I've read another review stating that this drive requires paid software " which you must use to operate the drive," and there's a lot of misinformation to that. This drive comes with trial software for cloud storage.

I've only been using it for a week, but so far it works swimmingly; My usb ports are 2.0, but the speeds on it are great and I've been running current gen games off of it with zero issues; For anyone in dire need of space but you don't want to replace your main drive quite yet, this is a good option

The case feels a tad thin and the cable it's packed in is a bit more than a foot long; It goes without saying but try not to drop this thing; You might want to look into buying another cable if you want to place your external somewhere farther away

Looking for a reliable and quality external hard drive that works with my PS4. I'm non-techy and after checking online and with friends. I plumped for the WD because of its reliability and also was ￡10 - ￡15 cheaper than its rivals.

I bought this few days back & I am satisfied with the product ! Though not fastest in the market, large capacity makes it a perfect HD.

Purchased a few weeks ago on special after having an old 1st gen 1TB hard drive the required mains power as well as USB, very impressed with the speed I can transfer to and from with this hard drive, only regret is I didn't by 2

I'm in love with this HDD. Absolutely amazing. Cute little one in looks, yet massive in capacity. Super fast performance with USB 3.0. Even USB 2.0 gives good read/write speed of up to 21 MBps. What else to mention, Western Digital's reputation precedes its products.

Do small and light, bought a 10 ft cord to go with it so I can keep it tucked away in drawer and use with whatever device. Con: can,t connect directly to Samsung s2 tablet directly, literally no way, issue is power and no special cord to supplement power that connects to s2 (am sure on this)

Works well, good price for WD reliability which is at the upper spectrum for HDD data.

The hard drive just arrived a week ago. It was and is everything I was expecting it to be. It could last for 50 years or 50 days, I just don't know yet, but B&H sent me an email requesting I review it, so here it is. I'm sure you've found this review ridiculously helpful.

I use it to play movies through my tv, the spinning of the hard drive makes considerable noise, very noticeable. Not great for quiet rooms. Otherwise good.

Had no problems, runs great and fast, quick hook and setup
