    Compact, easy to use. Secure. Can sit in a drawer till needed, or occupies little space on the desk top. Just plug in then back up info. Click eject easy store when finished, and put it out of sight.

    This does the job! It was easy to use and I had to make the minor adjustment to have it be Mac freindly. Small and compact. Bought this to backup computer in the event of a home evacuation and we can't take it all, we can take this. It's great.

    We bought a windows 10 desk top computer so it was not compatible with the old back up drive we had. We bought this one and it is very small and easy to install and runs of the USB connector, no power supply needed. Back up runs automatically.

    The best portable hard drive that you could ask for, I bought this to use for school purposes and have been happy since. What can you ask for having 1Tb of storage you can't ask for more.

    It was a little fiddly at first using to back up a laptop as the communication style was odd. Had to retry a few times before getting it done properly. It’s only been a few months, so hopefully all is well in the land of hard drive storage.

    It works for what I need it. I’m using it to store my PS4 games on my PS5. The transfer rate is a little slow in between the PS5 and this devices, but you only do it once and don’t need to worry about it again. Hopefully it last for a long time.

    I bought a very old WD (80GB) portable drive more 20+ years ago. It's still working in good condition today. I then bought this WD - Easystore 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive to backup my data for my laptop. The main purpose is to backup all data on my Windows 7 laptop first; and then, upgrade my old Dell 5520 laptop purchased on 09/2012 to Windows 10 (along with upgrades its RAM from 2GB to 10 GB as well as it 700GB Hard Drive to SanDisk - Ultra 512GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive) on 08/2019. This new WD - Easystore 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive can effectively backup and restore data as well as with much less time than the old WD (80GB) portable drive on my Windows 10 laptop now. Hopefully, its quality will be as good as if not better then the old unit.
