    This is a great price and value. I use it for Time Machine for my new MacBook Air and it works great. This is a good size if you want to travel with it and limit the weight you have to carry.

    This portable hard drive is generally good, excellent for data storage, there is a lot of space, just be careful when you use it, if it falls or get hit could be permanently damaged. Color is nice as well. Recommend.

    I haven't had it that long, the reason for 4 stars, since I haven't had enough experience with it to know how it will hold up. I backed up a bunch of files on to it & successfully copied files off of it onto another computer. I'm hopeful that it will continue to work well into the future for longer term back-up.

    We've gotten several excellent portable hard drives from Western Digital over the years and this one was equally outstanding. It transfers data seamlessly and fast. It's very dependable.

    I know it is not the absolute best but it does the job and strike a good price/quality balance. This one was apparently formatted for PC, it was a bit of a drag to re-format for Mac, we are supposed to be given the choice on a new device...

    Previous computer had a larger hard drive. This inexpensive 1TB external hard drive was a wonderful solution suggested by Geek Squad member. Takes up very little room, about size of deck of cards. Works well.
