I have known WD as a good brand for years. I've only had this MyBook for a short time, so I can't say much about reliability yet. I assume that's fine. I gave the disk a full format with NTFS, because I only use it in combination with Windows 10. I don't need the WD backup software.
It is not only fast, but also super quiet, which is a big plus for me.

For this price, the product offers excellent performance and the included software is an absolute top. This is still the best choice for me for eHDD.
