    Very silk. Works great for gaming. I use it to hold all my games. Had it for over a month no issues. Great storage unit for the price. Just plug it in and play.

    I have only just started using this drive, but its size and speeding ratings have been accurate so far. The metal(ish) casing definitely feels nicer than some other drives, but not as nice as some of the more premium ones. Overall, it's a very nice drive for the money.

    I have had a number of external drives - both portable and desktop versions - and really appreciate the reliability and speed of this Western Digital Drive. We purchased this drive after careful research and would recommend this drive after a few times of use.
