    So far, this Western Digital drive has been great. Very fast. I use it on my macbook pro - just reformat it and start using. It seems a little noisier than some other drives I have. Not much, just a little. Also, the cable that comes with it is very short. I love that the WD drive comes with a 3 tear warrantee. I'll give an updte in 3 years to see if it really lasts that long.

    Very easy to carry around and sleek. Works great to connect on PS4 externally. The only negative is you can remove the case and use it internally. But no complaints since it worked on PS4

    Solid portable hard drive

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Not much to say here. It's a solid and very portable hard drive. Data transfers quickly and I haven't had any issues. Just make sure you're not disconnecting the hard drive in the middle of writing to it. And make sure you have multiple backups for the truly important things, as even though this has been a reliable hard drive, all drives will eventually fail.
