    Setup User Experience Unacceptable

    This is one of the worst user experiences I’ve had in a really long time. There are no instructions in the package. The mini tour explains virtually nothing. Then I get an error that a drive needed to read and edit files was needed but my computer wasn’t supported. You had to click on it to find out you needed to go to a website. I wasn’t given any real context of what that meant but went to the website and downloaded. Then I couldn’t figure out how to backup. There’s supposed to be an app for that, mentioned no where but the product manual you manually have to go to get on the site. I Googled the app, only to discover the app is no longer supported and there’s another app. It’s been an hour of downloading and restarting and searching when other devices had me up and going within ten minutes. I haven’t gotten to the backing up experience because the process of getting started has been so frustrating. It’s clearly been patch worked together over changes without real cohesive updates to integrate the experience. Ans now I’ve got three different software with three different massive guides to manage and understand. Purchased this to try out this family of products before I invest in a larger and more stationary system. Not inclined to buy from this company

    Backed up my computer and still have plenty of space left on the hard drive. Small and convenient. Going to order one for my mother to do the same.

    So, went to Best Buy Geek Squad without backing up the old computer. Due to the Geek Squad appointment and the drive back home I decided to get this little item. A WD Easystore 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black. As with most hard drives out there it was easy to use and operate.
