While casually strolling through Best Buy I visited the external hard drive selection. I wasn't in the market for one, but this itsy bitsy drive caught my eye. All of my devices have backups either in physical drives or in the cloud. However, I had recently reset my Playstation 4 and found that the backup I had for it could not be used (this is a good time to remind everyone to have a physical AND a cloud backup as I was able to retrieve from one when the other failed). It was an aging WD MyBook that was clunky and difficult to connect to power and to the PS4 to do backups on a regular basis (folks, do backups on a regular basis). When I saw this tiny, shiny, metallic, bus powered with the same storage as the internal drive of my PS4 at an acceptable price, I bought it. Formatting the drive for the PS4 was beyond a headache which I won't detail because I think it has more to do with Sony and less with the drive. The drive itself was easily compatible with Mac or PC and was speedy. The bus easily gave it the power it needed. When I got it to a format the PS4 accepted I backed up my system with no hiccups whatsoever. Beyond using it for this purpose, I haven't explored any offered deals from WD included on the drive. I personally wipe whatever software is included on any external drive for I have never needed any of it (also, most of my work is on a Mac and this software rarely is compatible). But as a standalone drive; usefulness, size, price, design were all put into a really nice package that I can't help but suggest if you want a simple solution or need an external to travel with. Well done, Western Digital.
