    This is a nice external USB drive for backups. I like the large capacity and portability. You can't go wrong with Western Digital drives.

    It's hard to believe something to small could hold safely so many family memories, videos, music, documents etc. I've used this brand for years and recently upgraded to this larger one after my previous one became full.

    This is my second upgrade to a larger capacity drive. I didn't realize that, by unchangeable default, the drive keeps five backups of everything. I backup my C: so there is a lot of data to store. Just something to keep in mind when deciding what size to buy. My only other issue is that it sometimes fails to backup. I'm not sure if that is a problem with the drive or the software. If I notice that it has missed a day or two I just do a manual backup. I've never had to do a restore from this device so I can't address how well that function works.
