    Very Useful and Good Quality
    This is my fourth WD Exernal Drive -- I selected red because this is going to be my new backup drive. I have filled up, my original backup with all our devices needing to be backed up so this one is specifically for my computer. Red is a fitting warning to keep your hands off. I trust WD and if I ever have a problem they are right there to help me solve any issue. Glad I found this little guy at the time I was updating my bed office. I am bedridden and everything is done right here from my bed. Now my screen is mounted over my bed and the backup drive and additional hard drive is mounted on the back of my screen, cutting down on the number of wires I have to channel down to the base of my stand which is mounted at the foot of my bed.
