    Nice storage space but not as useful as I hoped. My issues are more with the computer interface.

    I've bought many external portable hard drives. This one works great but I had to access western digital site to download the drivers, even though when I plugged it into my computer, it said the drivers completed install and device is ready for use.

    I always trust WD. Easy Store is very thin and nice looking but I had no idea I have to pay for NTFS service. Its 19 per account and kind of annoying. I like the old way of just plug in and use.
