    This is a great external hard drive for the money. It connected effortlessly and I copied all of my files from my smaller hard drive without any problems.

    I recently purchased an Acer Switch Alpha 12 from Best Buy and then purchased this to supplement its 256GB RAM. It works great powered from the tablets USB A or C port. Transfer speeds are really fast. I also use it with my Macdook Pro via a powered USB 3 hub. Again, works great. I have had great experiences with WD drives in the past and expect the same from this one. I use this drive primarily for archiving files, but it also functions as a media source for movies, no problem.

    I have tons of memory cards. Someone suggested putting it on a harddrive instead of always buying memory cards. Greatest idea and buy ever. Simple to use and small.

    I've only had this HD for a month, so I still don't know how it will hold up. However, I already love its 2 TB capacity, small footprint, cost (on sale) and USB connector. My previous WD external hard drive held only 1 TB of data and it was the size of a brick. And it wasn't backing up my programs and data because its capacity was too small.

    Got this on a sale and it was totally worth it. Its doesn't have the fastest transfer rate but for the price and the size; thats just a minor inconvenience.
