I attached this with Velcro to the bottom of my laptop stand, and it is so small that it's completely forgotten about until it's time to save data

I bought this to keep files that I transport back and forth between work and home. Files fly on and off the drive. It’s great.

This hard drive was working great for few months but then after these months suddenly it gets auto disconnected middle of the transfer or running files while the wire is still connected to the usb port of my mac. And after that i tried reconnecting by placing it back to the USB port and it wasn’t showing on the mac. Sometimes it connects sometime it doesn’t, so thats a problem

I purchased this drive and did everything I could to get the drive to mount to my computer. Went to WD website other tech sites and could not get it to mount. Tried contacting WD emailed three separate times and got no response. Ended up returning it
