Its reliability and competitive price are also frequently praised, along with the included USB flash drive. While some users noted occasional noise or heat issues, these concerns were less prevalent than positive feedback.

    I’m using this on a new Mac Mini and it reads and writes fine, but over time it won’t let me access the files on it. It still sees the device, but not the files. I have to eject and replug in for it to begin reading it again. I’ve reformated to same results.

    I bought this specifically to store my music and pictures in a separate place. After barely more than one year, it died. I lost any pictures and music that I did not have stored elsewhere! This is junk!

    I’ve used this hard drive long enough to determine I’ll not buy another Western Digital hard drive. Consistent problems and have to reboot.

    I never got it to work. It is going in the trash. I am not technically savvy but I have used many backup hard drives in the past. To me, this was not user-friendly.

    Compact, Light, Fast, and tons of storage, and a thumb drive to boot...what's not to like. I've used many WD portable and desktop drives and have been happy with all of them. So far this one has worked great!
