    A little light in weight in my opinion. It has that flimsy feeling. I had to reformat it because this is NOT compatible with Mac. Make sure you are aware of that. And the compatibility program or app they offer is too complicated.

    I bought this for a class and it works very well. You do have to set up the software that comes with this to work. So beware of that. If you want something that works out of the box, then consider something else.

    Realized after I purchased a new computer that they changed the size of the plug in for a back up. This works great to back up my files & easy to use with Time Machine on an Apple computer!

    Purchased for our kid for school. Had no problems setting up and we anticipate he will take a while to fill it with social media worthy pic and videos. And an occasional school assignment.

    Great backup storage solution

    I've had previous experience with two other Western Digital external drives so when the time came to acquire an external storage device for my Macbook Pro, I jumped at the chance to grab another Western Digital drive based upon my prior experiences with their drives. Also don't be concerned that the drive comes formatted for Windows - simply connect this to any Mac and launch Disk Utility to reformat it to Apple's file system. My Mac's internal drive is 1 TB so I decided to grab a drive with double the storage space for extra room. Additionally, this drive has a metal shell (instead of the normal flimsy plastic) and also has USB-C interface (for slighly faster read/write speeds). Whether you're looking for extra storage for an existing system or you need a dedicated drive for backups, this Western Digital drive is a great choice. Pick one up today - you won't be disappointed!

    Pretty good drive for extra storage. I use it for storing extra video footage for work. It has a usb C cord and adapter to USB-A. It seems fast enough but can get warm during huge file transfers.
