Small 2TB HDD with read/write about 120/120, usually around 80/110 when copying large files. USB male end of cord means it plugs into anywhere, great use as a video streaming medium between a workstation and a laptop (I can hold entire Netflix seasons on here!) Overall, great “mega USB” and a great find for about $20-25 per TB if you can get them used. Phenomenal gift for the tech person in your family! It’s hard not to love larger, faster, and more versatile storage capacity than even a USB 3.1

Top brand name, just cannot get it to work with my windows 10 computer, I have read the instructions and went online for more guidance. Wish I had bought a back up that I can just plug in and use.

For the price it is/was I'm glad I bought it. It takes the load off of my laptop's internal storage and allows me to Install my games and such on it, many at that. It is something I recommend if you have low storage capacity and are looking for an alternate place to install any large program.

This is a great little drive. It has a great price too. I have two of these already so adding two more was an easy decision. The previous drives were used as full hard drive image backups. These will be used as data backups. My VAIO laptop uses 2.0 USB ports. I did a full file-by-file no compression backup of an Essentials desktop WD drive to this drive and it took about 20 hours for 2 TB! I believe I should have done a "clone" rather than "backup" because I wanted to see the individual files and folders. I just wanted to be able to swap out the drive in case the source were to fail. Then just reassign this destination drive as the original drive letter. The drive looks nice too. It can be driven using a single USB connector.

Pros: This is WD's basic external hard drive for those that want to manually copy the files they want, when thy want, an easy process for many that prefer this over using backup software. I have purchased several refurbished models (3) from the WD factory store and all worked flawlessly and the price is right. Cons: Really the only one is that the formatting used does not work on the old XP OS, The drive can be reformatted to an older version (ie exfat) that is not as good. I forgot that and was frustrated trying to copy some large files from an old computer. Really not the drives fault that they moved on to a newer and better format. I left it as is and used a different method since it works fine on Windows 7 on up.
