    This external hard drive has worked great for me. It is easy to use and has handled my storage needs. In addition, the staff was very helpful in determining my needs and in selecting which product was best for me. I would recommend this item to anyone needing an external hard drive.

    I bought this for my son who is in university. This device is light and slim it can fit in any laptop bag. It has ample space to store all his documents, term papers, and digital files. Great for backups. The SSD drives are better and faster overall but much more expensive.

    Great, compact drive! Worked well and is super small. Very handy for backups and then store in a fire/water proof safe! I didn’t install the back up software as I dint need it. A few years ago, I tried WD back up software and just wasn’t a fan. Might be useful if you’re not savvy with backing up.

    portable and decent incapacity (2TB). this one has a spinning disc. Not SSD. I prefer the Solid State but the price is hard to beat on this older style. For me, 2TB in a fully portable device that is powered by the USB cord is as big as I go. I have seen 4TB but that is a lot of juice and momentum for a USB powered drive. These are great but don't let the cat knock them onto the floor.

    We needed an external hard drive for our old Wii. This lets us put nearly every GameCube and Wii game made on one little storage device. It was recognized immediately by windows and the Wii, and tucks away behind the game console. Going to buy a couple more for the XBox and PlayStation.

    I bought this item and thankfully its not terribly expensive for the price and the space. It has plently of storage for my PS4 to which i dont play alot of games so for someone like me it is plenty. I also bought this brand because of my experience with another external hard drive i already own from WD.

    This is the first external hard drive I've ever had, and I have no complaints about it. I haven't done any rigorous testing or anything like that, as I am a pretty casual PC person. I've never encountered any problems. It offered me about 1.81 TB of storage, and no complaints about speed really. Still holding up fine after almost two years. Doesn't seem to get too hot, although it can heat up. This feels like a sturdy product, but I try to be pretty careful with it as it is still mechanical. Seems fine so far despite maybe one or two drops from about 3 feet off the ground or so and some occasional transport in my backpack.

    Really helpful, no need to plug in a power cord. I sold my old 2TB passport that used a power-cord and bought this one. I use it for school and personal movies and T.V shows like The office. Would buy another one in a heartbeat but with more storage.

    Very easy to use external hard drive. Could not be much simpler, and is reliable and easy to transport. Slim, light and easy to keep in my backpack when large files or a general backup are needed. It is a great back-up for my work computer.

    I really like the small size of this memory device. It is also very fast. I backup my entire All-in one computer on it. Western Digital is a brand I have trusted for many years.

    Easy to use and lots of room for backups . I ordered this so I could back up all my files for transferring to my new computer. I will continue to use for backups as a way to preserve my files. It’s small and compact so easy to store in a safe or drawer.
