    Western Digital is well know for its quality and this external HD is no exception. It's based on Hard Drive, so is cheaper than the actual SSDs and must fit the budget for everyone.

    This is a great value for the price tag. If you’re just storing files, pics & videos, music. I wouldn’t recommend this for 4K videos though because of the read/write speeds.

    Data transfer is lighting fast. One of the biggest benefits is the encryption software that comes with it. You can encrypt the drive to help secure your information and data.
