It Is one of the easiest to use external hard drive that I purchased it works for my MacBook and my windows computer without a flaw.

Replacement for Toshiba that failed after one year. So far so good.

This is a great way to store pictures and documents. Much better than burning to CD or DVD. Very easy to use. Takes up very little space.

The product is extremely easy to use and has worked as advertised.

I use these 1 tb drives to record over air broadcast TV shows. I don't know what happened to the previous one. I was able to view and copy recorded shows but could not delete them or record new shows. It was at least a couple of years old and used a lot. Hopefully this one will last a little longer. I have some 2 tb drives that I've had longer that still work fine, but aren't used as much. Maybe I'm being optimistic with five stars, but I can't rate this new one on the failure of the old one. Fingers are crossed.

Small and compact, yet very fast with excellent storage capacity.

I had to choose between the seagate 1tb and the Western digital 1tb. Based on research I found online, the Western digital has a lower chance of failure. Obviously, the drives' life depends on the consumer's usage. Once I plugged it into my computer, the software was booted up and asked if I wanted to backup any files on cloud service. The process did not take long. To write 140gb of files into the drive; if I can recall correctly, it took about 30-40 minutes. All in all, great portable hard drive for the price.

The compact external drive is a great accessory to store (back-up) everything you don't want to lose. And it's perfect for travelling.

Have other WD portable HD in the past, this is a good one as well. Good for backing up large photos and home movies for traveling.

As a back up hd, this gets the job done. No more, no less. Solid.

Bought to make sure that business info was backed up. It has been easy to use and holds a lot of stuff for anything you need it to.

I travel a lot and carry a lot. Space available in my baggage is slim to none. I have a need to bring some recorded movies with me for my entertainment. This unit allows me to do this and have space for backup of files. Thank you

like to size and capacity. Takes just a small space on the desk.

It appears to be working, but, I guess I have no way of knowing unless I have a need to retrieve the data that it is supposed to be storing. My hope is that when/if I lose another hard drive that I will not have lost my data again. That was a bummer!! I trust the associates in the various departments at Best Buy to sell me a product that is sufficient to meet my needs and they have never failed me in many years

This is compact and easy to use as a data back up for my laptop.

Bought the product on sale during December and have not been disappointed. It is easy to use and small which is great for packing.

I needed this so the Geek Squad could download what they saved from my cropped out computer. I love the size and it's ease of use.

A great, easy to use, portable external hard drive for the price.

Great value for what I expected. The set up was really easy also.

needed a back up and this one was suggested by a best buy person
