This is a nice, compact drive that is lightweight, and can safely be "stacked" on top of a console or PC with no threat of crushing or leaving indents after long periods of sitting. It can easily become inconspicuous, and even in view it is not much of an eye sore. As a matter of fact, it's black coloring goes just fine - sitting on top of my XBox One(top left - DO NOT PLACE THE DRIVE ON THE TOP RIGHT OF THE CONSOLE WHERE THE VENTILATION IS).
XBox One owners who have reached their storage limits would appreciate this. It IS practically "PLUG & PLAY". Practically, because you must not plug the drive usb into the console until you have FIRST powered up your console. I plugged - then powered up the first attempt, and the XBox didn't even sense it. Power up the console(give it time to load your home screen), plug in the HD's usb(I plugged it in the "rear" of the console), go to "Settings", then "Storage". **NOTE: It slipped my memory, but either right after plug in, or immediately after choosing the WD drive for future memory(next step), it will ask if the drive's primary use is for "photos and media", whether you have current photos on the drive, and/or is it for your "game saves and downloads". Know that it is about to format the drive, so if you have photos saved prior to moving it to the XBox - keep this in mind...you could lose them.**
I provided pictures, but you will notice your consoles built in memory option at first, and the WD Hard Drive option should be showing to it's right. You may immediately notice something seemingly off...
"1.8 TB???"
You haven't been ripped off. Think of that unprovided(to you) ".2 TB" as the HDrive's functioning brain. The drive needs memory space of its own to be the think tank for services provided to you. A brainless drive is a dead drive.
Just click or choose to switch your memory(and future downloads) to the WD drive. Somewhere either right before or right after, it will ask your preferences on what kind of content you want saved. After formatting, IT'S SET. It showed "27.1%" memory used(for me), leaving that 1.8 TB. My explanation will take much longer to read than setting this up yourself. It's quite easy. I have since successfully re-downloaded games that I had to delete to make room for others, and I have also successfully downloaded new ones. We even had a recent power outage flicker - no harm to the drive. So far, so good, and at one of the most reasonable prices on Amazon in it's class.

"1.8 TB" actual, but expected.

To my relief, this drive has been great so far. I'm pretty sure it came with a free trial of backup software, but you don't need to use it. You use it like a giant thumb drive, in fact, which is what I wanted -- and WD delivered. No bells and whistles, just space for backing up my files manually. It was ready to go the moment I plugged it in. The transfer speeds have been lightning fast! And it feels sturdy, too, like a well-made product, (though I got a case for it anyway -- just in case).
If you want a simple portable hard drive without any pesky background processes to slow down your computer, this is the one for you.

Worth it!
By Alana Duncan on February 19, 2017
I bought this drive because I was tired of the glitchy problems that other backup drives with built-in software have. My last drive, I wasn't even sure if anything was being backed up properly; every time it booted up, it seemed to treat the process as brand-new. So, it was time for an upgrade.By Alana Duncan on February 19, 2017
