I just have a few hundred hours on it so far, but it has been reliable, but pretty slow. Since I'm using it for backup, the speed is less important than the reliability.

The hard drive is a good size for what I need, but is too noisy. Don't know whether this one or a problem with it. I have other WD hds but the do not generate that much squeeking noise

I didn't need fancy network backup, and I didn't need to backup items that I need to view off site. I needed a simple way to back up my 4k YouTube creations and this fits the bill exactly. No need to fuss with formatting, its as easy as plug it in and go. Can't say enough about WD. (No I don't work for them...lol)

I'm sure it's definitely not brand new but it was all wrapped neatly in the sticker plastic and both cables were wrapped as if they came straight from a retail store. No scratches that I could see. It worked right out of the box. It connects to my laptops pretty fast after coming out of sleep mode. I've only had it for about two weeks but so far so good.

Bought 2 of these for my laptop and desktop. When they work, they are great! But my laptop eventually stop recognizing the 1st one, and not long after the same thing happened to the other one connected to my desktop. Both had the same error message "Not Initialized". I know for sure WD is a good brand from past experiences, but these were advertised as New Open Box and were most likely already defective, repackaged, and resold. Expensive lesson learned: Only buy new and avoid buying New Open Box!! Never know what you might end up with!!
