    The ease of using this is amazing. I've never owned one before for basic fear of technology. But can definitely say that this was a well thought out purchase. Holds way more than I have by any means, & being able to unplug it lets me worry less.

    I bought this one to replace a pre-existing Toshiba external drive that I used with a Tablo DVR. I copied the files over from the old one before letting the Tablo format it for use with the DVR. So far, I like the WD and I've always like them in the past. I did not install the preloaded software allowing it to be used to automatically back up my laptop because I do not keep it connected. I only connect it for use in downloading bank records, tax records ECT and do not want it continuously on the net. I also back up my pictures manually.

    The Geek Squad recommended this external hard drive for downloading all the files on an older tower that crapped out. It made transferring them to the new tower super fast and now backs up all the new files easily.

    I needed something with substantial storage for all of the pictures that my wife takes and her laptop was getting full. Have owned WD drives in the past and actually still have a couple for miscellaneous storage. Great price for 1TB. I'm just hoping that it lasts for a little while before needing to get more.

    ready to use immediately . Just plug it in and copy sensitive data to it. Would have liked if it came with a drive ghosting software so I could have immediately ghosted a potentially failing drive to this drive to swap out in the laptop later. . .
