made a dent in the storage space!
This is going to last me a long time before I'll need to get another. SO worth it!

Worked flawlessly out of the box. Worked flawlessly out of the box.

I did not realise it will not work straight out of the box if you are with apple. It was not pointed out to me by the sales person at PBTech, nor did he ask if I was on Apple or Windows.
He should have asked me this question and then let me know what would be involved to set it up as I am on apple computer.
To make it worse the set up instructions were missing from inside the box.
I would have preffered to get a Seagate disk as that works straight out of the box when you are on a apple computer.
I would not purchase again.
I would buy a Seagate instead of Western Digital Hard Drive
After all the hassle on set up it works ok - but I...view more I did not realise it will not work straight out of the box if you are with apple. It was not pointed out to me by the sales person at PBTech, nor did he ask if I was on Apple or Windows.
