    Waste of Money

    I bought this external drive to back-up my desktop files. It worked perfectly the first couple of times, then the app began displaying an error message stating that I did not have permission to access the drive/files I was trying to back up. I tried everything I could to resolve, including opening the app as an administrator and searching for solutions online. Nothing worked. This has basically become junk, and I will have to buy another external hard drive. It will definitely not be a WD.

    The hard drive I purchased was fine. The service/assistance I got from the Geek Squad/BestBuy person was not. I was told to take the new Dell desktop home, leaving the old one, to transfer my old data to new hard drive
