    The external hard drive holds so many files and I was able to transfer all of my many music/video files from my computer to the device very quickly. The hard drive looks sleek and like it has a hard casing (meaning it will likely hold up over time). Overall, the price I paid was very reasonable and the device looks/works very well.

    WD seems to have more failures, but at least the technology is cheaper than the rest. Usually on sale - just be careful with it.
