    This will be the third of this size I bought for my wife. She is into digital scrapbooking and stores years of stuff on these. She copies to 2 at a time and has many redundant. In 8 years only had 1 WD go bad, lucky the files were still on her PC. Since than she has multiples of everything.

    Easy setup and install took only 7 minutes. Portable and huge amount of storage available. Should probably be 4.5 instead of 4.

    My cousin needed a HDD for the storage of data while using his PC that just so happens to deal with the computation of… you guessed it, data. This provided him the space he needed for the digital needs he could possible find himself… needing.

    I switched brands, after my old portable hard drive died whilst on the job, taking with it into cyber afterlife some much valued data. I ordered its replacement from Best Buy and was delighted with the speed of delivery. So far, so good. My new hard drive has a much larger holding capacity and I'm hoping that it will have a longer life than its predecessor.

    I'ts great, but I HATE it when people say it's a certain size when it never is. This drive is actually 4.5TB which is 500GB shy. To me, that's a LARGE discrepency. I'll still leave 4 stars as it was fine for me, but by a hair. I had 4.4TB of storage to transfer. It was close.
