    So Far So Good

    I just got this drive due to running out of space on my 2T drive. It functions via USB-3 in a standard fashion. I have just two comments at this time (and I'll add more later if anything changes). (1) All power to this drive comes through the USB cable -- it does not have a separate power cable -- so it will be a relatively constant drain on your PC's power. (2) the USB cable is only about 18 inches long (at most); in other words, it is very short. If you have a long reach from a USB port to the place you want to put this drive, this drive may not be for you. I'm seeing a lot of reviews on failures. No issues so far.

    I needed the drive to archive my files and picked this up. Overall, I have been happy with the WD portable drives, and have purchased a few of them. My only minor complaint is that I am a bit OCD and wish they would STOP changing the darn cases all the time. I know, silly, but... I bought this thinking it was fully 100% red, but the "new" version is half-red, half-black. First-world problems, I guess... But I reocmmend them. Good quality, Reasonable price.

    Had product for a long time and it still works great. My computer does not have a lot of space to save things, and I also use different drives for different things. One for photography. This one for my stories and research. Makes it easier to find everything. And if my computer ever breaks or gets a virus, I won't have to worry about it since it's all saved on this external hard drive.

    Great to back up all my files in case something happens to my hard drive. Precious pictures, census records from Ancestry, other documents I found about my family that I can share with my family are now archived. Spreadsheets and pamphlets for non profits that I have helped create need to be saved until meetings. I would hate to lose all that work.

    For the price, it works great and it's convienent for extra storage instead of having to upgrade or replace the internal drive for more space. It's plug and play. Easy to use. I highly recommend.
