    I got this external hard drive to hold my photos and so far I've had 0 issues! It had a crazy amount of space and its so compact and light! I normally keep it constantly plugged into my desktop but I love that I can take it on the go if needed! Definitely recommend getting an external hard drive!

    Works great. Easy to partition. Great for both temporary and permanent files. So much space I backed my entire old computer onto a section of the drive and still had room for my new and duplicated files.

    So far, fast and reliable. Does exactly what I need. I use it for data backup. No problems connecting windows 7 sp1 or windows 10. For whatever reason the red one was a little more expensive but it was the last one in store and I needed the drive that day so I bought it.

    Great, compact drive! Worked well and is super small. Very handy for backups and then store in a fire/water proof safe! I didn’t install the back up software as I dint need it. A few years ago, I tried WD back up software and just wasn’t a fan. Might be useful if you’re not savvy with backing up.

    Bought this to back up an entire computer's worth of data - about 450 GB. The transfer started reading it would take 30 minutes and then quickly ramped down and overall only took five minutes. Super fast for a device that cost over $100. And plenty of room left over for future backups.

    This HDD is just the perfect size to use anytime. The drive is sleek and feels durable.it has good wrote speeds and as a bonus it has hardware encryption. Which means you can password protect the drive. Overall, for the price it's hard to find anything better. Highly recommended.

    I bought this for my son who is in university. This device is light and slim it can fit in any laptop bag. It has ample space to store all his documents, term papers, and digital files. Great for backups. The SSD drives are better and faster overall but much more expensive.

    portable and decent incapacity (2TB). this one has a spinning disc. Not SSD. I prefer the Solid State but the price is hard to beat on this older style. For me, 2TB in a fully portable device that is powered by the USB cord is as big as I go. I have seen 4TB but that is a lot of juice and momentum for a USB powered drive. These are great but don't let the cat knock them onto the floor.

    Great little hard drive. Working well so far with my Macbook Pro as a bootable external Windows drive. Was able to format it and get everything installed with no issue. Size-wise, it is a bit smaller than my phone and just as thin.

    I unfortunately reformatted my old WD Hardrive so had to get this one, but with two more TB of Storage. WD Hardrives are easy to use, the speed of transferring data is good, and I have already moved all my Photos, Videos and Music within a few hours of copying and pasting, good hardrive
