    I'm using this to back up my computer and it works perfectly with my MacBook Pro. A pointer to new users: In order to format, reboot your computer after connecting the hard drive the first time.

    I bought this WD 2TB drive on sale to replace an old WD drive that had failed. This has plenty of capacity for my needs. I implemented the auto-backup and it works fine, with no noticeable degradation in system performance while doing the backup.

    I use these drives for a customer's backup system. 3 drives rotated each day. These are the only drives we have been able to find to reliably backup their system before start of work the next morning.

    I initially bought it to store my laptop's back-ups and updates, but I wasn't able to. I decided to just move all of the old documents and pictures from my old dell onto it which was a great choice since I need them all to look back on without cluttering my new laptop. For the price and amount of storage, it was worth the $50 I spent.

    Great price for a small, high capacity (2TB) drive with a USB 3.0 interface. I use it for storing backups of my laptop drives, which it does well - and in a small form factor I can easily transport.

    This has been GREAT. Bought it on sale, specifically to expand the hard drive of my PS4. Literally, plugged it in, was prompted to format as PS4 external storage, it was done in about 20 seconds.

    Good product - Not Exactly 2TB

    The WD - Easystore 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black is a very good product. It's more than enough storage to save your files on. When I plugged in the easystore into my computer, however, it wasn't exactly 2TB. My purchase was 1.81. Still, it is more than enough to store my files on.
