    I love this new portable hard drive. It's smaller than my old one which can only store 100 GB file size. The plastic case seems to be more durable than the old one.

    The need for larger backup files continues to require larger external backup drives. These 2 TB units are simple to set up and run as a Mac time machine backup. Lightweight, thin, yet durable.

    Its larger than it looks because it has 2TB storage in a small package. Handy, reliable and easy to use. I have always technically preferred WD for all my store requirements!

    I have brought this portable hard because my gaming laptop only 500GB and this was my first time using a Portable Hard Drive, however, this is way better then I expected it can play most major PC games on your computer and laptop such as Fortnite, Ark Survival Evolved, GTA5, Destiny 2, Phantasy Star Online 2, and more and it doesn't just store your games, it can store your music, videos, and more, I also like to give credit to western digital for this amazing purchase it really helps me with my Youtube channel.

    This is highly recommended when you have a bunch of pictures or videos you need to store, very convenient and easy to set up, although transferring files is a bit slow, but it is a hard drive. Very useful as a storage saver.

    Western Digital product reliability, price for storage capacity. It was on sale $10 off/$5 more for double storage. I'm pretty sure the best buy brand HDD is WD too.
