These disks have been very reliable..I use them for storing my Final Cut Pro Archives, which would otherwise gobble up so much space on my hard drives.  So far, all the burns have been 100% successful.  I am very happy with these disks.

Perfect for the thousands of pictures and video files that i have collected over the years. It holds them effortlessly, with speedy transport. I have a macbook, which this product is not initially programmed for, but the formatting process was fast and easy. So much space, I feel great knowing I no longer have to worry about memory space on any of my devices.

My tech geek, engineer, researches everything, detail oriented brother chose this to save all of our old digitized family videos. I love it, and am very happy to have decades of family photos preserved in a durable drive. Of course, just to be safe, my brother and father have copies of all the same things on the same drive.

I use this drive primarily for my work in photography, where I deal with raw files as big as 45 MB.  This drive has never given me a problem, although others have reported some difficulties such as freezing up, etc.  This drive also works connected to a USB hub with no problems.  I would recommend it to anyone working with large or numerous files, especially at the backup level where you need to remove it for storage off-site, or in a safe.

I purchased the Western Digital External 160 GB Hard Drive about 9 months ago. At first, I was skeptical about the viability of an external hard drive, however, by now the WD 160 has happily changed my mind.

This WD external unit is compatible with PCs and Macs (and stands vertically or lays horizontally). It arrives with 160 gigabytes of memory, 7200 RPMs speed, 6 feet of cable, and an AC adapter with chord. Three face-illuminated buttons provide "dual-option" backup (automatic and manual) and front mounted power switch. The 160's USB wiring easily and adroitly connects to the CPU.

This unit is brilliant for storing digital photos! I've stored on it and retrieved from it 1000s of pictures without any problem. I have also filed 100s of documents on it. The WD 160 is an accessing breeze. Its compact size makes it nice, also, for transport (via brief case or backpack) to other computers. It is a pleasure, and sometimes a relief, to use its mighty storage capacity.

If you are looking for an inexpensive fail-safe storage platform consider the WD 160 GB USB Hard Drive 2.0

I purchased this SD card to backup a large portion of my MP3 music files to be used in a new CD/DVD player that I purhcased for my truck. And I was thrilled that it held my entire collection. The card had a fast write speed of about 10-12Mb per second when I copied over about 40 gig worth of data. The only glitch that it has was the formating. A drive this large is formated in a manner that will allow all the 64G to be read, however, for some devices, (such as my new truck radio) they can't read the card in this format. So I re-formatted the device using fat32format. This program formats the card in a FAT32 format no matter how large the drive so that most standard SDHC card devices can read them. This solved the problem and I know have my entire MP3 collection on one card that can be accessed from my truck radio.

This card is great buy for the price and capacity. Highly recommended.

I bought 5 of these to send scanned copies of our family photographs to my children -- 9 albums.  A lot of precious data.  The drive did exactly what it's supposed to do.  Pleasing design.  Nice product.

This  16gb memory card is so easy to use.  I have loaded it with many folders with each folder filled with photos that I was planning to archive for many years.  This is but one use that I have used, however I'm certain that many other storage features are possible and will be just as efficient and useful as my experience with my photos.

I like the fold up feature and the key ring loop. Both handy. Please note that the drive formatted in FAT32, which limits you to storing files under 4GB each. You will need to reformat to NTFS to save larger file sizes.

I bought this flash drive to use with my Western Digital HD Media Player. It's fast enough to deliver full 1920x1080 30p, high bitrate (12mbs) h. 264 HD video without a hiccup. And big enough to hold over 5 hours of content. Perfect.

I love the build quality, packaging and convenience.  I bought more than one of these and have already used them to copy terabytes of data without a hiccup, so I heartily recommend them.  Wish I'd have had these years ago.

Fast transfer speed, large storage.  Useful for porting files around, no complaints!

So much space for music and photos -- This will last a mighty long time! I use my old 8 GB hard drive for my writing.

I have 100 plus floppy disks from 20 years back and needed a way to read them and is some cases copy information from them that was either 'sensitive' in nature or had personal value worth keeping.  This disk reader was easy to use and met my need with a high level of satisfaction.  It works so well that rather than destroy/throw away many of the disks, I will probably keep them and the originally intended backup, knowing that reading them, once again, is simple and expedient.  I highly recommend this drive for those like me, who had, in the rapidly changing PC world, just temporarily lost this capability to read the floppy disks and, for the obvious reasoning, would like a more efficient way to store and retrieve some of the data on them.

I was running out of storage on my home computer due to a large collection of kids pictures and videos.  I plugged this unit in and it was immediately recognized and assigned a drive-letter.  I now have a place to archive my pictures and videos and the speed is pretty good since it is USB 3.0.  I do NOT use it is a backup like a lot of people do as I don't feel that it makes much sense to rely upon a backup solution that is RIGHT NEXT TO MY COMPUTER.  If we had a fire, or storm where water destroyed my computer, it would probably kill this thing too.  I use an online backup service so that for $60 a year, I can feel secure.

It is small enough to hide behind the computer and forget about.  I upgraded to a new computer a while back and it worked fine with Windows 8 when I attached this HD to it...all of my files were still available and it didn't give me any problems at all.

I am using this for archival storage.  I have configured it for use under Windows, but I use it for Linux more often. I configured a 5 drive 3TB LVM2 logical volume, resulting in a 15TB filesystem.  The I/O performance under USB 3.0 is quite good.  The construction quality is exceptionally good.

I highly recommend this product
