    During my 10 years in tech, I've only had a few issues with WD products. This, is not one of those products!

    I purchased this for myself years ago and just recently purchased another one for my mom. I love that it's just plug 'n play.

    Not the fastest HD, but I only bought it for storage needs. The only problem I have with this unit is the lack of "ON" indicator. Love the 3-year warranty.

    First unit purchased had an internal hardware problem so had to trade in for a second new one. Worked just fine following the setup instructions, no issues since.
