Perfect purchase!

Western Digital has always been a reliable and one of the best hard disk brands. This Western Digital is simply even better. Very compact, no power cable needed because the power is supplied via the USB cable. Lightning fast thanks to USB 3.0, also very quiet and the disk hardly gets warm. The cable is certainly for use in combination with a laptop of sufficient length. The design is also good, neatly finished in a sturdy housing. The drive runs perfectly under Windows! Unpack, connect cable, plug in and go. The price in combination with quality are excellent. There are really no downsides to this perfect purchase.

That Ass

compact
Draws power from the USB port.
Easy to carry

Excellent hard hard disk I'm using it for backups. The most awesome part is that you can give it a name. I called mines "Dat Ass". Now once a month my computer ask me if i want to back "dat Ass" up.

Why That Ass is Awesome:

Ass Keeps all my files
Compact Ass
Ass is easy to carry
Ass Draws power from the USB port.

Device fine. Software limited.

software

There is nothing wrong with the HD. Works fine. Only the description when ordering stated that the disk was accompanied by backup software. Unfortunately, it did not say that it is a trial version with temporary use.
