Helpful info, especially when any sort of decent documentation is non-existent from WD. I installed today and found that I had to click Share Info in the Product Development modal to actually get to the install part. If you say Do Not Share you'll get an error (you can later remove the 'Share' setting). Also, I found the difference between copying over files vs. backing them up confusing until downloading the WD Backup App when then lets you set up a backup plan.

Tip: if you guys end up losing your cable for your usb 3.0 external drives, you can temporarily use a microusb cable. I had the old version of this mypassport ultra for 9 years now (bought in 2013 or 14) and now i am buying my first 2TB external because yes, as this dude said, content creators needs lots of storage. lol

I'm am an older person trying to watch your video while doing the same steps on my new WD My Passport. This video was accurate up until you gave instructions on the install backup part. My backup showed instead Acronis True Image for WD Backup. So now I will have to find a more recent video that explains this. The video was a bit bouncy and your speech was very fast (had to pause and replay frequently) but otherwise this was a good video up until the backup Acronis.

Bought the 5TB one in July and it's already broken. It won't turn on. No lights, no spinning. Tried different cables with no success. Had more than 3TB of "research" on it. First time a hard drive has failed on me, and it's so new! I have 3 other WD external hard drives, 2 Seagate ones, 1 Transcend, and 1 Toshiba. They're all working and 1 of the WD ones is almost 10 years old and it's still working fine. Avoid this particular model is my advice. A lot of the 1 star reviews on Amazon mention failure in less than a year.
