    The drive performs as expected and at a great price. But I am extremely disappointed in the backup software. My previous WD had software that continuously backed up files as they were saved, This one only offers three schedule options and to make things worse I have yet to see it do so automatically. I have it set to a daily backup at 1:00 p.m. I have to initiate it manually even though i have the computer turned on at that time. Be prepared to backup manually. This is the first purchase that I did not rate @ 5 stars.

    This external drive is easy to use, and works well to back up files quickly. We used it to transfer files from an old laptop to a new laptop, and it worked perfectly. We were very happy with the purchase.

    I really don't know what you want me to put here for a review. I mean, it's a hard drive. Not a whole lot to review unless it's DOA out of the box. It transfers and stores files like it's supposed to... yay!

    This little gadget works great for my boyfriend's PS4. It adds a lot of extra memory and is small which is good so it doesn't take up too much space. The price is also great considering it has a lot of memory space. I will be buying another one soon for my PS4.

    Bought a newer MacBook Pro and needed an external hard drive to transfer my files from my old MacBook to the new one. This one was a great price and easy to use. Save the files to time machine through the hard drive and transfer to the new one.

    Super easy unit to set up with all software you need included. I set it to back up every night and no longer worry about losing data even if my system crashes. Small enough that you forget it's there.

    Quick, plug and play external hard drive. It is as easy to use as any thumb drive, only it has a lot more storage. It is fairly small and light weight. Good deal for the price.

    Works great for storage, I use it to store data I don't want taking up space on my pc. I have not and do not plan to use as a backup for my PC so I can't speak on that. Very fast for storage. I can play music, videos etc. very fast with this drive. I have only used it in USB 3 port. i don't know about using it in USB 2.

    Needed for my PS5. Ran out of space and had to delete games to install new one. Having extra space allows to store more games and runs great off the hard drive no issues or slow time loading.

    Bought one for each daughter as their MacBooks don't have much storage. Both girls said they work great and help out a lot. We did have to return/replace one it just didn't seem to work out, but Best Buy took it back no problem and replaced it.
