  • Good value for a backup drive

    Nice basic USB drive for backups and extra storage. A bit slow and the WD software utilities (for Mac OS X) are kind of clunky and of limited value.

    The hard drive works well and also came with backup software but this hard drive isn’t the slim one. It was actually the thick one. I would figure hard drives have developed to the point that they are just super slim.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
