Access Computer Through File Windows Explorer

I'm happy with it, but sometimes it makes it impossible to turn off view file extensions in windows explorer unless I reboot.

At first it did not show a drive in windows explorer. I was thinking of writing a bad review, but then I opened Computer Manager/Disk Administration, turned out that the main volume on the drive did not have a partition

Took about 2 minutes from the time it was out of the box until the batch of pictures was in it. Access after loading is same as any other file on the computer. Desk top with Windows 10

As spec'd, runs. I use it for Windows File History.

Great capacity, fast file access.

This is one of the best nvme drives you can get from 2022. I can open folders and see previews in windows explorer on this drive noticably faster than on a seperate pcie 4.0 drive I have. I can't believe I got this for sub $400 on sale. I haven't ran into a scenario where I felt the drive was too slow or delaying me. i'm using it with a x570 motherboard.

I needed to replace an older (10 years?) WD network accessible drive that was beginning to have occasional performance issues. These seemed to get worse as I offloaded data to other storage in prep for replacing it. I read almost all of the reviews prior to deciding on this one, especially the best & worst reviews. The worst reviews mostly dwelt upon problems with setup & transfer speed. What I discovered was the WD My Cloud Home app had no problems locating & connecting to the drive. That part was actually easy. The process for adding files using the app seemed a bit cumbersome though. Normally I prefer to use my external hard drives as just another drive and access them with Windows File Explorer, making my transfers manually. That was the only part I had any issue with. After finding some recommended steps in the WD community help forum, the drive showed up in Explorer and has been performing great. In fact the transfer rate has been much faster than with previous drives. Now I transfer files with Explorer and access them with the app. I like being able to access files from anywhere on my network. My previous drive could also do this but was more cumbersome and was more limited in accessible file types that could be played within the app. My desktop has a fairly large library of .flac format audio files that I can now listen to from anywhere in my house without having to convert them first. I was not interested in accessing my files from anywhere but home and even connect through a subnetwork to further isolate from outside access. Read all the reviews both good & bad but for me it works great. If there are any issues that turn up later I'll update.

I could not upgrade the firmware from Godox through my windows 10. So after a computer professional looked over the situation said that Windows 10 would not recognize the upgrade due to the time Godox wrote the firmware upgrade. He used Windows 7 and the firmware upgrade worked.

Easy to use. Attached to PC running Windows 10 and was quickly detected and added to file system. Been adding 1800+ DVD/Blu-Ray movie collection to the drive and data transfer speed has been quite good. Have only had for a couple of weeks so can't say much about the longevity of the unit. Only time will tell ;-).

The speed of data transfer is amazing. The hard drive is compatible with both the Windows and Mac file system i.e. amazing. Plus it is very handy to carry.
