Customer Review

Right at the beginning asks Time Machine (the built-in backup system from OS X) if you want to use the disk for backups. The plate is therefore recognized immediately and can also set up very simple. On the plate there is a .dng file that can be opened to bring up a menu. There then several points that can be accessed: eg WD + TURBO Installer to improve the performance of the drive again, WD Security (to set password protection and hardware encryption) or WD Drive Utilities (for diagnosis of drive failure; bad sectors ; set snooze to save power).

Unfortunately, I have on my Mac still a USB 2.0 port - but I can say that it works extremely quickly even under 2.0. Copying large amounts of data is not a problem, is very fast and without problems. She is very quiet, hardly something to hear. Also, the heat development is in a good frame. 3TB for me is just the right capacity - fits neatly what it and you always have some buffer, if time still what needs up.

Small negative point is, in my view, the additional power source is needed in the form of a socket (power supply).

The manual is actually stored on disk in pdf format.

If you want to change times (determined will not):

The plate can also be for Windows make it fit: simply download and run Driver and small formatting tool on the WD website. One then has a classic drive for Windows computers, but without the numerous menu options and WD tools.

Small but nice! 43 Rank: 4/5
