    I use this as a backup device for a server in my office. Works flawlessly. Very good value when it is on sale. USB 3 makes this a fast external drive.

    In the past, I have purchased several WD "books" and "clouds." None of them seem to be worth the time or effort. Whereas this jewel was immediately in the driver's seat.
