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 buy almost exclusively WD drives. I have owned more than a dozen over the years and have found that if you treat them right (don't drop, leave in hot sun, etc), they will last nearly forever.

Small, no external power needed, high capacity, good price; Best brand in the business if you ask me

A bit thicker than other 2.5" drives; but not a big deal

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

Very useful portable hard drive as described in the website

Plug & play great idea .

I purchased this drive to use as a backup drive for photos and family video after a recent pc failure. I was pleasantly surprised to find the drive is USB powered meaning no additional power cable is required. Nice and clean. Transfer times were excellent over 90GB of data in just a few minutes.

No issues with this drive. I like the 'frustration-free' packaging, and the fact that it did not come preloaded with dumpster-ware. It was a true plug-n-play experience. I use the drive for data backup on two laptops running Windows 10, and to that end I use Microsoft's free tool, "SyncToy", which...

This is an excellent drive... I bought it for a my pictures and videos that I stored. This is to replace my old Desktop 2Tb Elements Drive that I bought couple years ago.

Great product. Very affordable
