This review is from: WD 2TB Elements Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model WDBU6Y0020BBK-EESN Black
Pros:
It's Western Digital - they're excellent drives, what do you excpect?
Cons:
WARNING: NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS XP
The product description clearly says these are compatible with Windows XP and up; in fact, that's one of the reasons I purchased two of these, on sale - my work computer is XP (!), and I needed a large capacity drive to transfer stuff between work and home. Anyhoo, right on the box it says comaptible with Windows 7 and up; I tried in on XP machines - they do not recognize the drives. But I am still giving a 5-egg rating because they're good quality, as expected.
Unfortunately for me, I let both of these drives sit around for longer than 30 days before checking them out (assuming all was as it should be), so I'm stuck with them; I can certainly use them, of course, but all very irritating and disappointing.
Overall Review:
Works fine on a Windows 7 Pro.
Newegg, please make sure the product descriptions are accurate.
