5T storage devide works well with Linux Fedora-33 and Rocky-8
This product is used to store large data files on both Fedora-33 and Rocky-8 linux systems. They are moved between the two systems allowing machine based access. The NTFS file system just needed to be configured in /etc/fstab, the blkid gave the device location, and then the mount command allowed access to the device so that it acted like any other. They are inexpensive enough that three devices are now attached to the same linux box giving multiple terrabytes of storage. The USB-C connection with adapter gives a quick change between the USB ports of the Rocky Linux USB-A 3.0 ports and the fedora-33 USB-C ports, allowing portable connection to each computer. Access speeds seem higher with the 5T USB-C than with the USB-A devices (e.g. the non Ultra version of the 5T drive).I keep the cable attached to the device at all times. Experience with others has taught me that the connection to the device is direct to the circuit board, so this procedure keeps the connects to a minimum. I do not tug or flex the attaching cables. Three are operated horizontally and one is operated vertically. There does not seem to be any difference in performance between vertical or horizontal operation.Longevity – I have both the 1T and 4T versions which I purchased almost 10 years ago which I use to store pictures (1T) and data files (4T). I started purchasing 5T drives in 2017 and 2018, and again in 2022. All but the 1T device are continually used daily and have had no issues.

Reliable With USB C Connection
I use multiple Western Digital hard drives in my home assembled PCs, video surveillance recorder, and NAS for storage of over-the-air recorded TV for PLEX playback. I also use the company’s Sandisk solid state portable storage to put back up copies of documents in the bank’s safe deposit box and for large transfers to family members.When I caused an error that required me to send out one of my hard drives for data recovery, I needed to provide a sufficient size portable drive for the transfer / restoration. My choice to use this Ultra was simple, especially since it now uses the USB-C connection versus the prior odd-shaped connector used on many prior portable drives.Although this currently serves as a back up storage drive, it performed well when I transferred my restored data to the PC drives that I up-sized. The transfer was reasonably fast and the case did a good job of dissipating the heat over the hours it took for 3TB.

Rugged External Hard Drive for computer record storage.
I previously had a MyBook Western Digital 4 TB external computer record storage device that finally died. It gave me such excellent service that I purchased its replacement in the Western Digital product lineup. It was simple to set up and with my Apple Time Machine, it flawlessly backs up all my computer records once a week.

quick, compact, good capacity
A fast, compact drive powered by its USB-C connector. A solidly built cable is included plus a USB-A converter. There’s a single activity LED near the connector.Write performance on a USB-C 3.1 host interface was decent, with 1MB sequential writes running at 112MiB/s, but dropping to 94MiB/s presumably along the slower (outer) parts of the spinning disk.Linux/BSD people, here’s how the drive showed up for me:WD My Passport 260D 2007 Fixed Direct Access SPC-4 SCSI device1907697MB (3906963456 512 byte sectors)Note the enclosure shows up as a separate device, BSD sees it as:ses1: WD SES Device 2007 Fixed Enclosure Services SPC-4 SCSI deviceses1: SES DeviceUSB-C is a selling point for me despite some skeptical reviewers here. It isn’t meant to be faster, necessarily, that’s a function of the interfaces on each end. But it’s always a more robust & simpler connector. It lasts long than microUSB (by design) and doesn’t need to be flipped back and forth repeatedly until it finally fits. I generally won’t buy a device with an older USB connector unless there’s no option. USB-C all the way.A great little drive, and nice-looking too. I might wish it were SSD or that the LED was on the front, but otherwise no complaints.

I bought this to use with a new ATSC TV tuner as the external hard drive for the DVR function. I had bought an ATSC TV tuner stick but it would not accept the WD hard drive even after I reformatted it to the FAT32 configuration. So I had to use a flash drive instead. The tuner started malfunctioning, sputtering in and out, so I bought a second one that was similar but by a different company. This second tuner not only worked better out of the box, it came with a better remote control lay out and accepted the reformatted WD external hdd to record programming. It all works fine. I trashed that first tuner.

Aunque el espacio real del disco son como 4.5 Tb sigue siendo muy util y practico, la informacion pasa muy agil entre mi PC y el WD, el conector usb C que viene incluido se siente de calidad tambien, hace un poco de ruido y se calienta un poco cuando pasas mucha informacion pero eso para mi no es problema

Just started using this disk that I bought in july, but today it broke down on me. Unable to mount and making bad sounds. Probably lost all data on it.
