    I got this product for the fact that it is Mac compatible and not wanting to deal with other devices (plus it was on sale that day) I decided to go for it. Once opened and plugged in, the device was easy to use. Plug and play, and time machine does everything automatically. I strongly recommend this to others. Just make sure you know how much memory you need.

    I wanted a way reasonably priced and easy to backup. This is great compared to what I paid a service in past to do it. It's small in size, is easy to do, and will back up a lot of info.

    Great for on-the-go and as a desktop hard drive. So glad I opted for this one as I've always had good luck with WD products. The 3.0 USB is just what I needed for all my large files.

    This is a very good buy especially when it's on sale. With Bluetooth 3.0 the data transfer is super fast. This external Hard Drive is very small, compact and light. Great for DJ's.

    It's user friendly and I was able to back up my laptop right away. The directions were a bit hard to follow since they were broken into sections and in about twenty different languages.

    I basically bought this b cause it looks cool, next to my Mac as opposed to some of the other ones available, sure some other might give you free cloud acess or a date with Rachel Ray but none of the others look like they were made for the iMac like this one does. It sits next to my SuperDrive and they look like cousins as opposed to the toshiba drive which looks like a burglar broke in to the house and got ought by the family.
