Tough drives but cheap cover

Also it falls asleep and takes a few seconds for it to start back up. the micro USB in the back is loose as well and can fall out very easily but I got this item because I had bought the 1TB my book and it bombed on me before a year was up so they sent me this not bad at least WD looks out for there customers at least for me they did.

Great! Mac Mini Compatibilty

Cost less than half as much at another place, where I got mine. So at that price point it is the bomb for storage, fast video playback and transfer. Easy hook up but always download latest drivers and fireware from WD site before installation.
