    I had trouble using it for both a Mac and my Asus laptop. I reformatted it and now use it strictly for a Mac. I haven’t had any problems since.

    You do not have to buy 1TB system when it is cheaper to just buy external hard drive and get more storage for the dollar. A must buy. Going to get another for my wifi network for backup Photos, videos, and movies without plugging into a computer. I can just backup overnight.

    A 2 tb hard drive for $60 was a great price. When plugged in, it stays powered and does not have to cycle up as most usb powered hard drives do. I don't use wd auto back up. Great for storing movies, music, etc. and fits easily into a pocket in my laptop bag. Worth the money

    2TB is plenty of storage for what I need this external hard drive as a safe back up solution. WD provides the software so you can set up an automatic back up schedule so you don’t forget. It will also remind you if the hard drive is not connected.

    This will be the second one I purchased the first one is at Western digital RMA stopped working with all my important data on it and they do not recover data for you and the reason it stopped working according to Western digital the firmware tried to update and logs were missing so because of their software I lost all of my data hopefully this hard drive is betterAnd I noticed the box says made for Best Buy maybe that's the problem

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
