    This works as described for the most part. The WD software is somewhat obtrusive in Windows 10. Doesn't want to let you remove usb drive for way longer than task manager shows the drive is moving data. Not cacheing. I mean 15 minutes later after a write. Says drive is busy, but no data is being transferred. That said, however, the drive works pretty quickly and is to some degree taking advantage of the USB 3 interface. It (subjectively- I did not measure it) seems to read and write faster in USB 3 port than a USB 2 when the source is faster than it. SATA SSD or USB 3.1 external SSD transfer.

    This is one of many Western Digital products I own. Takes up very little space and runs quietly.

    I have had much better long term reliability with Western Digital drives than Seagate drives. The Best Buy WD EasyStore (Bestbuy only brand name) is working very well. I have it on 24/7 on a server.
