    Space for Years

    I remember when 1-2 TB externals initially emerged, they were extremely expensive and bulky. Now that we can get drives into smaller cases, 2 TB (which is still a ton) can practically hide in a small space like this one can. I might buy 8-10 more.

    I purchased another one of these a couple of years ago, but needed to be able to back up my computer without deleting any of the files currently on the older version. This works well and I was glad it came with a cord adapter so it can work with either of my computers.

    I have used WD drives almost always, hence this purchase. I like the compact design and 3.0 speed. Not the smallest drive, but was very easy to pack in the camera stuff bag for an overseas trip. It is also a very durable unit and withstood the banging around during my travels.

    Bought this as i have my regular laptop and a traveling laptop. Hated that i needed to copy files back and forth. This allows me to connect the drive to either computer and carry all my files wherever i go.

    I’ve used WD hard drives for over 25 years and am satisfied with its reliability. Wish they had not dropped the warranty from 7 years to 3 years. That seems to tell me WD changed something inside to make it fail more often to sell more units. Or is it because it’s made in China?

    Te drive is fine but I wish I hadn't intalled the software that comes with it. It pops up and causes my computer to have to be rebooted. So just use it to back up but not autoback up. I may not be operating it right but it's a pain.
