    The blue is an abnormal design. Bright side is it looks different so it’s easy to set itself apart from my other portable hard drives. This does read n write slower then seagates comparable counterpoint. This reads/writes about 80MB/sec vs 125(sea gate )

    I like the slim design of this product. I can’t comment on the reliability yet, as I’ve only had it for a few months, but it is very easy to use.

    I have a number of these which I use to store documents which I consider to be “important”. I then shred the documents which gets rid of a lot of clutter.

    I got this for my new Mac Mini (2018) and the design is great. Matches exactly. I'm using the drive for my photographs with Lightroom and the speed is great.

    Western Digital drives are simply the best in the industry. You can save a few dollars with other brands but you will lose out on durability and reliability.

    Works like a charm. You can program it so it backs up your stuff nearly every hour if need be. Came quick as a wink via the mail. Love the color too.
