I just bought the 20TB version and I love it. 5gb speed and the old USB 3 connection, but it's way faster than I thought. I recommend this to amyone who needs storage.
thank you for this video I had a question: does this hard disk have to remain plugged into the mains to work? (because for me it doesn't work if I don't plug it into the mains). Can I disconnect the USB port and the mains plug without risking losing all my data? Do I have to disconnect the USB port first, then the mains plug? I couldn't find any answer in the manual, thank you very much.
How are the temperatures on these? I hear they run really hot. I want to connect them to my media center to watch movies, but I feel I would need something with lower temps.

BestBuy did a backup of my dad's old Macintosh computer using a WD easystore 8TB External Hard Drive and for whatever reason, I can not get my windows 10 to recognize it's even there. Any helpful tips? Thanks
