    Nice portable unit. Works with chromebook, and any windows machines (10, 7, XP and 2000!) Simple installation: plug and go. Transfer rate is not blisteringly fast BUT not a problem at all. Still find it amazing how such a small form factor has so much capacity

    I got a good deal for it. The size is small so I can carry it in my bag to work every day. I can store multiple pictures with this portable hard drive. It's much smaller than my 500 GB that I bought 5 years ago but the capacity is much bigger.

    Plug in and use. Was so simple. I use to back up family pics and videos on Bluray and regualr DVDs on my PC but that was time consuming and and took a lot of discs to use. I had a harddrive crash 15 years ago and my wife and I lost all our photos that we had stored on it that were our history of our lives from when we first met to getting married. So I always made a point to back them up up discs. P Problem is that new laptops don't have disc drives anymore. So it was either an external HDD or a USB thumbdrive. Well, thumb drives don't hold as much as this does without costing 3x as more. I can easily lose a small USB drive in the house or even around my desk. This was the right price, the right size and easy to use. I bought a protective case to store it in when not in use to make sure I never loose any more memories.

    I have bought a few of these now and they are very handy. The size allows me to store the majority of our pictures and movies on it and use on any machine. Western Digital has been a leader in storage for quite some time and these things hold up very well. The only complaint I really have (and this pertains to every one that I have, roughly 15), they never want to eject well from a Windows Operating System. I usually get the "Unable to eject" error that a lot of others do. To circumvent this issue, it would be nice if Western Digital would release a utility of its own to allow for a fast and easy eject without any issues. Otherwise, you can't really go wrong! Be sure to buy a storage case too to store it when carrying it around or storing it.

    The WD Storage 2 TB is very good. I got a way from cloud storage through windows and have all my information on one storage drive, which is the WD. It was very easy to download stuff from my computer to the WD it actually ran by itself once you given command. The price was just right. I would recommend this to anyone

    This drive is awesome. I especially like that it does not need an external power cable. It simply plugs into the USB-3 port of a computer. It is fast and quiet. It is small and therefore easy to carry. I got a standard carrying case for it too. I love it.

    I purchased this hard drive to use with my PS5 and it didn’t disappoint. Easy setup, and works as advertised. Great for backing up those large games.. I’d recommend this for anyone looking to reclaim disk storage space on the PlayStations..

    I recently had a complete loss of all of the data on my laptop and had to reload everything from scratch. I had all of the data backed up in different areas, but I lost around 6 hours in time getting everything back to where I had it. So I started looking for a drive that I could store disk image files on. This drive has met that goal completely! Extremely fast, super lightweight. The only con I can find is that it doesn't come with a bag to keep the drive and cord together. I had a velvet bag that I got with a 2.5" drive enclosure, so I'm keeping it in that so I don't lose the cord (and it adds some protection from scratches). So far I've backed up images of 3 different computers. I haven't used the included WD software but it really doesn't look that great. I use AOMEI Backerupper (free).

    Great price and fast. Bought for my Mac. The software that comes with this ( NTFS for Mac ) is horrible so ended up uninstalling it and just formatting the drive for a Mac. Works fine know
