    Awesome storage for any necessary backup. We are using this to save our job details which include blueprints, drawings, and images. Very fast access to files.

    When I was looking for external hard drives on best buys website, I had used the filter tab to select solid state drives. This was listed in that category. However, no where on the item description did it say it was a sdd, and that is my fault for not being more careful. Ended up buying it and when I first used it to my surprise it was just a traditional hard disk drive. It wasnt a massive let down being as this is fairly affordable and again I should have noticed for the price it was too good to be true. Now to the actual product; it works pretty well for a 2.5" drive. It loaded my games fairly fast and read/write was fairly decent as well. The built in software works great too... During the covid 19 crisis and everyone working from home, portable storage is almost impossible to find locally which was also a battle to find one in stock anywhere. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for affordable storage on a budget.

    This external USB HD works quickly and well. The size makes it extremely portable. I am currently using it as an external drive to run Ubuntu on.

    Need to get this because my old pc had too much data on it to transfer it to my new computer. With 2 Terabytes there’s more than enough room. The color is nice too.

    I use this for Xbox storage and it's perfect. It's very fast, it's silent, and I honestly forget I have it because of how effortless it is to use it. Highly recommend.

    really portable and easy plug and play. Red color stands out and feels good in hand or just put next to your PC. WD quality should last a long time, and 2TB space holds quite a bit

    Small, quiet, cool and does encryption. 2TB's is a good size for backups or specific data files. My prior 1TB lasted 4 years.

    As with anyone who travels or just likes to take photos; I back up my photos in at least 3 places. I have cloud backup, smaller devices for travel, but since I am "old school" I do not put all my eggs in one basket. I use portable and dependable passports for my photos and videos. This was my latest purchase and I used it to back up over 20 years of photos and videos from a computer that needed to be replaced. Many of the photos have been displayed at local art shows and sold as cards and I find this product to be easy to work with.

    I bought this external portable hard drive to replace another one (they seem to be designed to need replacement at a period of around 5 years). It copies files quickly and is very easy to use. I've been please with it so far.

    The WD portable hard drive stands out with a red case, so it looks good. USB 3.0 and downward compatible make it fast and easy to use. The price for 2TB was outstanding.
