System File Checker On External Drive

I ditched the included software and just started using it as an external drive. It connected perfectly, no hitches. And I loaded up a 630 Gbyte ZIP file backup onto it. It was relatively speedy, though it took about 6-7 hours to load that 630 Gbyte ZIP file from another external drive to it. Nonetheless, I'm very pleased with it so far.

This external drive shipped right away. I received it in the mail the next day. It’s a great and reliable drive. File transfer was seamless.

I have two computers to back up and I wanted space to do a system image and a backup of specific files. That way I could restore the whole system if the hard drive went bad, or I could just restore a specific file if the file went bad. This hard drive has the space to do that for both of my computers. And the cost is the lowest anywhere. The drive is small and fits perfectly in my safe. Very happy. Thank you.

I LOVE this system. It attaches on top of the color checker and you can't mess up the black level even if you tried.

Only drive I use for my video file backups.

I use this as my main file drive with a M2 program drive.

I love this external drive!

A great external drive.

Excellent and seamless back up as an external drive to keep your entire system, as well as your files, photos, videos, and music secure!

....it appears so far. This is my second WD backup drive, and my first is still going strong and running flawlessly. I've tried ClickFree as a long-term storage solution, and it's been a bit of a nightmare. I bought this drive to replace it in fact, because I don't trust the aforementioned. This WD transfers files on & off itself quickly. It definitely is an External not a Removable, but it doesn't have the massive footprint (size) my old Verbatim External had. My one bone to pick: It is secure, yes. Kinda. When you install the software you can set it to always remain signed-in from your primary host-PC. Which makes sense, being that it's an External not a Removable! But I also use it with my laptop. I had to install the system-files on my laptop, then when I plug the drive into my laptop I need to manually run any one of the WD software applications so it prompts me for my password. Only after this can I see the drive when it's plugged-into my laptop. It would be nice if the drive was recognized but I was prompted for my password. I keep a copy of the system files off-disk, and I'm sure they're available free from WD's website.
