If you’re prepared to deal with this drive’s somewhat quirky way of operating (showing up as multiple devices when connected etc.) then it’s actually a very nice product. I’ve been using it for a few weeks with no problems, and the tiny form factor is really nice as it is significantly smaller that the previous generation of portable drives (due I think to the USB interface being integrated into the drive itself so there are no additional electronics required in the case).
A good choice if you know what you’re doing. Probably not so great for the less savvy user.
WD made an attempt with this device’s software to offer solutions to some of the problems people have with similar drives, and they are relatively successful if you’re willing to do things their way. If not, then you can update the firmware and configure it to operate like an ordinary dumb drive, and it works fine either way.
The software can be annoying at times, but the hardware is top rate.

For an old techie this is fun!! It’s a lot of power in a small handheld computer/storage device. Learning curve is steep, but a little help from a three year old makes it easier. Wifi internet capability is in the mix along with many apps for fun, free or purchase. Movie, music and audio downloads abound. Good product. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
