    I use this backup drive in conjunction with an older WD My Book as backup to old images of my computer. Works perfectly and access times when booted to it as a drive is great.

    I have owned a few external hard drives by WD and they never let me down. Remember people back up your files, photos and music you never know when a computer will go out.

    Best Buy is a great deal and easy to work with. I comparison shop frequently and look for the most value for the money spent for my clients.

    I bought this to back up my WD My Book Live cloud drive. The back up was quick and now this in my closet gathering dust, exactly what I bought it to do. Works like a charm.

    Terrific drive that does exactly what you'd expect it to do -- packaged well, nice cabling, great price. I'd trust this one and just make sure you have a cloud backup.

    Just a good product. Had no problem installing and transferred files with ease and sets up well to have the file transfer be automatic. Would recommend it to all.

    I love this product and the software. It backs up files automatically and quickly. I've already needed to retrieve older versions of a file and it was a snap.

    I needed an external hard drive to back up my hard drive. This works great and its backwards compatible with USB 2.0. It was even on sale when I purchased it.

    I use my external hard drive for my Xbox One and I think it works very well but I did have to return the first one because it broke out of nowhere other than that I think this product is pretty decent.

    Once this was set up, it has been a really great addition to my photography business. The set up for MacBook was confusing as it did not come formatted for a Mac despite stating it would be.

    I was informed to purchase the this item from an employee for saving ability. The problem was I had my tablet with me and they said it was compatible and when I tried to connect it it wasn't. Waste of my time

    I was very happy with this cloud drive. Very solidly built and so far no issues at all. Super simple to set up for the small office we are using it at.

    The product does what it's supposed to do. I was a little disappointed that the backup feature only works on the C drive and not my mapped drive for my external HD. But other than that no complaints.
