    After purchasing from the store I had no problems installing the device. Brings a sense of security knowing that my important files are backed up.

    Bought it for my teenage son and his video games. Guess it does what it's supposed to be doing because I haven't seen my son since

    Had an issue with transferring a large amount of files and the hard drive timing out and resetting itself. If I limited the number of files transfer was fast and flawless.

    This is an easy "plug and Play" device. Works great comes with software that the user can easily define before or after first use.

    It worked great right out of the box. I plugged it into the computer and dragged my files over and with the USB 3.0 it went very fast.

    I bought this based on the recommendations on several review websites, I think I can say it lived up to those expectations. I would love to see more designs on the outer cover along with the plain options.

    Bought this for use as a backup for the internal SATA drive my system boots from. Using it for cloning that drive, works fine.

    Excellent external drive, no issues with my HP laptop, FYI: cord is the new double plug, so my other usb cords won't connect to the hard drive. Might go with WD is they haven't changed teh cord style.
