    Works super for all that I want. Probably more room than I need but I'd rather have that than too little!

    Sadly this product did not work. I read reviews here and in other stores, it sound like it is an overall well-rated hard drive, Western Digital is a good brand, but like other hard drives they are sometimes defective. I reached out to Western Digital for help on accessing the drive, we discussed the issue over the course of 2 days and they couldn't figure out the problem. They told me to return it and I did. Best Buy had no issue with my return based on this problem.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great price for what seems to be a nice drive. You will need an adapter if you want to use this on a Mac or laptop with only a USB-C port.

    Does it’s job. I use it to backup my MacBook. It does take some time...so I’m not sure if that’s because the speed of the drive or my computer. Nevertheless, it’s nice, small and helps a lot. Had to buy an adapter for it to fit my MacBook usb-c.

    WD Easystore was very easy to setup and install. File history was not working properly so got this instead of a large flash drive. Just plug into the USB and install the program and it works great. No problems so far with this product.
