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.

Geek squad at the store were very helpful when it became apparent we needed a new hard drive and made sure we didn't lose any personal information by putting it on sn external hard drive for us

Portable and working fine. Easy to carry and worth buying

This external hard drive is at a reasonable price point. The 1TB provides enough storage. I occupy this drive as my PS4's extneral and it works smoothly. Do reccomend.

I was so pleased that this has lasted so long. It is small for transport in an emergency, and compact to sit on top of the desk.

Now I don't have to worry about running space in my pc. This is really great buy....best buy.

Once I got it formatted for the Mac, it worked very well.

Excellent hard drive and easy to use on Mac and Windows.

Works great. Helping my kids add extra storage to their xbox

Decent. I do not like the cables these come with. I have bought a few different brands of externals, these seem to have the better case but absolutely toss that cable.

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.

Worked great to back up my MacBook Pro! Had to format it to work for Macs, but that only takes a couple minutes - just look up “Format external drive for Macbook” and you should find simple instructions)

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.

I highly recommend this for backup for a computer. I needed to make sure all my data was backed up. The devise is easy to set up and use. Very fast backing up.

The Geek Squad is a great technical service. I’m so glad to pay for our annual subscription plan. It has been well worth it.

Good price and works for my needs to off load some files to make room on my main hard drive.

Western Digital makes very good hard drives and this model is very easy to use and portable

so far so good, purchased on sale, couldn’t be happier

I love this thing. I keep it connected to my computer and it's always available and very quick. Lots of storage space to use.

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.
