Device Setup In Progress External Hard Drive

Works great - I am finally able to use my external monitor, external hard drive(s), charge my device, etc. at once.

Excellent External hard drive.

I use it as an external hard drive for photos.

I purchased this external hard drive so i could back up my 2012 MacBook Pro with time machine. I was able to format the drive for the time machine and had absolutely no issues doing it. I was also able to partition it so it can also be used as a regular drive so i can store photos and videos. Out of the box, the device was flawless and powered up immediately when i plugged it in with USB. No power adapter necessary. When it's running when its recording or reading, its silent and there are no vibrations or rattling noises. Considering the 4TB storage capacity and the fact it's not SSD, this is quite a small device. I've been using Western Digital for over a decade and have never had any issues. In my opinion, they are the best devices and i would recommend them to anyone. They are the best bang for the buck!

Even if you don't know what you're doing this has got to be the easiest device to use and the fastest alternative to a USB thumb drive or external Hard drive out there. It's extremely portable and can carry so much storage its almost unnecessary but very convenient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Seagate external hard drive is amazing! I grabbed the 8TB and it's a beast! The read and write speeds are as advertised at 250mbs. This external hard drive can read and while, while being used and playing games. This is my current steam library all on this external drive. I can play games on this device even when downloading. It handles all my tasks! it's also used for my emulators with this incredible reads and write. I my previous device WD black external would freeze all the time, when moving on to the HDD or playing a game while downloading causing the game to crash. If you are a gamer and plan to play games & download at the same time or use this machine as emulation station, this external HDD is for you! I actually hope they come with 18tb or 20tb model cause I would buy again!

Finally a way to turn the i-pad into a useful device! You have access to all the data on the external hard drive via an app. Great. The Apple *genii didn't know how to do it, I do now, thanks B&H!

I use this adapter to connect an external hard drive to my Samsung Galaxy Tab S. Tablets only have mini usb ports. To use an external or any other device that uses a usb port, you'll need this adaptor. I also recommend getting an adapter that has a mini USB port on the adapter so you can keep your tablet charging while you use it with the USB device.

My external hard drive arrived when expected and in great condition (packaging). It was a little heavier than the Seagate I have, but that's ok. It won't be moved from office. I ordered this large drive for my fiance's laptop, to use as a backup for important files, and to store excess files not being used but once in a while. I needed the 1.5TB because of audio recording files, which are very large and almost wiped out the laptop's small hard drive space. It was a very easy setup, no problems. I was delightfully surprised that I didn't have to deal with WD software telling me what to do, how to setup for backups, etc. I wanted to have full control, and that's what I got. I'm very happy with my purchase, so far. Haven't had for more than a couple weeks, so we'll see how it goes. First WD purchase.
