    Western Digital has always been one of my go to companies for storage. While this device functions decently, the software that can be installed to use with this product is useless. Depending on your computer, it may have issues reading Microsoft Office documents directly from the drive. Id like to say this is a computer configuration issue, but it is simply the vendor accepting the manufacturing of poorer storage standards these days. Drive will store youre documents, but nothing special or great about it. Would rather look around at other drives in the future to avoid the bloat and document reading errors.

    They're great as long as you don't forget they are electronic devices that can and will fail, especially if you drop it on your hard tile kitchen floor, found in most modern homes. I look forward to the day that someone creates a storage device that I can drop kick a hundred times and my data remains intact.
