    I am buying this product for 2nd time. I have it earlier and found out really useful. Need to restructure it a bit slimmer version.

    Got the best price in town in your sale, and picked it up curbside an hour later. It doesn't get any better! You have very few competitors left in business and it is easy to see why. You were better than all of them.

    Its brand new so I can't speak to longevity...but I've bought WD Passports before and they are my go to portable hard drive. They come with a 3 year warranty. Don't drop them and they will probably last you a long time.

    The problem is probably my lack of technical knowledge but aI'm having trouble getting this hard drive set up as a back-up drive. I had no trouble with the Seagate drive I have been using but this is a different story. I'm planning a visit with the Geek squad to ge it sorted out.

    So far really good product! I was only a little concerned when I was setting up the product for the first time, it got stuck for over an hour installing at 18%. I had to force eject and start the installation of the drive over again, but after that no issues!

    This model comes with encryption software which was the main factor in buying it. It was also on sale and made the decision even easier. I have been using Western Digital for many years and have been satisfied overall.
