    I bought this to back up my desktop using Windows xp which I also use to back up my phone and my iPad. Set it up to back up the desktop on a schedule and if I happen to not have the computer on when it is suppose to back up it reminds me as soon as I turn it on. Works great!

    I wish these worked more politely with my UASP configuration on my 3rd party card. The system will BSOD on the WD driver. Toshiba doesn't have this problem.

    This is the best acquisition right now. The only negative point: does not offer a protective/carrying case.

    I have been using Western Digital products for many years now. I have had no issues with any of the products I've tried. Over the years, I have made more purchases as the capacities have increased and they work great!
