    Good value for the money. I needed to expand my storage, and this definitely fit the bill. From my experience, Western Digital drives do not give me the same issues other drives have in the past. Recommended!

    Best external hard drive has a lot of storage space. The price was especially good. I always buy this brand name and I've never had a problem. So far, my older hard drive is not full so I haven't used this one yet.

    Wanted to replace an older clunkier external USB 2.0 hard drive that I had and this was bigger, faster and didn't need it's own power supply. Love it!
