    I don't know why the redesigned the case the new design is a scratch magnet. The drive itself is fast at transferring data over USB. If I had one complaint about the drive is the spin up for sleep and at times seem to be excessive taking about 10 seconds to be ready.

    This was the best product I could've ever bought. By transferring all my files to this external hard drive my laptop runs so much better in addition I don't need to bring my laptop with me everywhere I just have to bring my portable drive and hook it up to whatever computer I'm using and it's instant access to all my audiobooks documents e-books and videos . Not to mention if I ever needed to get another laptop or computer in general I don't lose any of my files .

    This churned away as my backup for about a year before it stopped working. Western Digital's warranty replacement was pretty painless and fulfilled in about a week. Hopefully the replacement will last a little longer.
