    Love the small footprint yet versatile hard drives. Simple connection and you can reformat to your type of computer operating system, i.e. Windows or Mac OS.

    What can I say, looks expensive so find it on sale. Picked red because I like the color and I am able to distinguish from the black one I use for another computer.

    This replaced a much clunkier 256 MB brick that I had to plug into electric power plus my computer's USB port. I'm going to buy another one for my partner's machine.

    Backup software is no longer valid, so be prepared to spend some time with customer support if you don't already know how to set up a backup in WIN10. Otherwise, the drive works great.

    While the device is straightforward I'm not happy with the fact I have to have separate software on my machine. The WD software wants to pop-up every time the computer is started.

    Its a hard drive, not much to say on it yet, but I was frustrated when I was installing the app on it. It gave me the choice to share data or not, I prefer not to on these things and it asked if I was sure then "experienced problems" installing it. I tried a few times and then gave in and said yes to sharing info part of it, surprise surprise it worked a charm! Just a small thing that reflects how the company works with data retention.

    Overall it is great but somehow it broke too fast. I think it needs to be sturdier. I think people might have different story but with me I have different experience. Don’t take my words for it and decide if it is right for you.
