    I use this external drive for my Xbox One . It's perfect. No issues. I have another external WD as well as other brands and have always preferred WD, I will continue with the brand from now on.

    Better than expect portable HDD. Thought I was purchasing an SDD. However have seen little to no delay in copying times compared to SDD's I also use.

    Offers quick and easy transferring of mass files at once from different file locations. The slightly under 2TB is more than enough storage for your documents, mp3, mp4 files. No noise disturbance from this item.

    This external hard drive works flawlessly and backs up my data quickly as well as quickly retrieving data when I need to get it back to my computer. Also love the small size.

    No issues or problems. It is not a solid state hard drive which was not a deal breaker for me but it does have a 2TB drive which is enough for my basic needs.

    Nice,compact easy to use. I had to download some of the apps that actually came with it because they would not load from the unit, probably because they were outdated. The only problem I had was getting it to eject after using it. You may have to shut down your computer (which shuts down anything that may be running it) to diconnect it.

    External Drives are such a small way to save items from your computer. It's a life saver if your computer crashes. I am so glad I have mine just in case. Thanks Best Buy and The Geek Squad.
