Customer Ratings & Reviews

When I went looking for this I debated between this portable hard drive and some thumb drives. The portable hard drive won out because of the MUCH bigger capacity. The drive does take up more space than a thumb drive but with the increased storage space this to me was a no brainer. Western Digital makes great drives. If the physical size is not an issue I would going with the larger capacity hard drive but if you need the portability of a thumb drive due to size limits then perhaps a thumb drive will suite your needs better. As I say this hard drive works better for me. Perhaps it will for you as well.
