    Not user friendly at all. Difficult to find your files after you’ve figured out lie to transfer them onto the device. It requires downloading of multiple programs. Don’t buy this!

    Not a good external hard drive for computer friendly person, learning to back up. Western Digital support not good at solving problem. Wish I could return item, but 15 days went by before using product.

    The Geek Squad set this up on my computer, and scheduled automatic backups. So far, it shows more missed backups than anything. The whole point was to have my computer backed up regularly in case of "crashes", but very undependable!

    Was explained as easy to use for the Mac. You need to be a programmer to install for the Mac. Buy the Mac version and do not waster your time and be sold by sales people as "easy to reformat from windows to Mac"

    This drive was sold to me specifically for my MacBook Pro. My MacBook doesn't even see it. Documentation on the WD website says to reformat for Mac. I can't reformat because it doesn't even see it.

    The Best Buy associate said that this could be used with Mac, but after multiple attempts to reset it for a Mac, we were still unsuccessful. Would not recommend for Mac.
