    There are no real written instructions. I have tried downloading it several times to no avail. I stopped by Thursday the 15th to visit geek squad where the guy was not happy at all that I stopped by. I did not have an appointment even though I pay for that service. He found the on screen icon and opened the program, showed me how it worked. I got home, followed what he told me to do. Nothing. Now what.

    This is now the 2nd attempt of getting my order right, the 1st they sent a windows version rather than a Mac. This one was also wrong, and failed on startup. It was 1 terabyte rather than the 2 I paid for. I am thoroughly upset and after spending an hour and half to speak with a manager, Steve just passed me off. This was a bad experience and will not be shopping here again.

    After using it for a couple months it is now unable to be seen by my Mac. I have done all the googling, bought new cords, tried different computers and the external drive will no longer connect to anything. Super upset that I lost my work on it of my clients as well as frustrated that it stopped; not to mention the money I wasted on it assuming it was reliable.

    These WD hard drives are not made like they used to be. I am on my 4th one and had to only replace in the past when my storage ran out. I have only had this 3 months and the internal cable connector is loose. I have now lost all my data because I can not connect to my computer. Will NEVER buy Western Digital again.

    Every time my Mac goes to sleep the hard drive does as well and won't wake back up. Typically when I go to disconnect it I relieve an error message stating it is still in use. I have made sure I have all programs closed but still receive the error message. Wouldn't recommend.

    This WD 2 Tb USB-C Ultra is super fast and has an adapter included from USB--C to the standard USB-3. This small WD 2 Tb Hard drive gives you plenty of room to store your movies music photos and just plain files.
