    Excellent drive. Lots of storage. Pretty fast. Put all my digital movies on it. I've owned several WD drives and they have all been great drives.

    It's replacing my desktop hardrive since it went out. At first I was skeptical, but it worked out just fine. I wish it had a C-cable so the cord won't go out like the old one.

    This external drive is very sturdy, and has handled the back-pack abuse I've put it through so far. It does tend to heat up a bit when left plugged in for the day, but that might be normal. Also runs lightning quick on my ThinkPad P17.
