While I am just using it as an external drive for extra space; making the backup software superfluous to me, others might find using it for a periodic a backup to be most useful. Formatted for Windows, transfer speeds with my computer system I bought specific for my photography is great. 85Gig of data transfering in a few minutes instead of hours is a time saver.

I bought mine on sale and it arrived on time but it doesn’t have the 2tb as advertised but 1.81tb instead. This is not a deal breaker for me but could be for others. 4/5, pretty solid

The first one I ordered was defective; the second one I ordered is working okay but makes some odd clicking sounds. Hoping it lasts for a long time!

Stopped being recognized by my computer. I’ve sent to WD and am waiting for a replacement drive.

… the installation, that is. A month ago I had a single 2TB external drive for storage; now I have two, connected through a hub. Even allowing for the necessary time to configure this new external drive for Mac, the setup was simple as can be.

These items were purchased as a Christmas gift so I don’t yet have a personal review. From past experience with Western Digital hard drives I am confident this drive will be as dependable.
Agustin Walker (verified owner) –
Great external HD. Really nice to only need power from USB 2.0 and it has a nice compact size.
Stevie Blanda (verified owner) –
2tb with a small footprint provides lots of room for backing up files.
Helena Ruecker (verified owner) –
This is the third hard drive I bought to backup a former WD hard drive to. The others were useless as only about half of my files would transfer to them. This one transffered seemlessly and quickly.
Trace Lynch (verified owner) –
USB powered, compact. Doing its job.
Devon Hayes (verified owner) –
I bought this for my friend’s daughter to keep her wedding pictures and video backed-up onto. There’s plenty of room for her other files too! Can’t really beat the price nor the portability. They’re really happy with this.
Johnny Quigley (verified owner) –
Great size, well built solid drive. R/W speeds are good. Good price. Does what I need.
Don Emard (verified owner) –
I use this as a backup to a multiyear collection of photos. It is working great at this time. I do not keep it plugged in all the time. I copy data then unplug. It is great for the objective I have bought it for.
