    Would have given 5 stars, but cable died on me. Drive still works, but I had to buy another cable to replace the one that failed.

    Being a professional photographer on a particularly busy weekend, I purchased this external hard drive to help me get a little more work out of my weekend. I was easily able to do this by organizing content onto the external hard drive for future use.

    The hard drive in my laptop crashed. I replaced it with this SSD, I downloaded Windows 10 on a usb drive and made a clean install. It reregistered itself along with my Office Suite. Easy for this novice and now my computer is so fast and snappy. Totally happy.

    I have had this drive for more than 2 years now and so far it has been amazing. I filled it up once and then I got it empty and then I filled it up again without any issues. It has traveled a lot even dropped but without any problems.

    Reformatting for Mac (despite packaging ad) failed

    I bought this device to replace a SanDisk Extreme 500 drive which failed after four months. This WD drive failed as soon as I attempted to reconfigure it for Mac OS X High Sierra with the OS's Disk Utility. I have since purchased a different Mac-formatted WD device, which accepted a Carbon Copy Cloner backup and allowed me to boot my computer from the backup drive. Might work for a Windows user, cannot recommend for a Mac user.

    We bought this back up with the intent of using it when I replaced my desktop with a 1 TB HD with a laptop with a 256 GB SSD. It has done exactly what we needed it to do by backing up my old files while having gobs of space for new files. No problems using it at all.

    I had purchased the same portable hard drive for my wife a couple of years ago. We were very happy with it. I needed one now and purchased the same! Easy to install and begin backing up your data! Would definitely recommend to family and friends.....
