I bought two for mirrored backup and archival storage. Works as advertised. Wish it was thinner, but not a big deal. A bit larger than a pack of cigarettes and about as thick. Have not tested performance since that's not terribly important to me - seems to be quick enough.

Nice hard drive, got it for a good price. Cable is short but not an issue. Using the included backup software. The software allows me to get to the files when not at my primary computer (does not create an unreadable backup that is only accessible from the software)

Easy to Use; Features; Quiet

Small and quiet! Now i can backup all my data on this bad boy!

I use this drive to provide Time Machine backups for the 3 Macs in the house. Two of my Macs have USB2 ports, so these ports dominate the write speeds to the disk. Even though the TM backups took 20 or 30 min each, these were the first time backups which amounted to 60-90GB.

Silent, low power, reliable (so far); The small form factor and self-powered aspects are pluses as well

None; Update(2016/Jan): I used it a few times (maybe 4) and had it unplugged sitting on my desk; I used it just now for another Time Machine backup and it started to act weird; It would unmount spontaneously.

I bought this because it says it's compatible with Apple and it is but it took hours of research and a few false starts to get there. Unlike a previous purchase which simply plugged in, this one needs to be ‘partitioned' and although I found out how from help sites I still have no idea what I've...

It's SO small! Well, compared to my previous back up drives. No problems with connectivity, easy to use and the in-built back up software makes the device so simple. I now have the peace of mind that my PC is being backed up every hour. Or you can just use it as a storage device - up to you.

Bought Solely To Use With My PS4 As Extended Storage Due To The 500gig was Not Big Enough To Store My Collection Of Games Via Digital Copies. Powered Buy USB There For No Other Power Outlet Needed And Some what Matching Design Too.

3 Years warranty, fast speed, high data recovery success rate.

WD - this is a good and reliable hard drive

wondering who had the idea to make such an ugly design maybe it's good; will not fall out from the hands; ;-

I am very happy with this purchase. It is super fast and has plenty of storage. Great product for a great price.

Excellent drive
