WD 3TB external H/D

This is my first WD external and also the largest one so hopefully it will work well. I only have a 12MP full frame camera but the files I need to save from the average shoot can take up 60GB of space. It was real easy to set up because it was already formatted for my PC. Just plug it in and it's ready!
