    The WD external hard drive I purchased at Best Buy solved many of my problems. I have many different categories of data. This new harddrive helps me save and back up everything without wasting space on my computer.

    I was looking for a small portable/external hard drive to supplement the 500gb internal drive on my new laptop. This will mostly live on my desktop, so an SSD wasn't required. Also, it will mostly plug into a docking station that only has USB 3.0, so the newer USB tech wasn't a need. If you will transport your drive regularly I would recommend an SSD; also if you have newer USB ports on your device AND would benefit from the faster transfer speeds; go with the newer tech.

    Great Portable HD

    This is great for storage of photos, videos, documents, etc. It is even a great way to store software. However, I did not find it useful in running the program from the portable HD. This is not to say that it cannot be used that way. It just opens the door for complications that are not time-effective. The design is sleek and very easy to connect to the cpu, the hub, or the TV. It is a great investment, especially when on sale.

    This hard drive worked perfectly. I had no issues with it. I would highly recommend using this drive to store your large files, short films or feature length longer films. This is what I used mine for.
