    I recently wanted my computer checked for viruses and other unwanted material. Before wiping everything clean, I wanted to make sure I didn't loose anything important. Hence, backing up on a separate hard drive. It gave me peace of mind.

    I recently bought this to go with my new chrome book. My one issue Issue is I was told it would work plug and play with the chrome book and I can’t seem to get it to be recognized by my chrome book. I checked the western digital website and there is no App that supports chrome book. This Being said I will now use it as a back up for my MacBook Pro.
