I bought this for backup storage for Pixel phone. It is a great product but not ideal for direct Android backup. -Lots of storage -Fast

They care about design. When you plug the USB cord into the drive, you notice that etched into the orange rubber casing are the words, "design by neil poulton." I think this is more than just a gimmick. The care that they put into the physical product really makes you take better care of it.

Large capacity, low cost, fast enough for me. It took several hours to reformat with NTFS, but no bad sectors found. Users should stop complaining about the "short USB cable". If WD supplied a 3 foot cable, other users will say "it's too long". The specs clearly show what you get. I keep extra cables in various lengths, so I always have the length I need. Cables are only a few bucks apiece!

This is no harder to set up than a thumb drive and at a much lower price than a thumb drive of the same storage capacity. And it takes a standard micro-USB to type-A USB cord

Durable. Light Non Gloss surface so labels stick well. Decent transfer speeds. Comes with A USB C to C cable. As well as A USB C to A cable.

My needs are a little different than most; I use the drive primarily for weekly backups around 200-250GB/week, in very, very large VM .7z archives for the most part. The Toshiba can handle a 100MB/s average write rate when you are copying under Windows 10 with a proper FUNCTIONING USB 3.1 port. (It turns out my previous poor review was due to static-nuked front ports.)

It works. You plug it in to your USB port and away it goes. A pretty good backup program gets installed and you just tell it what you want. What more could you want. The competitive product I had decided it needed all new software which didn't work. You do have to wonder why companies insist on trashing functioning programs with stuff that just doesn't work.

Easy to set up, good value
