    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.

    Small, quiet, cool and does encryption. 2TB's is a good size for backups or specific data files. My prior 1TB lasted 4 years.

    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.

    I needed a new hard drive to store my photos, movies, and documents. This seems to have good speeds and has more than enough space for what I need. Easy to reformat to exFAT.

    I was looking for a 2 TB external hard drive at a reasonable price and Western Digital was a perfect fit. This drive is very small and light and holds a ton of data. Highly recommended.

    My old laptop is starting to run extremely slow and I’m sure it won’t last much longer. I have years of files and pictures that I don’t want to loose. Set up was easy. I did go online to watch video on set up. I’m glad I did, I was not aware that you need to connect these every year or two to prevent damage and total loss.

    Excellent product. This order, as it turned out, happened in the middle of several days of heavy snow, and the items still arrived on time and in good order.

    The storage is huge compared to how small it is (even smaller than the size of my palm). Plus, it's so light, unlike my old Transcend hard drive....

    I needed a portable hard drive with enough space to download files from my desktop and still have room to spare for the future. This was the best price I could have hoped for.

    Works great. Easy to use. The current iteration of this device is a bit smaller and slimmer than its predecessors. Nice product.

    My old 2 TB drive (6 years old) finally died and could not be used for secondary backups. This was a replacement and worked like a champ, sync'ing with my on-line backup system
