    Stuck this onto the back of my laptop screen while I was in college so I could get by with a cheaper laptop with smaller storage space. It worked great!!

    Awesome, simple, and practical purchase for someone looking to backup their files... especially if you have a lot of files. 3TB is plenty enough for any avid computer user. The only thing I thought would improve this item would be either a stronger casing or something to give it a stronger physically defending value to protect from drops.

    It's works perfectly I bought it for storing my data from my laptop. It's fast, only thing is that it's a bit thicker then the slimmer versions available, but if you don't to carry much it best at this cost.

    Don't just store your files on your internal hard drive...makes backup copies to something like this. Easy to use and small enough to store in a small safe or safe deposit box.

    I have an older model HP laptop and this won’t work on it. I’m sure it’s a wonderful product, but until I upgrade my P C, it just sits. I was able to download the software but I can’t seem to save to it. I’ll come back and review if ever I get the chance. I like the product but for now it gathers dust.

    Transferred work from my old computer tower to the new one, and haven't filled it up yet! No problems with retrieving work from it, either. I would recommend it.

    I basically use external drives for photo storage. I trust WD external drives and this unit fits the purpose at a fair price. The speed is good paired with my machine, and I am pleased with the unit.

    I needed a backup drive for my computer, didn't want to chance loosing all my pictures. This is a great little drive that you can easily store or bring with you. Just don't forget to get a case.

    This portable hard drive is essential for extra storage. It's easily portable if you are traveling, and has a plug and play format. I have several to store my photos! Easy to use and reliable, too!
