    Had difficulty installing software because I already had WD Smartware installed, which DOES NOT WORK on this device. It's not well documented. After you get it figured out it this is a good device.

    I had geek files from old laptop to this to keep new laptop running quick. I was told they would all look the same, but NO. A bit cumbersome to save to this device, but not terrible.

    Maybe it's because my computer doesn't run Windows, but I've had a horrible time with error messages and the convoluted maze of required programs during the setup process. Everything was going well for a couple days. Eventually, though, it became a paperweight. On the bright side, it seems more reliable at that than backing up the contents of my MacBook Pro. (yes, I formatted it and did everything I believe was necessary to ensure its functionality from setup on)

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
