My first external, and a great choice.

I've read another review stating that this drive requires paid software " which you must use to operate the drive," and there's a lot of misinformation to that. This drive comes with trial software for cloud storage.

I've only been using it for a week, but so far it works swimmingly; My usb ports are 2.0, but the speeds on it are great and I've been running current gen games off of it with zero issues; For anyone in dire need of space but you don't want to replace your main drive quite yet, this is a good option

The case feels a tad thin and the cable it's packed in is a bit more than a foot long; It goes without saying but try not to drop this thing; You might want to look into buying another cable if you want to place your external somewhere farther away

Very useful portable hard drive as described in the website

WD Elements Portable 2TB 2.5" USB 3.0 External HDD

Works well, good price for WD reliability which is at the upper spectrum for HDD data.

HDD with High speed Transfer Rate

I had purchased this product with 10% off. Writing speed is nearly 95 Mbps. So this is a best buy than purchasing a WD passport for higher price.
