Installation is a snap because you don't really "install" this drive; you just plug it in and it's ready to use. There is no CD to install; the included software loads from the drive the first time you plug it in. WD Sync™ synchronization and encryption software lets you save your critical data, and take it with you. Plug your drive into any PC, edit files, read e-mail, and view photos. Then sync all of your changes back to your home or office computer. (Windows only)

Carry your important files between work and home or on the road – share files between computers – even between Macs and PCs. Keep your big video and presentations files from your laptop backed up here, in case of . . . "issues". Small, light, and easy to shove into any available pocket – take it all along!
