Cons: Depending on your purpose, top speed may be an issue. The speed is sufficient to stream video, stream FLAC audio, and backup a desktop while you are sleeping. It is not designed to be the fastest for copying thousands of small files in the shortest possible time. The driver automatically installed for me on Win 7. The optional software experience is similar in look and feel on both Windows and Mac.
There is an interesting display that graphically categorizes the files by type and shows you what has been backed up. I have had five of the older 1 Tb USB2 drives for a long time and they are still working fine.
I use the other two to store laptop backups, rotating one unit off-site. The fifth is my general purpose portable utility drive that goes in the suitcase when I travel. Backup and redundancy are not optional if you value your data. Drives fail. A high-capacity portable drive with a separate power supply is often a good component in a comprehensive backup strategy.
Pros: Overall this is a wonderful hard drive for what it is, 3TB of storage 2. With that much music, I don't know what would finish first, your playlist or the drive failing? Due to the nature of the size is the mainly for long term storage that isn't moved often.
The best part about buying external hard drives is you can easily use them as internal hard drives if you wish to. If you have a USB3 port you won't need to use it internally to get the maximum speed of the drive. The following tests were done on a USB3 port. For example, the software determines that ALL pictures on the drive must be backed up, or ALL videos on the drive must be backed up, this isn't very efficient.
Overall Review: For those who are too accustomed to looking at Windows' false capacity readings and wonder why Windows states the drive is 2. Although the drive's included software sucks, there is plenty of third party tools you may use. Pros: Massive amount of storage 2. With the prices of HDDs so artificially! Cons: None so far And these are more than fast enough to be a data storage drive. Overall Review: My wife and I recently had a baby and I wanted to get a large storage solution to store and backup pictures and videos of the kid, which will become a massive collection over a couple years.
Ideally, I wanted an internal 2 or 3 TB Raid 1 setup, but prices are so crazy right now that I wasn't willing to spend the money on that. It's a crude RAID 1 replacement that does the trick, and I love the way 2 of these looks next to my monitor :. At the time WDs warranty had been reduced to one year. WD even paid for shipping both ways.
The power of Newegg!! I see that my new drive has a warranty of two years. Seagate still only offers one. I think I'll be sticking with WD despite the bad drive I got. Windows reports TiB tebibyte as TB terabyte , this is normal. Looks good sitting on your desk.
