WD makes good backup drives
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Trust me, you want a backup drive. Hook this into your network, and schedule backups for your computers. There are other drives you can do this with, but WD is inexpensive, and reliable.

Good back up hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good device for what it does. I wish it had a connection for adding a second hard drive, so you could back two drives up in parallel. I do prefer it to the Seagate equivalent version.

Works as it should.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only concern with this hard drive is that it has no indicator LED to show it is on and/or operating. Otherwise, it performs well. If one doesn't mind the absence of the LED, it's a good choice.
