    It took me awhile to get it formatted for the Windows XP computer I was using it for. But once I did, it worked great and is much smaller than most hard drives.

    I love Western Digital X ternal drives. I liked the previous version of this one a little more, because it was a little thicker. But this one is just fine, and does a great job.

    This HD for me is going to powered on and off with the xbox 1. Should last a while since less power will be sent to the HD. I am expecting the HD to last a long time. So far so good. No noise

    Easy to install. Just plug & play. Back up easy to do. 2TB should be enough for many back ups. Don't think I'll need more space. Sale price very competitive with other online sellers.

    We have two laptops to backup. So we need a large capacity portable hard drive. This one, with the relative cheap price and easy to use, came to our mine. It works perfectly.

    I have not used the drive yet. It did arrive on time and the price was great. I bought it because it is manufactured by Western Digital, small and appears to be well built.
