I purchased this drive a couple of months ago to transfer my data from my old PC laptop to my new one. It was a good decision. WD drives are affordable, reliable, and easy to use. This one was just plug and play and didn’t require any formatting to be compatible with my device. The newer solid state drives might be a little faster in terms of loading your data, but this one hasn’t given me any trouble. And it’s a little more affordable than an SSD.

Doing some spring cleaning and I have several old laptops that I have been holding on to for years. Mainly because they have documents and photos that I might possibly need someday. I made an appointment with the Geek Squad to backup 2 old laptops and my current laptop. I bought this little hard drive because it was on sale and I am extremely happy with the purchase. It got everything. Documents, photos, videos!! So much stuff with lots of space left for more! Also, you can take it anywhere because it fits in the palm of your hand. I highly recommend this compact, powerful hard drive!

I bought this alongside a new laptop and was easily able to use it to transfer everything from my old one to my new one in one sitting. For a while it was stored in my laptop case, where it's so compact and thin that it hardly existed except when I wanted to use it. And since I got my PS5, it's been plugged in there as extended storage for back-compatible PS4 games. PS5 games install to the console SSD and PS4 games automatically install to this instead. It doesn't give that speed boost of an SSD, but it's not supposed to, and I haven't been worried about storage space ever since. I have dozens of games on it and it's not even half full. Highly recommended for PC or console use, as long as you recognize that it's a hard drive, not even remotely a slow one by their standards, and you'd pay at least double this price for this big an SSD.
