Create Recovery State Windows

Needed to create a recovery drive for the new computer. It was going to take 10.68GB. Verbatim is a trusted brand; and this was a good price, so I bought three.

I bought two of these for two different older Win10 computers with spinning hard drives that were degrading, making the computers very slow. First was my wife's nearly 9 year old laptop. First attempt at cloning drive failed because the computer shut itself off during the process. Be sure to go into power settings and disable automatic shutdown or sleep mode. Once I did that the cloning succeeded. Second PC was a desktop with a 250GB spinning drive. The SSD is 1 TB. Using the cloning wizard, it wanted to create a 217 GB Windows partition (same size as it was on the spinning drive) and it wanted to blow up the recovery partition to well over 700 GB. Well, that's stupid! It should have kept the recovery partition the same size and increased the Windows partition as much as possible. So I halted the cloning and restarted it in manual mode, which allows changing the partition sizes. In manual mode the cloning software made the correct suggestion: it kept the recovery partition and two small mysterious partitions the same sizes that they were on the hard drive, and it increased the Windows partition to 871 GB. So I accepted those sizes and did the cloning. Why couldn't the wizard have figured that out? Bottom line - pay attention during the cloning process to make sure the wizard isn't doing something dumb. Both computers are now running much faster than before. My wife is delighted with her new laptop. She says it is now super-fast. B&H sale price was great with free two day delivery.

My photo van doesn't have windows (except driver & passenger) so a back-up camera is a must. I painstakingly installed a wired system several years ago and I thought it was pretty good until I purchased this BC 40 to go along with my 61 LMT GPS. It's a large GPS so the view is awesome. The mounting bracket is nice but a little section of the state name was covered and the police don't like that. If they cannot see every single letter 100% clearly, they have no idea what state your plate is from so I modified it with a couple of stainless steel nuts and bolts. By dropping down the plate the speeding ticket can be properly filled out. I haven't had it long enough to replace the batteries but I carry spares with me just in case.

I purchased this product to move the Windows virtual machine that I run on my MacBook Pro under VMWare Fusion off my internal storage because I was running out of space on the laptop's solid state drive. While I haven't run benchmarks, it appears it to start up and run the Windows apps as fast (or maybe only very slightly slower) than from the Macbook's internal solid state drive. It is an excellent product for this application.

Comes with recovery software too.

I bought this Samsung 256GB flash to create a Windows To Go install as an emergency backup for my PC. The host PC has USB 3.2 ports so I am able to achieve the full speed on the Samsung flash drive. It really is nearly as fast as running from a Sata 6 GB/s SSD. Boot and response times are fine. As an alternative, this drive could easily be used for transporting large files between systems. Bottom line is that at the cost being asked for this flash drive, just under $60 at the time of this writing, the speed and size are truly amazing.

Bought this to back up my PC files and create a System Image Backup for Windows 10. It works flawlessly, which is all one wants from an external USB drive. I like the case design - it has small rubber feet on the back which enables it to sit securely on my PC (or a desk) without slipping or falling.

Using the Mac Disk Utility, I was able to easily create both a Mac and a Windows partition to back-up raw footage and other video files. I always trust Western Digital and this product will probably not let me down either. It's sleek, quiet, and extremely fast with the USB 3.0. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

I needed to reinstall Windows 10 and used this to create an image for that purpose. Worked perfectly

it worked fine for making a recovery drive.
