    The only issue was that I had to reformat it so it would work with my Mac. Super easy, just annoying.

    Good capacity in a small size, great value for a window user. The drive do come with a driver for You to read the files in Mac, but you have to download it in windows pc and use another use drive to install it in your Mac. Or you can purchase a 3rd party NTFS app In order to read and write files with Mac.

    I was just looking for an easy external hard drive that you simply plug in your computer, transfer files, save and viola! This is definitely not the case. You have to download all this WD software and the somehow have it back up your computer. I still haven't figured out how to get the WD software to back all my files. I'll get back to you when I do.

    Disk drive does exactly what it should. I'll wait 2 or 3 years and let you know if it lasts.

    The program is not user friendly at all. You have to guess your way around. I have backed up my laptop every week and have not needed to restore it so, I don’t know how good it works when your HD fails. I bought it because of price, it was the cheapest.

    This external is excellent for holding pictures and media but could be faster as a SSD.

    I needed a new external HD, as my old 1TB Toshiba Canvio was full. Only purchased the WD Easystore since it was available the same day I bought my new computer. Bad choice. I used this thing once. Transferred hundreds of files (photos, videos, music) from my old computer to the Easystore. The very next time I connected it to my computer, EVERY file was corrupt & unrecoverable. I lost everything on the drive. Did a reformat, tested it, seemed to work..... and then froze. Meanwhile, my 6 old Canvio has never had any issues. I will never be buying anything from WD again.
