    I purchased the WD easy store portable hard drive about a month an a half. I still trying to get it to working. The first problem is that their is no instructioning to follow. I have try to backup my computer for a few weeks and still won't backup my computer. I waited to long to return this product, now I am stuck with it. I thought I was getting a great idea but like some people say if it too good to be true , you better be careful. Now I have a nice looking paper weight, or put it in my bookshelf as part of my library. Sorry!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • Perfect as a backup device.

    Works great. Because It's a backup device, It's not plugged in all the time. Does exactly what I want.
