    Bought this a year ago and now it unreadable. That sucks. Lost a day of work - will see if Best Buy will cover the cost of extracting the data from it.

    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.

    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.

    Instructions for setting up this device were not clear. It did not save my files properly. I contacted the companies support via chat. I tried to explain the issues that I was having and the only thing they would do is route me back to their online instructions which were not clear, and the reason I contacted them in the first place. I would not recommend this product to anybody and will never by one of these items again.

    I may not recommend this external USB...i bought a new HP Spectre 13" laptop. I hooked this portable hard drive and the Spectre did NOT automatically recognize the hard drive...one has to go to the process of Settings and configurations. the WD developer should make it easy to have a plug and play feature and NOT for the consumer to figure it out and the instructions are NOT simple...
