Customer Ratings & Reviews

This drive can be "shucked" by removing the case and the USB adapter board. Once the drive is pulled from the case, you can use it in a PC for storing movies or other data internally. At the sale price of $200, this is a great deal. It's not a super fast drive, but for storing movies and music it is perfect.

Works well and has lots of storage. Easy to use software included.

Reliable and quiet, high capacity, fast read/writes

This drive is a good choice if you want a great deal of storage...presumably for backup (don't rely on a single copy of anything, make duplicates). So far it has worked flawlessly. It is fast using the USB 3.0 connection. If you have a lot of stuff on your computer, this will allow you to protect it all.

Love this hard drive. Easy to set up and use. A lot of storage too

This is my second one. The other is full and I put on my shelf so I can go to it when necessary. These work great and have held up well. I highly recommend.

I'm happy with my purchase and recommend the hard drive to others. My only concern is when you can sometimes hear the hard drive operating within. This doesn't happen that often, but I have noticed it at times. Other than that, it's a good pickup.

My son's addiction to xbox game collection has driven me to purchase something that provides for compatible game play and can hold most of his gaming library. This HDD has certainly done the trick, and hopefully lasts him awhile before running out of space (again). Great price for the size and purpose.

Large amount of storage, small package. Excellent purchase.

Ran quiet and cool. Using this as warm backup on OMV. Works very well, filled about 60% and every single system backup verifies. Lowest priced per GB when bought using 15% coupon (WD trade in offer: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/recycling/storage-recycling-offer/pcmcat1628281022996.c?id=pcmcat1628281022996).

Easy to setup. Huge drive. I use it for movies and works great.

I bought this to back up a laptop before sending it in for repair. I do prefer Seagate/WD products for storage but lately I am buying more SD cards and Flash Drives as their storage capacity increases. I would buy this product again if I need a large amount of storage again. Thank you!

Plenty of space for people that need it. The price was good also.

Good Hard Drive It does what I want it to do, which is backup data

This HDD gives me the extra storage I needed at a great price.

Very easy to use. Great for storing large numbers of videos.

Excellent value at the $199 price I paid while on sale. Western Digital are typically the only drives I purchase. Drives inside are typically non-tler versions of HGST/WD white label red drives. YMMV however. They also need the 3.3v sata power unconnected to work. 100-150 MB's or so throughput.

Awesome hard drives. I have several of these that i use to back up my plex media to. I tend to fill these up completely from the get go, so i usually pull the cover off and set a usb 120mm fan over the controller board to cool it and the drive. Its easy to remove, just look up shuck easystore on youtube.

Works well so far. No problems. Easy to use.... Well priced.

Does really well. It works with the router and I can access from my desktop and my laptop
