Got 3 18TB mybooks for a crazy low price each from the wd store (dunno how I got that price, maybe the store was screwed up that day but I jumped). They are simple to plug in, fast, and you can disable sleep mode. The only thing about the 18TB versions are they are LOUD. They do click/make a noise every 5 seconds (one is a click when the drive does it's 5 second access because something in the case is lose and you can tell it's the top plastic piece making the click). All of the mybooks are designed to make a noise every 5 seconds to "lubricate" stuff according to the faq here. The extra warranty making them have a 4 year warranty was even better. OH and these are 7200RPM drives in the case, probably white label red's. I also have 4 14's and one of those is 7200 (the rest are 5400) so i would guess it's a crap shoot what they decide to slap in there but my 18's are 7200 and fast over usb 3.1. If I see the low offer show up again I'm going to get one more and max out my drive letters. I find these more reliable than the brand that starts with see and ends with gate (the warranty on those is a year and they stuff in enterprise class drives where if you bought them bare you get a 3 year warranty and they wont honor the drive S/N, just the chassis SN). I don't know how WD handles shucked drives (none of mine are shucked) but I read that they dont complain and replace them. I'll stick with WD, never had much trouble with them. Again, they're fast, long warranty and the only complaint is they're noisy but what can you do. You can't go wrong with the brand, quality or price. 5

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 ;-). 5

My current drive I was using for backups, the WD 14 TB drive, was running out of space. So, I wanted an additional 18TB drive for backups. Works perfectly for what I need. Using it in a studio, I wouldn't have picked this drive if I needed to use it daily for my work. (I currently use 10 external drives) I am not really sure of its speed. It is strange that WD does not advertise the speed of the drive and data flow. They leave it out of their specs. I assume they do that purposely. I also could not find the specs anywhere on the internet. Anyway, for my purpose (backups), it is perfect. Also, pricing it along side other competitor drives, it was significantly cheaper, at least 30% cheaper. For the price point, I couldn't pass is up. 5

If you are going to use this device with a Mac, you (may) need to contact WD technical support to guide you through reformatting prior to use. The reformatting process is logical, but can not be installed using the internal Mac disc utilities, you will need to install WD's download and use tech support to help make this a quick and easy process. This device, ( of which i purchased two) an 18TB My Book, will be used here as back up to my 48TB G Raid 4 bay Shuttle. I do not use the cloud for storage and would prefer to house my own back up. My digital life began with an ever increasing number of By Book's in the 1990's, and then migrated everything to G Drive storage. What I have done now, in this purchase is consolidate 12 G drives into, 1 48 TB G 4bay shuttle and 2- 18 TB My Book drives to bring of my storage needs up to date, with space available for adding data for a few years to come. This series of recent purchases represents my continued loyalty and trust in the performance reliability of products from WD for well over two decades. 5

I just wanted to drop a note about the Western Digital MyBook 4 TB drive. I’m going to purchase a new MyBook, even though my 13 yr old one is still going strong. The drive has backed up our old PC and our IMac. I have never had any issues with this drive. It does what it’s supposed to do. It sits next to the IMac, quietly backing up our data. I looked at other brands, but Western Digital did not let us down. I will stick with the brand. I hope the new one lasts just as long! 5
