    • Great for Backups, Small, Easy to Use
Style: USB 3.2 Gen 1 Capacity: 2TB
Exactly what I was looking for to backup two laptops. Literally plug and play, you don't need to load the WD software if you're not going to use it. I use iDrive local backup with separate accounts for each laptop and it worked flawlessly. For an external drive it's very fast and easy to use, just like working with your internal drive. It's also small, fits in the palm of my hand, so very portable. A lot less expensive and easier to use than NAS storage options. ... show more

    • Worked Great on a Brand New 2022 MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro Chip
Style: USB 3.2 Gen 1 Capacity: 2TB
Worked Great on a brand new 2022 MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro Chip. It's amazing how cheap HDDs are now. I will continue buying them until the price of external SDDs goes down. You can literally get twice as much storage capacity with HDDs for half the price of a SSD. As always, with external drives used to do backups on Mac computers, you must reformat the disk before doing the backup and this WD is no different. Reformatting is a very easy task as always, and it takes no more than a few minutes to get the external drive ready for your Mac. However, I ran into some issues with Time Machine on the newest version of Monterey (the one that came installed in the laptop). It seems like it no matter what format you choose when reformatting the external drive, Time Machine automatically reformats the drive on its own to the new Apple File System (APFS) when you do your first backup. Not only that, but once Time Machine reformats the drive to APFS and completes the backup, then it blocks the HDD and you cannot use it to save anything else in it, drop files, etc. It basically locks the drive for backups only. Oh, and with the APFS format you cannot use the drive to backup older Apple computers. I NEVER had this happened in any of my Apple computers before. I tried a few other HDDs from other brands to ensure this was not an issue of the WD brand. They all did the same, so I knew it was an Apple software glitch issue. It took several calls to Apple to figure out that yes, Time Machine does this. The only way around this issue is to create a "new volume" in the external HDD. Then you can use the separate volume to save other things, drop files, etc. You could create as many volumes as you can, and the APFS makes it very easy. When you plug the HDD, the volume for the backup pops on your desktop (Time Machine color), along with any other volumes you created (yellow color). Hope this saves somebody out there a lot of frustration and aggravation trying to figure out what the issue with Time Machine and external drives using the newest Monterey version. I also hope Apple fixes this problem. It makes no sense that you select a specific reformat option but then Time Machine ignores it and reformats to APFS against your wish and block the drive in the process. The WD external drive works great. It is a really great value for 2TBs of storage, and it is a very small and lightweight drive. All the issues mentioned are specific to the Apple operating system that would happen with any HDD of any brand. ... show more

    • no issues since buying in 2020
Style: USB 3.2 Gen 1 Capacity: 2TB
idk why the AI review says that customers are saying this doesn't work with Mac - you need the adapter for the new Mac models to plug it in, but it is absolutely compatible with Mac computers. I have had this model for 6 years now, purchased in 2020 and it has never had one issue. And I travel with it everywhere and have used it to back up countless photoshoots. Taking files off and on countless times. I came to purchase a new one because I need additional storage. I would definitely recommend this hard drive. ... show more

A small, good backup drive with adequate storage for my system. It includes its own Windows backup software. Set it up and forget it, which is what I wanted to do.

    • Good I assume
Style: USB 3.2 Gen 1 Capacity: 2TB
So far seems good. Easy to use, comes in a box with a pamphlet that says stuff that doesn't seem important. Just kidding, it comes with a 2 yr warranty that can be additionally extended via purchase, and this is said in multiple languages. Once plugged in, pops ups with a program to install. Idk what the install does but I just went ahead with it. I think you can use the storage on your computer without installing it? Who knows. There's like no instructions because it's basically a flash drive and self explanatory (I assume). I dropped a file in it and it accepted it readily. The speed's about what I got with a flash drive (or Mb faster? Unsure) but idk if that correlates to your internet or if it's really something you can shell out the bucks for faster speeds. And upon further rooting around, the program seems to include download options for locking down your HDD files with a password along with backing up your entire computer or smthn. I'm really not tech savvy but they do dumb the instructions down for the average layperson (me) if I should want to do that stuff. We all know the true thing to test is later down the line, if something fails and erases all your data, however. I'm hoping this won't happen! ... show more
