    This is my second WD hard drive. It's easy to use. I take a lot of pictures and wanted to back up my back up. I can keep it in my computer bag pull it out when I need to.

    Had to get this after another hard drive couldn't take the pounding of periodic, hourly backups (Time Machine). This has been running like a champ, no hiccups.

    No instructions on use with product (no users guide). Reference to online users guide did not lead to what I would call a users guide. Had to go to YouTube videos to find some guidance; and since I am not computer savvy, found some of them too dense to comprehend.

    I originally bought this to transfer and store all the saved game play videos on my PS4 but ran in to some issues first this wasn't much of an issue but the HDD has to be formatted to FAT or exFAT to be able to transfer saved gameplay otherwise you can only save game files. Second, this was the major issue, when I finally transferred my gameplay videos when playing back on my laptop some videos weren't able to play and others would freeze but audio would continue to play and some would just completely stop playing couldn't find a solution to why this would happen but I decided to just use the HDD to store photos and other files from my laptop so overall wouldn't recommend for storing your PS4 gameplay videos but has worked great for pictures and PS4 game files

    This is my third or fourth Western Digital drive; my first solid state backup HD. My last three have been backup hard drives and the only reason I've replaced them is because I needed more storage capacity. The software interface has essentially remained the same which makes repeat users like myself be able to get going even faster.

    Wanted to save backup of music on iPods and other devices. Works well. If a device fails and needs replacing this backup will let you restore to new device.

    The product is fine. The service associated with it was not. I sent an email to the individual listed on a handout over two weeks ago and have not gotten a response. That speaks very loudly about how Best Buy feels about its customers.
