    This is a great drive for backups. I backup a few smaller portable drives to this one. Fast and reliable.

    Shortly after installing the new hard drive, I found that it was pulling across the main computer hard drive and basically not allowing Windows to boot up at all. Initially I thought my computer has crashed, but after doing several tests I found out it was the new external WD hard drive override compromising my entire system. It was a very expensive mistake, but thankfully it did not seem to harm my computer once I disengage the device. Took it back to Best Buy and requested a full refund of this very expensive and ineffective product -
