    Excellent, a True Work Horse, for Repetitive, even multi-week non-stop use. This Pro-level Drive absolutely Indispensible (WD is my Brand of choice, for Hard Drives. A few years ago, (believing SDDs would be better), I'd bought a Sans Disk 500 Gb USB Drive. It crashed on me, within months. I've had to re-formormat it twice, already. Upon further Research, I've learned a n Interesting Fact: "When Hard Drives begin going bad, they still give you time to either rebuild it, and/or move the Data from it, to another. (at least, that's what I've been able to do). Conversely, according to the source I found on the Net, (a Forum), I learned that SDDs do not give give you such a warning. Such is what happened to the Sans Disk. CONCLUSION: NO SDDs for me. I'm Happy with my five (5) "Western Digital" (WD) Hard Drives I've had, over the years. I buy no other brand.

    I was having problems with my Mac Mini, and I needed an external backup. Drove out to Best Buy a few minutes before closing, and with grave doubts, I explained my problem and asked the sales rep which drive I should buy. He pointed me to the WD Easystore. Large capacity, low price, good performance. I connected it to my Mac, formatted it for Time Machine, and it has worked flawlessly ever since.

    WD external hard drives have always been my go-to for backing up my home and work computers. Haven’t had one fail in 20 years. And on sale it’s a better deal.

    The included software from WD is not being supported shortly so I needed to find, download and install a version of Acronis sofware to set up my backup regimen. I'm sure newly produced hardware will have the newer software available by default. Otherwise, a quality product by a quality manufacturer.

    True plug and play. Appreciate that it does not want me to jump through hoops just to get it going. It did the job I needed it to do. WD is a name I trust and the price (on sale) was a deal.
