Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this hard drive for my Xbox one. I had 1TB at first but I ended up using most of it so I upgraded to this one. It has so much space that its going to be a long time before I will have to delete anything.On the plus side it does fit great with the Xbox One with its design.

I have the original PS4 with only 500GB of storage space. The PS4 Pro (and the newer PS4 regular) comes with 1TB. I was constantly running out of space on my console, unable to install new games, download updates, etc. and I was hesitant to upgrade to a $400 Pro just for more storage space. I also did not want to risk installing a new HD on my own. With the new PS4 update, it allows you to use an external hard drive as additional storage space. (Note that you do not need the My Passport that specifically says it's for "PS4" in the title. The standard USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive will do.) I plugged it in and followed the simple instructions for my PS4 to format it, and voila, 4TB of additional storage -- thank god! I immediately downloaded all the games that were sitting in the queue, and also transferred all of my existing games to the external drive. I went from barely a GB of free space on my PS4 to about 300 free GB, which I can now use to save gameplay footage, screenshots, etc. without getting an error that there's not enough space. Works like a charm and I've had zero issues with it.

Did some research and found this hard drive would be compatible with PS4 to use as a memory device. Plugged it into PS4 with the supplied usb cable and it was formatted for use very quickly. Applications may be downloaded, however, save files and saved photos, etc can’t be saved to the drive. It’s really not an issue considering those files are very small. Transferred all my existing games to the drive and still have plenty of space. You can even select to use the drive as the save location for new applications you download which is convenient.

It is an excellent device easy to use it , I really like it ...ALREADY RECOMMENDED!

WD-My Passport is a viable and compact solution for backing-up computer files. This portable hard drive will fit into the pockets of some of my pants, making it easily transportable. It is quiet; I do not notice any noise when it is operating.

Great external hard drive. I buy all my games from the PlayStation store.

I had a desktop 3 TB drive with my iTunes and iMovie libraries on it and I was filling it up, so I thought, why not migrate to a portable drive? That way I'd never have to worry about the power cord and I could easily take the drive around with me to home or school. Well there's a trade off...you get the larger drive space with a portable, but I lost quite a bit of the seeking speed. It's nothing too bad, just a little spinning-wheel-of-death lag of 5 seconds when choosing a new song on iTunes or when dragging a clip in iMovie. Annoying, but usable. Stick with a desktop if you are a professional user, this is just for casual users with large databases.

1tb on my PS4 went real quick. I'm not even a gamer. I blame Red Dead Redemption.. Haha! Anyways I have the limited Days of Play Edition PS4 an I was lucky enough to fine this Royal Blue external that matched the color perfectly. Easy to set up, games load quick. A must have.

Works and looks great!!! I purchased this WD external hard drive to complement my Xbox X and red / black color scheme. No issues experienced and IMO the load times are the same; Plenty of space for the games I own as well as future games! 5TB total.

Purchase this 4TB HDD to save all my digital game collections. Transfer very quick and quiet over USB 3.0. It comes in different colors which is good since i have a lot of other black color hard drives already, so i chose Blue this time.

I am using it for storage for video, and have not had any problems with it! Plug N Play! Found it on sale, and can’t complain about anything.

I like it very much after I purchased it two weeks ago. It works as breeze and USB 3.0 does transfer the data quickly. I am considering to buy another one in the near future.

First time personally using this brand. It feels great and it looks cool. One of what looks like a sticky foot fall off already... Design needs to be improved.

I have used the drive to copy photos from an old notebook

It has good shape and valuable price. I recommend it.

Great storage, seem less connection, compact design

Recently got a gaming laptop and quickly ran short on storage. (I downloaded a lot of games) Purchased this for extra storage. So far it works perfect. Super easy to setup. I’ve moved all game programs to it and the still load quickly.

Fair price for hard drive - easy to set up and use

The product is nice, Colors are great, matching color USB cords. I am not a huge fan of the USB3 micro fan as the connection is not sturdy and slight movement and it disconnects. (not the drives fault. The lower Rating is due to Failure after 7months of use. It is failing Quick Diagnostics and intermittently works. I have created a RMa. I like the fact that WD still offers Advance RMAs as you can clone or copy your drive if it is partially functional.

I purchased this drive, because it was a great price for such an insane amount of storage. I wanted to use this as a working drive for video projects. The problem is that every single time I plug this drive into a computer Windows tells me there's a problem with the drive and it requires repair. This happens every time I plug it into any computer. My Mac won't even recognize the drive until I plug it into a PC to repair the drive. Really disappointed. I have logged a ticket with WD, but who knows when or if they will get back to me. I would stay away from this drive if you value your time.
