    This drive is compact and very easy to use. I have mine tucked under my monitor and behind the keyboard so it takes up no desk space. I just plugged it into a USB hub on my desk and I was able to start using it.

    A bit sizable for our needs, but a perfect external backup for Apple’s MacOS Time Machine. Formatted and usable with just a few clicks, gives us some peace of mind for anything not stored in the cloud and enough storage to ensure we can backup multiple copies/versions.

    Take it out of the box and plug it in. It’s that easy. It is user friendly and so far so good. I transferred over 100,000 photos the first week I had it.

    How excited can you get over an external Hard Drive? Western Digital is the leader in external hard drives, and this is a good product. Lots of storage space for the size and money.

    When facing signs of an internal drive failing, I needed something to copy my data to that I could count on. As a computer business owner, I am familiar with and have used WD products for years, so this purchase was a no brainer for me, and Best Buy's Curbside pick-up made it all the easier.
