Customer Ratings & Reviews

The SSD uses some of your storage capacity and it's quite a bit. Thus, even though it says 4 Terabytes it is really more like 3TB of space after the 1TB used for the system. They should advertise that so it is not false advertising.

I love these drives! This is my 2nd one. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the USB Cord that came with it is bad & I have to take it back to Best Buy.

I have used WD My passport previously as well. It is very reliable external hard drive. Just a bit expensive

So, let me start off this review by saying that the reason why I bought this drive was because my previous WD 4 TB drive failed. So why would I buy another one? I wanted one with a USB-C drive so that I could use it with my ultrabook without a dongle. This one was the cheapest USB-C drive I could find. Plus, it's small, light, and attractive in silver. I'm planning on getting another one in another color to serve as back up.

I can't speak to its longevity, since I only use these to archive data and then it gets locked away. But the size, capacity, and price are great. And not needing an external power supply is one of the main benefits in my opinion.

Great storage hard drive with lots of space. I bought this hard drive because I needed more space for my ps 5 seeing that my nephew of 15 years old is always wanting to come over and play on it whenever he can and I only play sport games on my play station and he is more into the fighting and war type games and my sister likes the regular games like Crash bandakoot or eighties type games and my nephew kept complaining every time he came over there was no space on the ps5 or what games he could take off to make more room for anything he wanted. The extra storage this drive gives me is incredible I was able to transfer just about every game I had onto this and still have almost 3500 GB left on it and have almost all of the space free on the ps 5 now. Would say is almost a must for a family that has multiple people that like to play on the PS5

I needed a lot of space with all the video and pictures I create. I saw this 4TB and had to try it. So far it has been a very good hard drive to me, compact, and fits easy in my backpack side pocket. Load and upload speeds are fantastic too.

its a lot of storage and portable for 4tb. good price but it is mechanical.

Easy to pack in luggage and plenty of storage for backups and/or a lot of media like videos, this is a simple and easy to use storage solution for a traveler or just someone not wanting one of those bulky drives with separate power supplies to use as a backup or media drive for their desktop computer.

Product easy to use with Laptop Computer; helpful for adding additional storage so that more space is available when I have to carry my Laptop on assignments away from home.

Fast downloading and great storage. Needed it to store a lot of big sized photos and is doing exactly that.

A replacement Drive from my Western Digital Mybook That i had to rebuild. So much smaller too.

It is very easy to use for transferring my pictures from my phone to it. Abundant amount of space for the price i paid. Great grab..

Bought this device to replace a 2gb solid state. Hardly notice the difference in speed. I currently have a 2gb Portable hard drive that I've had for over 5 years and still running without any issues.

Easy to use, plug and play , quick way to add storage to a computer.

This storage device works a treat on my MacBook Pro. However, I loaded the WD software that came with the device and immediately had problems with this and other disk drives, especially with Time Machine and an older RAID system that's been solid for years. Buy the device, but load the software at your own risk. I'll concede that there may have been cockpit problems on my part, but uninstalling the WD software as recommended in an article found on the web brought my system and drives back to normal.

Light and portable and high capacity. I have many WD external hard drives and they work good.

Love the storage capacity. Transfer speed leaves a lot to be desired. Price was a value for the storage space.

This is a memory dense backup system which has additional apps and features. There is more than enough space for my three machines. The only downside was that its own backup application failed to recognize it as connected to one of my laptops. Since I was only testing this application, it was a moot issue. My regular backup program read this just fine. It uses a USB C to USB C cable, included, which is still a bit unusual, but it works just fine. I had been using a USB C to serial adapter with my @Tb WD backup so I was a bit surprised at the change, but it seems not to have affected the upload speeds.

The storage space is such a big capacity for a very small compact device.
