Not intuitively obvious
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have several older models of Western Digital, and NEVER had any problems with any of them. With this new model, have had FITS on even trying to implement its "features". I forcibly just created a Folder and copied my data into it as backup. On older versions, the "Unlock.exe" was obvious and easy. With this new one, you WILL have to read the manual to figure out what to do. Why can't WD make it intuitively obvious, instead of needing to "install this, install that, do this, do that". I had to print out the manual of 40 pages and go over the manual as I installed WD. K.I.S.S. Why is it so difficult for vendors, software AND hardware, to figure this out??? Not that hard to figure out.

A required purchase.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the size of modern games, this is a required purchase. I use it as an add on drive for my Xbox one X. Only thing to complain about is the LED light constantly blinks even if the Xbox is turned off. I cover it with a piece of tape.
