Great for data backup, drag and drop easiness.

Used this to back up data on a vista machine before I restored it, comes with easy instructions. This item can perform a lot of function, not only data recovery but password reset, diagnostics, etc.

This is a great, small hard drive.  It's small enough to easily carry around when traveling for work and transfer speeds are way faster than thumb drives.  It's easy to use and reliable.  It's also great for backing up photos or storing music.  It's sleek and easy enough to decorate with stickers or something if you need to get a few for different reasons.

Bought this hard drive a few months back.. wish I had done it sooner. Its inexpensive, and runs smooth, quite, stays cool. You can drag and drop folders/files just like you would in your computer documents folder. Very easy.

It automatically backs up particular selected drives and folders, and does a whole computer backup. Kinda redundant if you plan on dragging particular folders in, that's my opinion: this because if you drag in folders, it still does its own special 'full system backup.' There may be a way in settings to over ride this, but I have not seen yet. No big deal cause its a whole friggin TB + whatever your computer hard drive is.

Pros: None so far.

Cons: When backing up the computer, It has the tendency to take a while.. and hogs computer resources a bit during. That said, my computer is also 6 yrs old, so that may be the main cause.

I purchased this a little over a month ago as a backup device for my MacBook Pro and to keep some of my important files. The transfer speeds are good and the device is made of aluminum which gives it a nice look. Keep in mind tyat it feels a little bit heavy but with that comes lots of protection for the drive. It is very slim but to give you an idea next to my MacBook pro 15 in retina it is slightly wider then the body when to screen is in the open position. My personal favorite thing about this drive an all WD drives is that you can password protect them so you don't have to worry about leaving it around thinking someone may try to go into your stuff. Also you can set it specific to you Mac by clicking unlock drive automatically when connected to your (name ). This speeds up the process when you are using the drive on your computer.

This was just what I have been looking for to meet my offsite backup needs. It's 93 MB capacity will backup my  system nicely (using Retrospect), and it is small enough to carry in my back pocket (in its compact and convenient and protective leather carrying case)...so I have a backup offsite with me where-ever I go! On a Mac G5, it runs fine using ONLY USB power, so it couldn't be more convenient since I don't have to do anything but plug it in the USB port and its good to GO. Backups take place at an average data  rate of about 350-400 MB/min (about 3 min/gig). Thanks DES for meeting this need.

I have several external HDs with this common configuration and I like the short size for quick backups on the fly.

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.

Easy to install and even easier to do backups.  Plug and it runs- the first time it takes a while to backup everything, but subsequent backup take only a couple of minutes.  These things are great- I remember many years ago using floppies, then CDS, then jump drives, etc.  This takes all the work out of making backups, and you can backup multiple computers on each drive.  Great product.

Having an external hard drive is very useful, I use it with a data backup utility for my computer, having smaller drives in my computer, data storage is usually a problem, which fortunately has been solved by this drive, when it comes to external drives Western Digital is a brand I have a long and wonderful history with. With USB 3.0 compatibility the read/write times are extremely fast and its compatible with many of today's current computers. At 1 TB it's more than enough space to keep multiple backups from my computer, so I have no worries of data loss. Its a small form factor so its very portable, even small and light enough to carry in my pocket if I wanted to.

This is a great way to backup data on the road or when traveling on vacation.  It is easy to pack and easy to carry.

I work as a Software Consultant and regularly have to transfer large files between machines, the size and speed of this Drive allows me to do that with ease.

Easy setup, quick and easy backup software, works smoothly in the background.  Silent, runs fairly cool.  A bit of trouble getting it free to disconnect safely.  2 TB drive.  Lightweight.  Good speed with UCB 3.0.

I use both a PC and a macbook. It's pretty easy to use, all you have to do is drag and drop. Since I plan to use it for Windows and Mac OS, I did not have to sync the backup with my macbook time machine. That makes it a bit boring since I have to manually drag and drop the files. I wish the USB cord was a bit long. Overall a good purchase for 1Tb storage. No complains. The best part, I ordered it as free shipping (expecting it would arrive in 5-6 days) and it came the very next day. :) Amazon has always lived up to my expectations when it comes to shipping.

This device was easy to install, saves me time as I set it and forget it.  The backups are fast and ever so painless.  You must be somewhat careful about moving the drive when it is working.  I recommend find a stable place for it, then leave it there when using it.

You can move a whole computer full of information to another computer with ease.

Working great for me to transfer data and make temporary backups. The rubberized exterior makes gripping it easy.
