    Dependable External Drive

    This is a very reliable brand. I've always gone with Western Digital. My only concern was that I should have bought one with a larger storage capacity.

    Good for external storage, slow write speed

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The drive worked great and set up very smoothly. I used it to back up around 250GB of photos and videos and it took quite a few hours to write it all over. I have had no issues and the price reflects the performance accurately.

    Good Drive for portable backup

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Was looking for a portable drive to backup a hard disk. Needed something that wouldn't require a separate power since an outlet is not always available nearby. This worked well as my portable backup storage for large files.

    I purchased a couple of these as external backup drives and they are rock solid. You can't go wrong with WD as far as I'm concerned.

    My computer is getting older so I wanted a back up / recovery method. Best Buy was comparable in price to other locations. This is easy to use and can even be password protected for an extra level of security.
