    Use it to back up my photos when I am out on a shoot. Easy to use with a computer and it is nice and small so it fits in a case with the usb cord.

    I bought this hard drive to save all of my personal photos outside of my computer. It was easy to set up and easy to transfer my photos to it. I simply move my photos onto the hard drive and then remove the hard drive from the computer for safe keeping.

    I got this as an alternative to a flash drive (a sandisk that got way too hot after little use.) I'm using this to code with unity and its working great so far.

    Backup or Lose it All

    I learned a very painful lesson earlier this year. I had a super reliable Macbook Pro which I had for years and which I had not had any problems. I really intended to back it up and kept telling myself to get a backup hard drive, especially since they are relatively inexpensive and have a high ROI when it comes to your data. One weekend, through many tears, I spent many hours looking at tons of pix and watching videos of my dog who had recently died. I was so happy to be fortunate to have taken lots of pictures of him and taken videos that were uploaded to my Mac. That weekend I told myself to make sure to go and purchase a portable HD to backup everything sometime during the week. Lo and behold, Monday morning I turned on my laptop and Google Chrome was frozen and would not close or force quit. After rebooting the laptop, a blue screen of death signaling some HD malfunction had occurred. Long story, I learned a doubly painful lesson that you need to have a real backup plan in place. Don't lose your data nor precious memories stored on your computer as I did. Purchase an external HD like this WD and have the peace of mind knowing you are covered in the event your device dies. The cost of the HD is nothing compared to the cost of not doing it.

    This product is small and so far has been reliable. I had to reformat it when I first got it in order to work with both Mac and PC but that wasn't a huge deal. Also, the cord that plugs into the computer and the hard drive is a unique cord, so I make sure I am careful with the cord.

    Great Back Up Protection

    I purchased this external hard drive as a protection against hacking. It is small in physical size, about the size of a deck of cards. Yet it has tremendous capacity at 1TB memory. I copied my computer's entire hard drive onto this drive, and will keep it separate, safe, and detached from my computer. If hackers ever hold my computer hard drive hostage for ransom, I can toss my computer, and resort to my back up hard drive. Any payment to these criminals just rewards their preying on other innocent victims. So... thank you Best by for having this hard drive on a one-day sale for less than $45!
