I would expect the newer, faster USB-C connectivity to be much faster, but I don't have a Mac running

It comes with a 15” USB C to USB C data/power cable as well as a USB C to

It's great to see WD come out with a line of portable USB-C hard drives

Software is easy to use, even for a novice like myself

Well I never use any backup software

I don't use automatic backup software on my Mac or on the drive, so I can't speak to that, but it's perfect for photographers or other people who need to backup huge amounts of data.

Thankfully Western Digital sees that this port is still not ready for prime time, so they included an adapter to plug to the standard USB-A. Works like a charm

This USB C (backward compatible adapter included) external drive is great for doing backups or taking large amounts of data (movies, photos, etc) with you

This drive came already formatted for Windows and there is a USB C to USB C cable also included, as well as a keyed adapter to make it a USB C to USB A cable, in case your current computer doesn't have a USB C port

The case is attractive, and it comes with a USB-C adaptor which is now plugged into my powered Sabrent dock

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7Q2Z42/ I do recommend a padded case because the data on the drive is what is

(Other hard drives need to be reformatted for the Mac, this wasn’t the case on this hard drive)I highly recommend this.

so it's worth the cost of some protection

I suppose if one didn't have much capacity needs, it could function as a capable cost-effective backup drive for a desktop, or for a laptop that doesn't travel much.

Overall it is a good value for a nice, quiet, sturdy drive.

Priced at just under $70 for the 1TB version, this external drive offers an excellent value

The enhanced speed and convenience of USB C is just an added bonus

It comes with a 15” USB C to USB C data/power cable as well as a USB C to

It's hard to say that it reads/writes significantly faster than USB 3.0 drives - I haven't noticed any major differences - but the convenience is great

I also like the three year warranty

WD's 3-year warranty is great.

WD Security allows for the encryption and password protection of the drive's contents.10

It comes with a 15” USB C to USB C data/power cable as well as a USB C to

The WD Discovery software allows you to set up auto backup options, password protection, import cloud images and documents for Facebook, Instragra, Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive, etc

The fact that it is USB powered is a major attractive feature to me

I'm crossing my fingers that an update for this software will soon be available for Mojave users to access this cool feature

The software that comes with it (WD Discovery) needs refinement and security to be truly useful whether you are a Windows or Mac user

WD Discovery allows for importing of data and also contains apps such as WD Utilities (free), WD Security (free), and other subscription-based apps - some of which offer free trials.

I have found the upload and download speeds to be fantastic and honestly - I couldn’t find any down sides to this portable hard drive

I love the compact size, speed of operation, reliability of WD products, and even the silver case that coordinates nicely with my iMac

The speed was so-so (slow), as this is a 5,400 rpm drive, and I was only able to test it using USB-A 3.0.If you need a large external portable HDD, this one fits the bill nicely

For an external hard drive, the speed is pretty fast, 130MB/s read and

There are less expensive microUSB 4TB drives

However a 4TB hard drive is much appreciated because I'm doing my own backup to local drives, not counting on some cloud service

My MBP only has 256 GB flash memory, this 2TB portable external drive comes in handy to store my iTunes movie, tv, and music purchases, as well as all the phones taken from several generations of iPhones.

For the same price as a couple of 64GB SSD cards, you can have a 1TB portable drive

It works fine and the price is right for a portable 1tb drive like this

The drive itself is about the same size as every other USB hard drive

For an external hard drive, the speed is pretty fast, 130MB/s read and

I wouldn't buy any other kind of hard drive but Western Digital.
