    Several problems with this portable HW drive. 1) There was no option to protect data with password as stated on package 2) it would not download or restore data. Possible we got a “lemon” but, based on the 1 we had would Not recommend

    this is probably such a minor fault on WD but no rubber feet on their latest hard drives! such a bummer. also, the most difficult hard drive I’ve ever used - had to partition it for my mac which isn’t a hard but annoying to do!

    You were unsuccessful with recovering my external hard drive that seized. I paid over $1,000 for you to work on it but in the end, I still do not have my recovered files. The process also took a long time (6-8 weeks). So here I am, a couple months later, $1,000 poorer and still no recovered external hardrive.

    I do not use it. I came away from Best Buy with two of these things. One in a blue box, one in a orange box. What am I supposed to do with two? Should I return one for a refund or what? No one has contacted me about my visit to Best Buy. Agent Leia was minimal in her presentation and information.

    Bad Salesman advice, not MAC friendly

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    A salesman suggested this drive for a MAC. He said that It is a plug and play. Well, I plugged It in and got the play part was to down load some software from the drive to the Mac. Ok I did that. Next was to format the drive to the MAC standard. The program need something from the internet and got a message that the web site could not be found. At this point I quit the dance and took the drive back.
