Absolutely zero guidance on how to format to use on a Mac. No help in the box. No help on the Hard Drive. No help online. Should't be this difficult to use a "plug and Play" hard drive!

Enclosure blocks non-WD drives

I am attempting to swap the 12TB drive out of the enclosure for an Iron Wolf Pro NAS 16TB drive. The NAS drive has 14TB worth of data already on it, works fine internally, but if you put it in the WD Elements enclosure, the drive is not recognized by the NAS server or my laptop (both Debian). Exact same configuration/cables/power supply but with the WD 12TB drive works fine. I tested it out using a Seagate 5TB as well and it was not recognized once placed in the WD Elements enclosure. If this is truly what is happening, that is absolutely unacceptable and I will never again purchase WD products. The USB/SATA standard is supposed to be open and universal, not locked to a specific manufacturer.

Works badly as USB disk for Keenetic router 1810

With Elements Desktop formatted as NTFS I receive very often warning "Dirty file system". Disk becomes unreadable with this warning. I have to disconnect to make disk check and repair in Windows. Very unstable work as a USB HDD. And it is not clear whose fault is this. I would never buy WD or Keenetic after such behavior. Currently I am considering to buy a backup disk for this "backup disk".

Absolute garbage. I'll be returning this expensive paper weight. I should have known to stick with Seagate.

I have had several WD hard drives over the years...good stuff. I was unable to format my latest on, so I called WD customer support and they got me up and running. Hard drive works well now.
Very Satisfied

This hard drive was a good solution for keeping my movies off of my Thunderbolt 3 drive and my internal ssd, and allocate that fast storage editing, and my os. This has 4tb of movies on it currently and my time machine back up and I’ve never noticed any playback issues like i noticed with my nas (mycloud ex2 ultra 10tb)
Excellent value for peace of mind

Absolutely easy to setup and configure. I have it shared across my network for backing up System Images and Data. It's a relief to be able to backup all of our PC's internally, and not have to worry about space.

I bought 2 of the 6TB external drives. So far so good. I have them hooked up to my USB 3.0 ports. I can get around 85-120MB/s writing speed. I also like the design of the drives.

The 6TB USB 3.0 Elements drive is used to store CD, SACD, and DAD rips and downloaded high-resolution DSD and PCM music files as program sources for the Windows 10 laptop computer that acts as a dedicated music server in a high-end audio system. Transfer speed and file stability are essential to high-quality, error-free music reproduction, and the Elements drive performs its function flawlessly.
Great backup drive

Excellent performance. I have been using it as primary storage for videos and using it to edit those videos. It performs quite well for a task it was not designed to do.
