    It's great as an external backup or as a general use drive. Not flash-based, but it's cheap and deep.

    Works Slick, but Install Cumbersome

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Once you get past the cumbersome install, the Back up works slick and only backs up what's changed. There was no Quick Install Guide included as advertised (unless it was one line in the Readme file on the disk). The WD Discovery.exe installed apps and utilities, but not the Back Up function, which is the main ingredient. Found a button on the Apps tab to download this function as a separate step. It didn't install the Security function either, but I skipped that feature. Info about basic functions were buried and scattered throughout the online FAQ's. All this was time consuming.
