    I recommend getting more added space to your gaming system. Especially if you have more then 4-5 games. It’s easy to use and very simple. Plug and play

    This was a great value. I use it as a back up for all of my digital production. I would be devastated if my computer crapped out on me or it was stolen. Now I know that I have my weekly backed up material safe on this device

    I love these portable drives. I hooked it up to my XBOX Series X for additional storage. Its great for older games, new games need the internal storage. But you can move the new games to this drive so your not fully downloading again if you want to put a game on hold. Otherwise I recommend these drives to anyone looking for a backup solution. Great for college kids. Or creating a backup image of a computer. Plenty of storage for most users who are worried about a system crash. I have 3 Western digital drives and none have given me issues over the years.

    This is a quality device; well built. It works perfectly. NOTE: Win10 and previous versions do not handle drives this large very well. Your PC will seem to freeze from time to time while the drive is indexing. Because of this I only use this drive for backing up my work. There may be a way to make Win10 behave better with a large drive but, I haven't found it yet.
