    Whenever I need storage I can always count on WD and so far this external HDD has been my go to whenever I need to store critical files and also I needed encryption which is the main reason I got this product. Any external HDD that has hardware encryption is a MUST because security is so important as you do not want anyone to see your important files. Only thing that might concern me is the caddie as its a hard plastic somewhat reasonably stable but with any HDD you must be gentle with it because of the platters and spin header so make sure to be careful with it.
