    Very small, compact, easy to install, and back up your computer. Love the fact it is not only backing up the entire computer but if there is ever an emergency, you can unplug quickly and have all your info in one place.

    This is really a nice storage device. Very plug-n-play. All I did was open the box, connect the USB and off I went. Backed up my entire system and all my files and still have 98% free space. Also the compact size, a little larger than an I-Phone, is real nice for travel.

    Western Digital has been my favorite brand of hard drive, internal and external, for a couple decades now. Sturdy, fast, and dependable, I don’t recall ever having one fail.

    Just got the external hard drive installed last night. It is a compact unit and sits atop my desktop computer. I have little available room on the computer desk. I like the size of the unit and the 1TB capacity. I would have preferred a little more information on installation but I did work through the process. I would recommend the unit for its capacity, size, and price. Will have to wait and see how well it performs.

    I needed an external hard drive to hold pictures and files. The price on this for the amount of memory was excellent. I've transferred everything I needed to and still have plenty of space left over.

    Great value, easy setup and an additional 1TB of storage for my Xbox. Device is small and doesn’t need an external power supply which makes it much better than my last external hard drive.

    Very nice quality and value for a portable drive

    This is a great little portable drive simply styled and glossy black in color but the one thing to be aware of is this easystore line of drives is NOT compatible with WD's Smartware backup software but it does work with WD's more basic included backup software. As with most USB products it is an easy plug and play drive for Windows (Windows 10 in my case) using a standard USB port (3.0 preferred) and WD has some nice software for managing all their drives and integrates nicely with their software. Mainly will use WD portable drive for file backups and worth noting I already run other WD drives in my system.

    No instructions and did not automatically get the necessary software from the web. Figuring out what to download was not very intuitive. Once the right software was downloaded the set up was relatively easy. Someone with minimal computer savvy will have difficulty with this item. Once setup, it appears to work well.
