    I typically use larger drives for my storage purposes, but I like these smaller drives to provide my clients with their project files, and it give me peace of mind to provide them with a reliable product that won't fail or lose their data.

    This is the second WD-Easystore External Hard Drive I bought at Best Buy. I bought it for my father. It is easy to install and now I am not worried about all of the pictures he has being lost if his hard drive crashes in the future. Also, the price was good (nice discount).

    The WD-Easystore has worked flawlessly. It provides backup on the road, and additional storage capacity for large projects that would otherwise overwhelm my computer when I am away from my home office.

    When the cloud fails you

    So iCloud filled up like a mug, quicker than you can say “me.com” (that was a thing from Apple, seriously, look it up). As convenient as they make it seem to upload photos and store documents, they also know that people won’t delete stuff they don’t need and will rack up the higher premiums for more storage space. Fight this oppression and get a fast, sleek, portable, and affordable physical storage solution. I won’t even argue about the brand or how it measures up to others: it’s fast, sleek, and affordable, and it keeps me away from plunking twenty bucks a month to store redundant pictures, junk files and stop unknowningly reducing my bandwidth at home. Get this or another one like it, whatever floats your boat, but get one. You’ll be happy you did when the internet collapses for maintaining the cloud so dang much.

    I bought this to go with a small SSD laptop, I have never owned a laptop with no hard drive so I purchased this to use as a backup and to transfer data to my other laptop. Small and compact compared to external hard drives for sure. I would recommend to anyone needing additional backup or storage. At 1TB I won’t rum out!
