My previous 1.5 To portable hard drive was full (a very good Seagate USB 3) and I was looking for a bigger one. The choice was very limited but I found this WD 2 To in UK (I leave in France). Received it quickly and very easy to use : just plug and play. My comments :
Pros
- it's 1.8 To and not 2 To but it's the same for all hard drives and it's a pretty high storage capacity
- there is a password protection : good when you're traveling a lot
- the USB 3 works well and is a plus for transfering big files
- the device is very compact, even smaller than my previous 1.5 To drive
Cons
- the drive is not protected by any soft/silicone part. Could be an issue for the hard travelers
- the plug on the drive side is thin and looks fragile. No issue after one month of use but will see after extensive use.
In summary, very happy with this drive : fast transfer and seems to be the biggest storage capacity at that time. Looking for a 3 To now :-)
