The fisrt thing that comes to my mind is to find a reliable storage so my data can be placed in a secure and fast enough data transfer external storage, and that is what is the WD is about. So basically I use this unit as a backup drive and does the job as it was expected, no complains at all, decent data transfer, and very easy to use, copy paste basically, Western Digital offers a SW that works well with this drive called WD Discoveryand it will allows you to download and keep up to date other WD Apps. But for me the most important part is to know that the data is secure, to know that my videos and photos are safe which is the reason why I bought this external storage. The construction also feels and look good.
