    My HP laptop was serviced in one day. It now works fine as I has overloaded it when my desktop PC has to be replaced. Data was backed up to a portable external hard drive.

    This is one of couple of external drives purchased for the use as a backup drive for recent new builds. I've found using external drives by WD the best option.

    I have no issues with this hard drive. If you don't want to pay for a bigger brand name device, you'll get everything you need from this. It's easy to encrypt just as any other drive.

    We needed a backup for everything we had on our computers (due to a hard drive crash) and this was the smallest (1TB) they had at Best Buy. We got a price break being Total Tech Support members and the Geek Squad backed-up everything for us while they cleaned up our computers. This work alone, along with the price break on the back-up, was worth the cost of the Total Tech Support membership. The 1TB back-up will easily fit everything we need to back-up and leave plenty of room for future use.

    After a very sad loss of photos and data on a computer several years ago, I went to external backup drives for everything I want to save longterm. I use this one for photo's as it is 1 T and it is easier to put a years worth of photos' and mark it with the year than having a 8 T and having to hook it up to find one photo. I keep these stored off site.

    I only Western Digital storage devices. I have used a couple other competitor brands in the past, but I return to WD. The simplicity of design and function works for me. Cheers.

    Western digital is way more reliable than Seagate. I have HDs and by far WD has not died on me. This portable hd is what I use on the go.

    It is a replacement for an external drive that started having issues. I don't have high hopes for it if it follows longevity of the first one. Comes loaded with idiotic "social media" backup software. Just don't install that software.

    This drive is great! It's my second one (to back up my back up). Only problem is the crapware that comes installed on it. I even formatted it and it's still there. I just want the storage, not the crud a company is putting on there to make things "easy."
