    Purchased product for the large amount of memory. The backup program is a plus as it offers continuous file backup. However, I was unable to save a system image for my Windows 7 operating system because the memory size (4 TB) was *TOO BIG"!?!?!? Would still recommend it.

    A very good system for backing up files or hard drives. Easy to setup and get started right out of the box. Nice that it has software to setup automatic scheduled backups.

    As a graduate student, I noticed that I had a messy desktop. This hard drive allowed me to clean up my desktop. It also allowed me to stash all of my important articles, documents, papers, and such in one central location, in addition to an online storage service.

    The MyBook 4GB is big, fast and has given me no trouble in the 9 months I've had it. Plugs easily into our three different desktops and two laptops. I'd by it again.

    Not bad bought to expand the storage space for my xbox 1. Decent load times. While I purchase a lot of things from BB this was a lil over priced. 2 days later I found the exact same drive somewhere else.

    Purchased this drive because I need a 3.0 USB drive for backups on a new computer. I have owned it for 2 months and it's working fine. Installation was simple. I find all the added software on the drive to be a nuisance. It is nice if you need it but I didn't.

    These drives are massive. With USB 3.0 you can even run major video games from them without any lag. I've played Mad Max off of one recently! Very impressive.
