    Great little drive

    I purchased this drive because my pc drive was getting full. I have 2 other 2gb drives and decided this new one was perfect for my travel drive, so I moved some data around and repurposed another drive to take the overflow on my pc. This new drive is thinner, lighter and seems faster than my others.

    Easy and quick backup for my daughters MacBook Pro. She had a ton of videos and pics from her dance studio and this $60 investment frees up a TON of space on her laptop! iCloud wasn’t an option because we needed a permanent move/backup and she’s sometimes offline, making the portable external drive the best option.

    Bought this to store my DVD collection after making backup copies of all of them so I can get rid of them. Plug and play, user friendly and works as advertised. Adding my CD collection and possibly some ISO's of favorite video games. No sense keeping the discs as the computers nowadays don't have optical drives anyore.

    This is very easy to use. I plugged it into my laptop and it had no issues recognizing it. I bought the hard drive to have 1 place to store ALL of our photos from phones, old computers and digital cameras. Since it has 2TB of storage that should not be a problem! I am able to copy/cut and paste easily to the portable hard drive.

    This external hard drive doesn't disappoint. It has fast transfer speeds and plenty of capacity. I have several laptops and one development desktop that share files and having this device to backup important files to gives me peace of mind. Western Digital has always been a great brand for storage devices. It seems that their quality continues.

    Great backup and file storage drive. My girlfriend has the new Mac mini with only 256gb of storage, but as a 3D designer she needs lots of storage space easy to access for work. This thing is killer, even being a regular hard drive and through USB she is able to work on her files straight from it with no issues.

    Easy to use, holds lots of data and is fast when searching for saved files. 2TB is a huge amount of storage and should be plenty.

    If you take a ton of pictures/videos like me, you need this! My phone, iCloud, and google storage have all been maxed out for awhile now. I finally bought this and have been able to free up space while back up all my memories! Super easy to use and I will definitely buy again if I need more storage.

    At 2TB a lot of storage for very little cost. Easy to format to my iMac, but had to get instructions online due to lack of detailed instructions in the box. Have only had it for a week or so, but so far good performance.

    So far so good, as I haven't had any problems. I backup my Photos in there original file structure as well as using Photoshop elements backups files, so if necessary I can restore the files, tab and comments with a bit of history, a great little device. For the price it can't be beat.

    This has a USB connection to connect to a converter to my MacBook. I formatted to MacOS using the disk utility. Then I was able to connect Time Machine and now have current backups.

    This external hard drive is much smaller than the one we previously owned, so it requires little space and should be easier to travel with. The connecting cord is shorter, which means the device must be closer to your computer. It is also recommended (if we understood the directions correctly) that it is plugged in at the front of a CPU, instead of the back. Our previous one was used for our desktop computer and had lights on it to indicate it was operating, This one does not have any indicator lights on it. So far it works well, and we are pleased.
