    I am very pleased with this external hard drive. It is a great way to back up my computer, and even move big files I don't want to get rid of, but don't really want them taking up room on my hard drive.

    For the price ($60) it definitely worked for me being that I needed an extra external and decided on a 2tb hard drive. Great hard drive with a ton of storage means that I transferred an entire 1tb and still have plenty of storage for the future.

    I use this to backup my MacBook periodically, it back up automatically works well. It fell off of my table when the dog got wrapped around the cord and fell on to a tile floor but still kept working!

    I have a lot of files of embroidery designs I have done. I attached the drive to my computer and it immediately started backing up my designs. Thank you to the gentleman in the Computer area for the advice to buy the drive.

    Having an external HD is a must in what I do. WD as a brand has always done a great job. This one we actually used as the external storage for the XBOX One - and it has worked great!

    Purchased this to give my Xbox One X some extra space. Game Pass used up the console’s storage pretty quick. This drive is small, easy to setup and works flawlessly. I have no complaints. It give the Xbox extra space and tucks out of the way.

    As I’ve seen with all the WD drives I’ve bought, this one is doing great a year later after moderate use. Such great products, and reliable. I still backup data to the cloud as well, but love to have local physical backups like this.

    It's amazing how small these backup hard drive's are now these days. What's also great is that they don't need an external power source, drawing all power from the USB-C connection. Western Digital makes a nice product.

    While the WD included software is fine, there was no problem immediately saving multiple GB to the drive direct from Windows! I could back up every device in the house twice with the available space on this thing, fantastic!

    I bought this as an external hard drive for my son’s PS4. It was easy to hook up for extra storage. It does take longer to transfer the games and files versus an internal hard drive but this is more cost effective.
