I bought this to replace my Toshiba external hard drive and it was very fast setting up! Then when I opened it up, I noticed that it had the same connector and that worried me because it was the connector that didn't work on two of my Toshiba external hard drives. So I thought to use this connector on my Toshiba's and it worked on them. So yes I will keep buying from Western Digital and not deviant from buying from this company.

This was so simple to use and easy loading that even my wife was able use it... Nuff said!

Small compact design makes this a great buy for all your needs. Backup software that comes with it is easy to use. You can choose what to backup or let the software choose for you. When connected with a usb 3.0 cable to a usb 3.0 port transfer rate is impressive. Password protection and hardware encryption make this great for home or business. Overall an excellent choice for any use.

Got it as a special offer for something less than 100 bucks on December 2014. Use it on Linux, specifically on Linux Mint 17 64 bits, it works perfectly, you don't even have to format it, simply plug it and start copying files. Currently storing all my videos on the drive. You'll most certainly will want to get one of those pouches, as the HDD comes bare naked.

Easy to install and use. very portable if I decide to do that
