GREAT external hard drive. I use it as a portable backup of my files while travelling. I like the 4 rubber bumps that protect it from vibrating itself to death

It started making some clicking sounds, but I just needed to install the drivers, which you can't just find on their own. Otherwise it works fine.

Very poor-from the delays in info from Best Buy on shipping to the way it was actually shipped, bouncing around inside a shipper box without ANY padding or protection (see pic). On the drive, it is NOT PNP (at least in my case). Errors were given from their site when attempting to download the program, then the install did not work as described. It could not find the drive after several attempts and restarts. I had to search their site for answers, then later having to contact customer service to be told they think it's a Windows issue. I notice quite a few people on their site had the same issue. Do I really trust my backups to a company that cannot even provide reasonable software to begin? I'll never buy another drive from Western Digital. Would I order from Best Buy again? Certainly not for any electronics, considering the way it was received.
