    Have moved 2 laptops and Note 9 128gb (at full memory capacity) on this thing and it's still untouched. What I've been needing for years!

    Whenever I need storage I can always count on WD and so far this external HDD has been my go to whenever I need to store critical files and also I needed encryption which is the main reason I got this product. Any external HDD that has hardware encryption is a MUST because security is so important as you do not want anyone to see your important files. Only thing that might concern me is the caddie as its a hard plastic somewhat reasonably stable but with any HDD you must be gentle with it because of the platters and spin header so make sure to be careful with it.

    Sure it isn't SSD but still very fast read and write and small format. Thinking of picking up another for the spare xbox to install more games.
