    Works pretty well, transfers are pretty quick on USB 3.0. I didn't like all the software it tried to install when I first got it, but now it has been reformatted and runs like any other storage drive.

    The drive works fine but had some issue when I connected to my powered USB Hub. It only stay connected for few hours then disconnected and restarted. When I connected direct to my computer USB port, it connected all day. You may think the issue can be my USB hub does not have enough power to handle 3 USB drives but that is not true. I tested only connected one drive, it still disconnected and restarted. My other 2 other drives are 3TB and 5 TB, they connected all day without any issue.

    Really fast and the price was great. After the many reviews indicating the HD cost alone, it was a no-brainer.

    Use a few of these to back up and store digital photos. I've been very satisfied with the easystore drives. The WD software allows you to back up your whole system or select files and folders.

    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!
