    Love this very small trim external drive. Just wish it had a longer connection cable. Had to set it on my computer unit (which is under the desk) as cable not long enough to set on desk.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Great read and write speeds, and a quick setup process on mac or windows. WD encryption software can be a little weird to get used to, but when you do it works well and is hassle free.

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