    This portable drive is thin and fits nicely in a pocket. Easy to carry with you when you have a lot of info to transport. Metal case also has a nice feel.

    Bought it... opened it. Installed it in my PS4. Works great. Upgraded my PS4 to a 2TB hard drive for less than $100. Totally worth it.

    I needed a hard drive to quickly backup files from another hard drive that was failing. It worked flawlessly and now all my work from the past 6 years is stored safely until I have another long-term storage option to use.

    Error Messages during Set Up

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Upon the recommendation of a Best Buy associate, I purchased this hard drive to back-up mobile and laptop data. However, after many attempts to set it up, following all directions, the same error message keeps showing up. Difficult to impossible to set up--would not recommend it. I have another hard drive--WD Passport--which is so much easier to use. Wish I purchased the WD Passport instead of this.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
