    Got this external because it was on sale and because I have had this brand before and it has done a great job at storing school work and photographs. It hasn’t failed me yet. So far this has done a great job the only thing I needed to do was format the hard drive for my computer since it didn’t have the updated installation for the newest update for my MAC. That was easy to do because WD has a step by step video online about walking you through the formatting process. Super easy and this hard drive is definitely worth getting.

    I have had no issues with this USB hard drive. It serves as great storage for all the tons of games I download. I don't try to run games off of it so I can't speak for whether or not that's possible (depending on the game). It's not designed for that anyway. I use it as storage for my files and it works just fine. I find USB 3.0 to be fast enough for me. Is SSD much faster? Probably, but I'm not spending that kind of money to save a few minutes.

    Works fine, never had a problem with other previous ones I bought, lots of space, good value, fill it up with data and put in a metal container, remember the data is more valuable than the computer.

    Can't beat the reliability of WD drives and having a portable external drive of this capacity that is USB powered is much more convenient to me.
