The Western Digital External Hard Drive is a breeze to set up and use. All you need to do is plug it in, nothing to install. You also don't need to worry about turning it off or on, as it will go off and on with your computer. If you need instant storage for your important files or photo collection, this is the perfect solution.

It has a 2.0 USB connection which makes it compatible with multiple computers. The hard drive is also compatible with not only the PC, but the Mac as well. You can use it with Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, and Macs that run OSX 10.4.8 or higher.

The Western Digital External Hard Drive is pre-formatted using the FAT system, creating a single partition of 465 gigabytes. This assures that the hard drive is compatible on multiple platforms.

If you want a large capacity drive, the Western Digital External Hard Drive is a great choice. You will have plenty of storage and huge piece of mind knowing all your important data is backed up safely.
