    It works as it should. Easy to hook up. Plenty of storage space. They were out of black ones, so I got a red one. Too bad it cost $5.00 more!!

    WD drives have shown high reliability which is critical for your backup data. Good performance and reliability measure up. Great device for the price.

    It works great. I'd give it a 5 if I could figure out if the reason it keeps disappearing from my Dish Network DVR is because of a glitch in the drive or a glitch in their service.

    Nice pocket drive. I gave 4 stars because I assume it is a spinning drive. If it were SSD I would give it a 5. I’m not a fan of the WD backup software but I just use what’s built into the computer and it’s fine. Or do a manual backup if you prefer.

    Great storage device. Only drawback is inconsistency with password. Sometimes ot does not require it to open the files and other times it does.
