In Desktop External Hard Drives

I required external storage for home use, and it had to be of a capacity that could handle multiple virtual machines, have rapid retrieval and response times, and not quickly running low on space. I saw the WD My Book 6TB drive on Newegg and decided to purchase it. Another online seller I regularly use had larger capacity drives priced less but had major delivery issues after purchasing, so I had to obtain a refund three times. With Newegg I received the product within the delivery time and without issue. The drive works fine, operates quietly, and serves my external storage needs.

Worked great!

Works great for backup and is large enough that it should last me a long time. I use Acronis and it does an incremental backup which saves space. It is USB 3 which makes it faster than the old USB 2. I have used it to backup two computers and worked like a charm. I have been using Western Digital for a long time and have only had one hard drive failure and it is my belief that it failed because the IDE cable that was sent to me with the computer case was too long. It has a three-year warranty which is another plus.

There were no problems loading files. I transferred files from 3 different external drives on the Win 10 PC on this HDD, then plugged the drive in to a Win 11 laptop thru a hub.

Excellent Price, for the size of the hard drive

This is the 12th Seagate External SDD I've acquired over the past 5 years or so, and the first of this capacity. Just as with the others - 8TB, 6TB, 5TB, and 3TB - the drive was very straightforward to configure and start migrating data to. It's great to have the extra capacity.

-Smaller and more compact than expected -Minimalist design -Huge Amount of storage space -Easy setup with backup recovery software

I'm not into the third generation of Buffalo DriveStations. I use them in fours for backups; two alternating and two alternating off-site. I alternate two on-site so that if there's a drive failure, I'll still have a relatively recent backup. That has never happened with DriveStations. I've bought new DriveStations because, when I get a new computer, it inevitably has a larger disk. The Axis Velocity drives are nearly silent (you can hear disk seeks sometimes) and take full advantage of USB 3.0. With the two drives I just bought, I backed up 257 GB in less than 90 minutes per drive, using AES encryption, which slowed the process.

Huge storage that is faster than the 4 TB expansion disks that I bought several years ago.

- Price Per GB - 7200 RPM Disk - Deliver ~242MB in seq reads & 235 MB/s seq writes great for backup & recovery - Reputable company

Working very well. I already have 8.45TB on it (out of 10.9TB available). The response is as good as an internal HDD.

good size for the price the case size is OK

Insanely fast! I shucked this drive and installed in my system its a HGST 12TB For basic file transfers and downloads this drive awesome.
