    This was purchased as added memory for an XBox One. It's easily installed and formatted through the XBox while adding much needed storage for more games.

    I purchased 2 portable hard drives to be used to backup 2 computers. They were easy to set up and backed up the computers quickly and efficiently, without further input.

    Hi bought this because my hard drive died once and I needed something to use as a backup. Knock on wood it doesn't happen again but it is serving its purpose.

    I won't ever loose my files again; no precious pictures lost. This hard drive makes back up so easy that I can do it often and without a lot of effort or time on my part.

    I purchased this to be a backup drive for a PC laptop. I have purchased many WD drives in the past, and appreciated the USB 3.0 speed. The nice color was a bonus. Easy setup.

    I have files I want to backup and store offline (off the cloud). This simple hard drive fills the bill with software for scheduling automatic backups. So far, works well.

    Bought two of these for backup. Transfers are fast and the drive itself seems durable but the micro-USB end of the cable seems like it should be treated gingerly.

    if you can't put your data on a flash drive to work from, then this drive is a good value. its spin speed at 7200 makes it adequate for video editing. that's what i'm using it for via Premier Pro CC. and i've yet to have a WD drive fail; I've lost some LaCie drives otoh.

    It's a USB device, it just sort of works so there's not much to say. The backup software from Western Digital is nice to back your entire PC or pick-n-choose your folders.
