    It was virtually plug-and-play. installed the backup software and followed the wizard instructions. If you are a typical user (no custom file locations used...aka... a techie) then it sets itself up and you don't even need to worry about it. I'm a techie and tested the backup and restore features to make sure it worked, and it did! I didn't have to tweak a thing.

    I purchased this product as additional storage for my Xbox One and am very happy with it. Read speed is higher than the stock internal drive resulting in faster loads in all games.

    This was a replacement backup as I needed more space. I installed it and had all of my files from the old hard drive in less than 30 minutes. The software that is included with the drive works just as advertised. With Western Digital you can't go wrong. I would get another one and recommend it. Very reliable and that is what you need in a backup hard drive!

    Handy extra storage

    The WD My Books are my old standby to go to for extra storage. I own about ten of them by now and I've only ever had one fail that took a power surge while writing. But like any hard drive you should have a back up to your back up. This one so far as been running along like a trooper. Just plug in and go. I've never tried any of the software that comes with it though. I just use them for storage since I work with lots of huge video files I need to backup.

    So far this product is great. I dont like the software that comes with it that you are supposed to set.up. ever since I set it up ive had to remove it and wait to finishy clients images before I plug it back into the computer. Whem I plug it in...it refreshes ally photos and gets rid of things. Very frustrating. But that is only becuase I set up what it told me to set up. Better to do things manually to back your stuff up.

    I needed lots of storage and got it cheap. It's plug and play, and it sleeps to save energy. It is a bit slow when you wake it up, but not too slow.

    I bought this hard drive to replace one that I had bought a year ago at a competitors store. It suffered a small fall from a desk top to the floor and would no longer work. I use mine as an expanded storage for my Xbox One. I bought this one from Best Buy because of the sale price of $109.99 and a 2 year replacement plan for for 19.99 was a obvious choice because of what happened to the previous one.

    It's hard to complain about a unit that is rock solid and whisper quiet. I bought like this for an Xbox one console and it works flawlessly, no lag or other issues.

    Drive works great. I use it to store video and digital images. Much better quality than the two seagates that I have had. Seagate lasted less than a year each. WD the way to go.
