    This is my second ext. HD from Western Digital. I had one for on the go and one that stayed at home. They are very easy to use. Basically no setup required with Windows; haven't tried with Mac. The biggest problem I have with WD is the hard drives cannot handle much for wear. I had both HD go bad with very small bumps. Come on, these are external HDs which are "Portable". They will come into some banging around. Once they go, kiss your data goodbye. And their support will replace in warranty, but not your data. This goes for the extended warranty that Staples will sell. Staples does not support, it goes back to WD.Do yourself a favor and make sure you purchase a protection case. I did and it is suppose to give protection from a 6 foot drop. Haven't had that happen yet, but hope if it does, my data is safe with this additional purchase $29.

              • Q:

                I want to buy a WD Green 1TB (WDBAAY0010HNC ) and want to move the drive currently in my MacPro into a case... to use as an external back up drive.

                Does this drive have the WD Green internal?

                Does Staples sell just the SATA case?

                • A:

                  The Western Digital Elements SE 1TB Portable Hard Drive is a comparable drive to the WD Green 1TB (WDBAAY0010HNC) but is not identical. Staples does a SATA case you can put your old drive into for use as an external drive.
