Pros

The only drawback is that it actually only has 3. Tb of true storage. Portability is the important thing for me. Would reccomend to anyone in the market for an external for your gaming console.



Cons

Wd is not nearly as sensitive as seagate. No longer mounts and unable to be repaired. Returned for refund.

Tb of data is gone. Seagate wants to charge me 850$ to restore my data. This product is not a 1 tb hard drive, it's a usb 3.

You can hear the drive attempting to boot as it revs. You format and it resets. Any other device and majority of the media folders show as having nothing in there.

Competitiveness


I use these for steam games and these are better and faster than any other harddrives.


Fast write and download speeds, better than any wd harddrives i've used.


So i am not 100% sure on why they didn't allow it to be closer to the 4tb advertised.


Having gone portable, i’m limited to a $10,000 investment into a high-end custom laptop, or external drives.

    So if you persistently get that cant eject still in use message when its clearly not in use it might be one of those odd outliers
