Works great
This external hard drive was easy to install (just plug and play) and I thought it was a great value. The drive comes with some pre-loaded software to help you do things, but I just plugged it in and started backing up my files. Would recommend this product.

Great space saver
I have had my external hard drive for 3 year now and its still kicking. The usb transfer cord went out on me after two years but it was easy and cheap to get a replacement for it.

WD My Book Essential - 1TB USB 3.0 External HDD
Does what it is supposed to do - nothing more, nothing less. I bought this HDD as it is on the certified external drive list for the Wii U and thus works great with the said console.

Avoid Buying It!
There are many shortcomings to this hard disk. Firstly, the hard disk is quite heavy which makes it difficult to carry around. Secondly, the transfer rate is not that great. Thirdly, it requires an external adapter to operate. It doesn't have lot to offer for the high demanders.

Design fail.
Design fail. The fastest cable on the market limited by some of the slowest drives WD has available.
Pros:
- Looks pretty
Cons:
- Cost
- You gain nothing over a USB 3.0 version of this at 4 times the price because it has thunderbolt

Amazing Amount of Storage
Just bought this drive last week from Staples (last one too, seems they're going out of stock), and so far, I have no complaints whatsoever. I was able to transfer everything from my 2 TB hard drive to this one with no errors, and the drive is very fast if I have it plugged into a USB 3.0 port.
Pros:
- Easy To Install
- Fast
- Highly Compatible
- Quiet
- Reliable
Cons:
- None yet
