    I found this product very appealing for it's features. Especially the Hardware Encryption, which basically makes the hard drive's data hard to impossible to be breached when stolen or misplaced. Can be used for data protection storage with the feature like Password Protection. For $100+ you can't go wrong, it is portable, doesn't require additional AC power to run it, just plug and play!

  • Convert From Seagate

    I've always been a Seagate customer, but my last two portable hard drives quit on me after a one and two years. So, I decided to give WD a try. I've only had this hard drive for a couple of months, but I'm impressed with the ease of use and how quiet it is. It also has nice feel and weight to it. Only time will tell if I will get more life out of this HD as compared to Seagate.
