    I was actually pleasantly surprised at the file transfer speed for being an external hard drive in the smaller 2.5” size. Not sure what the rotational speed is, but I used a large 3.5” external drive with 7200rpm speed and this one was the same if not faster at transferring files. Very silent as well. Have used this to transfer large file sizes very well.

    My husband brought in a picture of what he wanted and the employees found it and were very helpful. We had purchased a used DVR that needed an external hard drive. It was easy for him to install and has been working well.

    Who doesn’t need storage? This is great for storing files and photos quickly and it’s compatible with Apple devices. Small enough to carry or conveniently store away safely.

    I have had an old WD HDD since 2007. It used USB 2.0. The WB easyStore is smaller than back then and uses USB 3.0. It downloads files faster for backup from your PC or Mac.

    My Desk Top hard drive fried and I had a very good laptop to use so the Tech Team saved my data from the Desk Top onto this Hard Drive. I didn't lose any of my Turbo Tax data or work data. Plus, I have a ton of room to back up my laptop on.

    I only had the store do a download for me because they thought I might lose stuff that I had saved. They told me it would take a lifetime for me to fill this one up.
