    We have several of these from a few years ago and could not believe how much smaller they have become. Can't wait to replace all our big, clunky external drives with these sleek new ones.

    Perfect for what I need. I was looking for ample storage that didn’t break the bank for a dedicated Plex server.

    This small, very portable hard-drive does not disappoint. It's quiet, cool to the touch, and moves data like a dream... This is a good back up drive to have in your pocket, front pocket, I might add.

    I have had 3 WD hard drives over the last 25 years. The first one was outstanding, it did its job for 25 years. I purchased a second in 2010 to go with a laptop. It failed to function after 3 months and was returned for a full refund. This third one was to replace the 25 year old that finally died. It never function properly and now has been returned after 1 month.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Allot smaller then I thought it would be. Which makes it even easier for travel. I do recommend a carrying case when you get it as it’s so small and we all know people who drop cell phones. Good deal.

    My son needed more memory on his PS4 and I was told by GameStop I'd have to buy it from there. They wanted $100. I went online and ordered this one and it works amazing. Great value for the money.

    I'm using this on my PS4. The transfer rate is fast. The size is great and stays out of the way. USB powered which is nice. Was plug and play out of the box. The PS4 formats it to what is needed.
