    I have a problem with a current computer and have been unable to try this. However, I had one of these several years ago that I couldn't use. I never got the computer to recognize it. Obviously, I probably need at least a short( guide to using these things. I hopeI can use it better than the first one I had.

    This has allowed me to store pictures and documents since my computer has a small storage. It appears to be durable since I have dropped it several times.

    Great for freeing up room for storage on computer. We keep all of our photos on it because they take up so much space.

    So simple and easy to setup and use. Just some clicks and you are on your way. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is due to the fact that there are a a couple of redundant programs that if you are not careful, will install. Just be sure to read all the windows and you will be fine.

    Their "WD Drive Utilieties" app does recognize the disk, but it does not show up in file browser of Disk Utility of MacOS. If you are going to use it with Mac, stay away. :)

    I’m getting ready to hand a computer down to my son and needed something larger than a flash drive to offload all my files. This fit the bill perfectly.
