    When you need a backup for your data from the main computer this is the ticket! Very convenient, easy to transfer files. Tons of photos, videos, word files. You name it. I have peace of mind knowing that all that information is stored in a safe place. password protected!

    Needed this in order to pull photos, videos, documents from my old computer so that I'd have them safely stored. And even though thats thousands worth of photos there's still a loooot of space left on the drive itself.

    WD external drives are high quality. Good transfer rates. Accurate transfers. I like the small size of this drive as it is easy to carry in my purse or tote. Great color too.

    It was a lot smaller than I was expecting which was actually a plus. It is light and easy to store. It works as expected and is a great tool to reduce memory usage on my personal laptop.

    Working just fine. Yes, huge-capacity hard drives can hold more, but if one fails, you love a large number of files. Ever since that happened to me, I've been using the smaller hard drives.
