    I love that I was able to save everything from my old laptop to this external hard drive and not worry that it was lost. I would definitely recommend.

    Purchased this for backing up all my husbands music and our pictures. Is a great idea if your computer ever decides to crash.

    We bought this to use with our airtv program. We now can record shows on this and watch them back, skipping through the commercials. It works very well.

    A must have for hardcore gamers. A lot of games have huge save files and this prevents you from running out of room on your PS4 or Xbox

    No problem out of the box and works as needed. It has a different cord set so that could be an issue if lost but overall happy with the purchase.

    We purchased 7 of these drives for an archiving project, and haven't had a problem with any of them. They have been a great value both in reliability and low-cost.

    I think these WD portable drives are great. I have now purchased several after owning this one. The price was great and they store a lot. I may get more as gifts.

    It is ideal for backup of information, to have no driver use never stops, with what makes it a disositive of regular useful life time. It is not recommended for extremely important data. Given its low cost, I recommend it

    I used it to back up my PC about once a month. It does the job at a reasonable speed with no fuss. Can't really ask for more than that from a hard drive.
