What customers say
The core appeal of this open box drive is its exceptional value. Customers are highly satisfied with the significant cost savings achieved by choosing this option over a new unit, especially when paired with reliable performance. Most users confirm flawless operation, fast transfers, and dependable plug and play functionality. The main trade-off involves aesthetics; some drives arrive with minor cosmetic scuffs or scratches that buyers accept for the discount. While performance is generally excellent, a small number of reviews noted early health issues, indicating inherent risk. Overall, for budget focused buyers prioritizing savings over perfect appearance, this drive offers outstanding value.
Know before you buy
An open-box item is a product that was returned by a customer, often because it was the wrong color or model, or simply unused. These drives are inspected to ensure they are fully functional and include all original components before being resold.
The drive comes formatted for Windows out of the box. If you are using a Mac, you will need to reformat the drive using Disk Utility to make it compatible with macOS.
The encryption is built directly into the drive's hardware, meaning your data is scrambled and protected by a password you set. Because it is hardware-based, it keeps your files secure without significantly slowing down your data transfer speeds.
Yes, the drive includes Western Digital Discovery software that allows you to set up automatic backups. Once configured, it will periodically save your selected files so you don't have to remember to do it manually.
No, this is a portable 2.5-inch drive that draws all the power it needs directly from your computer through the USB cable. You won't need to carry around a bulky power adapter.
Yes, the drive is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports. However, you will experience significantly slower transfer speeds compared to using a USB 3.0 port.
