    Had to purchase this because my 2015 All In One Mac “wasn’t” compatible with the new update system. Still not sure how to take or put things on it.

    I installed this product after previous external hard drive died. When I tried to open documents or photos on it, it said I needed an app from the play store. Also, it copied items 4 times, all with different addresses. I tried to restore back to before I installed this drive and that was not successful. I even lost 11 folders of pictures. I am totally frustrated and would not recommend this product!

    Ordered online. Opened box, and only document was multiple language legal document. Took me quite a long time to find internal documents to understand what to do.

    Misleading product images

    I never actually used the drive itself, which I'm sure was perfectly functional, but the product images made the item appear skinnier, like the Seagate Backup Slim. I was searching for a low cost drive that was very slim, for transportation reasons, and picked this up. The images on the packaging also showed a slim drive, but upon opening the product, it was a full 3x the size of a bare 2.5" drive. The images were very misleading and not what I was searching for, so I promptly returned it.

    Unit memory was filled up in 3 days. WD Tech support was a waste of time. Best Buy took it back. I got a different unit.

    Maybe I just don’t know how to use it correctly, but it seems very difficult to find files after being saved. I wanted it to be similar to a USB flash drive but it’s way more difficult. I never really know if things are bing saved and cannot find them easily. I had an older model and it takes forever to find pictures that are saved on it. If you have a suggestion for something that could help me, please respond. Thanks.

    It's fine. I'm using it for photo storage and it seems to work the way intended. It doesn't respond as fast as my older external but that's fine too.
