Pros and cons
According to our external hard drive HDD expert
- You can automatically make backups with WD Smartware Pro.
- The My Book has USB 3.0, so it has a fast transfer speed.
- Thanks to the hardware encryption, your files are well-protected against external influences.
- For use with Mac, the drive must be reformatted.
- The hardware encryption can't be turned off when the drive breaks, so create a backup on another location to keep them safe.

Good enough
- Goes fast
- Small format
- Sometimes he needs to wake up
Read and write speed is fine, better than my Synology NAS. Streaming .mkv files (blu ray rips of 30 gb) is also nice. A lot of space. Downloading to this disc is sometimes problematic...it seems like he needs to wake up before he writes it.

Ideal for connecting to ps4
- Works with PS4
- Easy to connect
- Quiet
Since the playstation 4 was already full of games after half a year, I needed expansion. I was first looking for a Seagate Drive specifically for ps4, but it was out of stock, so I went for this one. Since the terabyte of the ps4 was quickly full, I immediately opted for 8 terabyte and I have not regretted it yet. Connecting was very easy and it works perfectly with the ps4. We can continue for a while!
