    This purchase was a required one since my Seagate Hard Drive just failed. I had to pay for recovery of all data, and the WD brand came very highly recommended over others. Works great!

    This external, encrypted hard drive works as I would expect. Run the app on the hard drive to install the software to control the drive and the backup app to setup regular backups.

    I purchased this drive so that I could back up my laptop. It has done the job well and I can save all of my pictures and documents to it without any issues. It does not have a very fast transfer rate, but it gets the job done.

    Easily reformatted to use Time Machine with the Macbook. USB 3.0 works through my hub which is fairly low power, no need to plug it directly to the computer.

    I have always had WD hard drives and only one of maybe 20 ever had an issue. But these SSD portable drives are outstanding.

    I will be using this to store "annual" backups (of photos and documents) to put in my safety deposit box. Good throughput, even from an older (USB 2) computer.
