    Price was right and size was good. This is actually my second one of these drives the other is a 3 TB. My only problem is it's already FULL! I have a bunch of old IDE drives from old systems of mine and I wanted to consolidate all the old data I wanted to keep. I thought this would do the job. But it's not large enough guess I'll have to get another maybe even two more.

    Easy to set up, and use. Only thing lacking is a network connection so you could hook it up to your network rather than having to connect to a PC.

    I was very happy with this external hard drive and the software included. The automatic backups insure that my files are saved on another drive in case I need them. This is a special edition drive made specifically for Best Buy and priced at a lower price point than the regular WD hard drive. I think it is a great deal. I ended up buying another for my wife's computer.

    I give it 4stars cause of the price. It’s priced well.(Highly Recomend) That you keep it stationery. Some places it can’t be knocked over or banged around. It’s not a very movable hard drive. Moving it around to much will make it start making noise. When the noise occurs you have about two to three years of life left on it. It will eventually stop working. I use a lot of hard drives. This one is not good for mobility. Great buy for home office. Don’t go with out keeping it plugged in for long periods of time. It might die if sitting for too long.
