    Western Digital always makes a good product at a decent price. This drive is no exception and I am using it to store all my music currently. I did load the software that comes with the unit, but I am not going to use any of that functionality personally. To me this would especially good coupled with a computer with an SSD drive.

    I have to have these from time to time to back up files when out in the field doing shoots and videos. When traveling and can't be home having these handy to quickly back up is a must.

    Was able to use it once and seemed to work ok. Trying to transfer information from old computer to new. Keyboard on new HP envy is hard to use because my hands hit the mouse pad and I loose stuff or it moves.

    Had always purchased the WD Model. The Easystore model is the same except it is made for Best Buy. Great Value. Did need to download the WD Backup software but no big deal.

    This was a quick and easy way to expand the storage capacity of my Xbox console. Just plug into one of the USB ports on the Xbox and boom! You have an extra 2 terabytes to store your downloaded games.

    Was getting worried about my old computers 1.5tb secondary drive, with all my media, running out of space. This did the trick, including backing up my pictures and videos from Google Drive.

    It's pretty simple, just plug it in & start storing items. We use it as a backup for personal work projects, for when the flash drive fails. Lightweight & easily transports from one comp to another.

    Drive was a great value. Just plugged it in and copied all files and pictures from 2 computers. Still a lot more space available. Now I have peace of mind about losing data.
