    Portable Hard-drive is fantastic. It has good safety features to prevent others from accessing without your permission. It's small and very travel ready. So far I'm very happy with it.

    I bought this around Christmas and wasn't sure it would store everything on my computer that I needed to store but it did. I use this as an additional back up and can take it with me anywhere,

    A worthy investment. Most of my drives have been WD over the years, and my longest external lasted over 6 years. Take advantage of the price here as you are getting quality to boot.

    I bought this unit for my wife and hope it will last her long enough to serve her needs for several years. She's only had it for a month and seems quite happy with its performance.

    I think this is a very good value. It's my backup device. It was on the slow side handling the "restore" (my reason for 4 stars) I needed to do with Carbonite. However it got the job done. It also had good independent reviews.

    My fav brand for years. Tried Seagate and resulted unreliable, prone to fails, HORRIBLE and Unacceptable Customer Support, Hidden, deceiving and shaming return policies. Had Seagate lasting within deceiving Manufacturing warranty, stopped running locking thousand of of my photo collection. I worked in IT for years and never had problems with WD products. Do yourself a favor have a couple of WD and make duplicates backups,,just in case one fails.

    I had one that lasted a few years but finally died. I like the design. The lines add some extra grip. I usually just add movies/shows and just plug it into a tv and it's good to go. Plenty of space for so much stuff.
