    This is a great portable drive for the price point. The drive is fast, so it makes securing your documents and pictures a breeze, consider it cheap insurance should something ever go wrong.

    purchased this for a family member after hard drive failure with no backup. I was able to recover all the data and set up the family member for backups. It was easy to do.

    The drive comes with 3 free software applications: backup, utilities and security. The Utilities program lets you check for SMART errors, and allows you to run a short and long drive test. The security program allows you to password protect and encrypt your drive. The backup program allows you to back up your computer on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. It also gives you some control over what gets backed up. In my opinion, you can’t really go wrong getting western digital. In my experience WD sets the standard for quality and reliability.

    As today's (C) drives are separated from the (D) drive and I use a lot of memory for animated videos. Spending the extra money on the 2TB instead of the 1TB was well worth the price.

    I HAVE to have an external backup of my work. I have lost 3 hard drives and the backup saved my skin by allowing retrieval of lost data. You just plug and play, that's it.

    After buying a 1TB version of the same drive a year ago to use with my XBox One and being 100% happy with it, I did not hesitate to buy this 2TB unit for my PS 4 Pro.
