    Does exactly what we needed. Cool bright blue color so it is not easily lost! Will be buying a second one.

    Fast read and write, use one for media and have another 4TB version as an extra hard drive for Xbox One games.

    Much like the free months of Apple Music I did not use the service at all while I had it for free.

    Works very well, though I had to reformat for MacBook. But one that was done, it works great.

    Very thin compared to my current WD 1TB drive, but it feels a bit fragile. Let’s see how long it lasts.

    Works great! I've had it for over a year with no issues. WD is the way to go for hard drives, in my opinion.

    I bought my old external hard drive 5 years ago. I am disappointed that it did not last as long as I hope. The wire got looser over time. It is the same brand as this one. I hope this new one will last longer. With the five years I used the 5-terabyte memory, I used about 600 GB. Did not have a lot of games and just backed up my data for schoolwork and I had memory for plenty of movies. So 2-terrabyte is probably all that I would need.

    Upon looking for a suitable back up external drive, I knew WD had always done Me right, so started there. It’s surprising how very small the actual device is: haven’t used it yet, but am excited.
