Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the small footprint of the drive and its high capacity. It works great with my desktop and laptop. I have used to backup my data.

The drive performs as expected and at a great price. But I am extremely disappointed in the backup software. My previous WD had software that continuously backed up files as they were saved, This one only offers three schedule options and to make things worse I have yet to see it do so automatically. I have it set to a daily backup at 1:00 p.m. I have to initiate it manually even though i have the computer turned on at that time. Be prepared to backup manually. This is the first purchase that I did not rate @ 5 stars.

WORKED GREAT. Very easy to set up and use and it transferred the data in the blink of an eye (if eyes took minutes to blink). Seriously though it went faster than I expected and I was impressed.

Fast drive good for traveling. I love how small and compact this is. Love that it had options for colors so we can tell mine from others. Holds all my pictures that I haven’t even scratched the amount and cleared off laptop and phone full of years of pictures.

Holds a ton of space. Neatly stores for travel. Talks to computer easily.

Great little drive, plenty of s space, helpful getting items copied to my new laptop, great for extra storage

This little gadget works great for my boyfriend's PS4. It adds a lot of extra memory and is small which is good so it doesn't take up too much space. The price is also great considering it has a lot of memory space. I will be buying another one soon for my PS4.

This external drive is easy to use, and works well to back up files quickly. We used it to transfer files from an old laptop to a new laptop, and it worked perfectly. We were very happy with the purchase.

I love it with the help of the Geek Squad. There are many different pieces of technology out there so I appreciate real help, not biased help, from real people, not salespeople.

Bought a newer MacBook Pro and needed an external hard drive to transfer my files from my old MacBook to the new one. This one was a great price and easy to use. Save the files to time machine through the hard drive and transfer to the new one.

This hard drive is light, compact, and easy to utilize.

I have been told this is the perfect size for me. It will hold all of my pictures taken over the last 10 years. A compact size and easy to store.

I purchased this to backup the contents of my computer and transfer to a new one. And wow what a device

Small and easy to carry. Simple instructions and has a lot of space

Holds alot of files. Easily transportable. Compact

Super easy unit to set up with all software you need included. I set it to back up every night and no longer worry about losing data even if my system crashes. Small enough that you forget it's there.

I needed this portable hard drive to back up my laptop. It is great.

Quick, plug and play external hard drive. It is as easy to use as any thumb drive, only it has a lot more storage. It is fairly small and light weight. Good deal for the price.

Works great for storage, I use it to store data I don't want taking up space on my pc. I have not and do not plan to use as a backup for my PC so I can't speak on that. Very fast for storage. I can play music, videos etc. very fast with this drive. I have only used it in USB 3 port. i don't know about using it in USB 2.
