    I dropped this on a hard floor the first day I bought it. I dropped it again on a hard floor the first time I tried to use it. Finally, I dropped it when I took it back to Best Buy so that their geek squad could transfer three computers worth of information onto it. It is not even 20% full And yet contains all the back up information from three computers including thousands upon thousands of photos. It is doable and just the right size.

    This external HDD has a good storage-to-price ratio, made even better if you occasionally catch it on sale for less than $100. It's plug-and-play nature makes it easy to use, and the USB 3.0 cable with a supported USB 3.0 port makes transfers quite fast. I've been able to transfer over 100 GB's worth of data somewhere between 15-20 minutes.

    Working well as a backup drive for my Windows computer. Took some time for the initial backup to copy over all the data, but after than the incremental backups are fast (less data to transfer). Slightly smaller footprint than my external USB Seagate drive, but maybe not unexpected as the Seagate drive is older and newer hardware is generally more compact than older hardware. So far it is performing well and I am pleased with the purchase.

    This is the second WD Easystore External Drive that I've purchased. The first was for the family's PS4 and it worked beautifully. Plug and play. Literally. This one I bought for additional memory to store GoPro videos on. It was easily formatted for an iMac using the Disk Utility application. Files transfer quickly and are recalled with equal speed. It's a quiet drive that takes up very little space and does the job it's advertised to do.
