My External Hard Disk Is Not Showing Files

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.

This is mysecond LaCie external hard drive that I use to backup all of my RAW and finished files. My first was purchased over a year ago and worked flawlessly so this was an obvious choice for me. Setup was easy; plugged it into my Mac and it was ready to go. Runs quiet. USB powered so that another power cord is not necessary. No complaints, no regrets.

I just added the WD 4TB Elements External Desktop Hard Disk Drive to my� back up solution (6 hard drives) and Windows 10.� I disconnected the power and USB cable from a full WD hard drive and replaced it with this new drive and fired it up. It works great, just like I would expect from Western Digital.

This two-disk dock works very well for backups. I keep large numbers of video and photo files for video editing and web photo projects and have files from two computers separated and backed up on multiple hard drives. It is much easier to slap external disks into these docks for backup or storage than trying to coordinate multiple external USB disks or even a RAID. This is my second of these OWC units and both work great.

I wanted to reduce the number of files on my Mac and moved all my pictures and edits to the external hard drive. Even though the disk comes formatted for Mac or PC I would make sure you reformat the disk before use. The speed is great and have had no issues.

This is my favorite external disk now!

I'm happy that I got this product very quickly as I needed a quick access to my important files in the hard disk.

Simple to use and very quick to transfer pictures and files from old external hard drive.

Wow, I love this hard drive. It is soooooo much faster than a regular old external drive with a spinning disk. I will be able to use this with my base model M1 Mac Mini. I can't wait!

This external hard drive works really nice and quiet, and it saves lots of disk space on my laptop. The price for it is also reasonable.
