Also good on Linux
Also works well with computers running Ubuntu for backups, fast transfer. A little surprised by the lack of an indicator light.

Dark!
Dark! Top brand, works perfectly and looks great. I use it to back up my films, music and documents. Very fast and convincing speed at a relatively fair price.

WD 6TB
I have been using a 3TB (2.72 real) WD My Book in NTFS since 2013 with satisfaction.
This second WD My Book of 6Tb even if it works very well for the moment is still not in the same category as the previous one.
- 6Tb in reality 5,45Tb is a big loss of space.
- This HD is in exFAT which is not as good as NTFS as for some files the space occupied is double or even triple in disk space.
I'm still wondering about the usefulness of this drive in terms of quality/price compared to the previous one.
- No indicator of power supply of the disc.
I am relatively disappointed considering the cost price.
It would be necessary to indicate the real rate of disk space in the data sheet.Review automatically translated -

perfect
This is the 3rd WD hard drive I have purchased for data storage. I have no worries with these drives. I recommend them for my storage use: photos, video and various backups.

Good acquisition
The WD MyBook (New) 6Tb -USB 3.0, ready to use, formatted in exFAT, was very useful to me when I was setting up a backup strategy that had become necessary (important documents, heavy 4K video files,...). I use Acronis True Image 2017 for my backups and it works very well with it, but I tried to locate an additional system backup in it, which I did with Windows, which only recognises the NTFS format. I was therefore forced to buy a Transcend 2.5" 500GB in NTFS format this time.
However, I do not regret my purchase.Review automatically translated
