It is sort of a given that WD makes quality hard drives. This drive is perfect for my needs. I use this drive for back with Crash Plan software. I had to install the WD utilities so I could increase the sleep time to 45 minutes. The bundled software is not worth anything and you should not consider it when looking at this drives price. Also the drive enclosure only stands vertically which I really like but may not work for everyone. One real bonus is that it comes with a USB 3.0 cable which a decent length and quality.

Great buy. Easy to start using. Just like a very large USB Flash Drive.
After I fill this up I will buy another.

This was essentially a 'plug-and-play' device; just hook up to USB and you have 1TB data access for music, pics, or info.
