I bought this because it says it's compatible with Apple and it is but it took hours of research and a few false starts to get there.

Easy to Use; Features; Quiet

good design and compatibility

price maybe other than that; nothing to complain

I bought this a couple of weeks ago to replace my older 3TB WD My Book (which is still going) and as usual WD hasn't let me down, the build quality is spot on and the performance is excellent (see attached screenshot of ATTO).

Bought Solely To Use With My PS4 As Extended Storage Due To The 500gig was Not Big Enough To Store My Collection Of Games Via Digital Copies. Powered Buy USB There For No Other Power Outlet Needed And Some what Matching Design Too.
