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.

Excellent drive

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.

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

I bought this drive to transfer files from my old Windows XP Professional Computer to my new computer running on Windows 10. Since Win XP can only see drives up to 2 Tb, I bought this small 1 Tb drive to make sure the transfer would go without problems. Was I wrong !!!

I got this product in a sale, for me its a very good product at this price. According to me below is the major pros and cons of this device Pros: i)As description says this drive has 256bit encryption so I believe this is protected from others. ii)Drive looks good and sturdy.

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

I always use "Passport" size external HDDs for backups and my old 2TB had not enough space anymore. This one has huge capacity for such a small box and will last for a few years. High recommendation.

Huge capacity for such a small box; USB 3.0 - fast transfers; Good deal when on sale

None

This hard Drive was easy to install an it works great with both My Mac at home and my PC at work. No hassle at all.

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; ;-
