    I needed extra memory for my Xbox one. It was reasonably priced and a lot smaller than most I have seen. I also don’t have to plug this one into a power source like my son does his..

    Essentially the Western Digital is a reliable and easy to use external backup storage device.. USB 3.0 is sufficiently fast to allow a complete backup image in a reasonable time. leaving it hooked up, it automatically replaces the image. This is good protection against internal Hard drive failure. I recently had to replace and clone a HDD. The process worked well and the image being recent, made for minimal work on my part.

    Revolving Back-up

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Security experts recommend having more than one copy of important computer files and data. By using this as one external harddrive, it is easy to rotate through each subsequent back-up on a different external drive. And, it is convenient that Western Digital offers them in different colors. The color coding facilitates the rotation through back-ups, and by sticking with one brand, the ease of use is better.

    My old laptop is okd but runs very well. The hard drive is nearly full, and I needed more room. I was heading to a dissertation seminar in VA (from IL). It struck me that I needed more room so I stopped a Best Buy and bought this little pocket sized gadget that extended the value of my very old system. Easy to use takes up no room and there is plenty of space for my Journal articles and dissertation.

    I bought this because I record my gaming sessions and it's not good to record to the same hard drive you're gaming on. Now I can record straight to this drive with no drop off in performance. It's fast enough to handle it and quick to access. I also store my edited videos on it which saves a lot of space on my pc hard drive. Since I don't use it for anything else the automatic sleep mode is handy.

    I'm afraid my laptop is going to die in me any day now so I went out and bought this HD. I backed up my entire laptop in a matter of a handful of hours. Works nice.

    I bought this product specifically for the PS4. I had read last month that Sony was releasing a update that aloud you the ability to store games and not just saves on a external drive. As so this news dropped I ordered this bad boy. its sleek exterior and light almost match the PS4 in a way. so naturally it looks great next to it. when plugged in. This drive is fast and easy to set up and performs wonderfully.

    I’ve had several external hard drives. This guy is pretty big. I do like the textured half of it. Looks tough. As for storage, it does hold a bunch of mp4 files.
