Customer Ratings & Reviews

Been using this Ext. for storing pictures, videos - which I would stream to Pc or TVs. So far the performance is good, have only used about 50GB thus far. The only issue I'm having is that at random times the Ext. would disconnect and not be readable on Pc or any of the TVs, the white light will stay blinking indefinitely. This does not happen all the time but is annoying. The read speeds are decent, take a couple of seconds to load thumbnails when browsing through the library- making me have to wait for the drive to catch up before scrolling down. So far it's alright, nothing special

Works great out of the box. Only thing it doesnt have is a power button. You just simply just remove power source after carefully unmounting from computer

Great for the size. A little bummed they came out with a 18TB version right after i bought this one. I need a lot of space. Hope it lasts.

Works great and speeds are also very good on 3.0 USB. Hides well with ventilation to ensure it will no over heat. Good buy at the 189 I picked it up for!

Works great, always top notch speed and have never had a failure.

So far, so good. I'm hoping the external drive lasts. Many times they seem to fail after a few years. I hope I have purchased a dependable drive.

Would have given 5 stars but 1) the utilities program doesn't work with Win7 and 2) startup and shutdown times have increased quite a bit. Otherwise, a nice Black Friday price for a lot of backup space.

Western digital is the way to go. Fast read and write speeds. All of my content on OneDrive. Very happy

Bought quite a number of them. The space/price ratio is excellent. We shipped aboard and no-one had any problem with them.

great item, fast hard drive, it works great. I got it while I was on Win10Pro and now I'm on Win11Pro and it still works great.

The product worked as expected. BestBuy online purchase was efficient.

I got WD140EDGZ from this. Linux smartctl indicates they are helium-filled, 7200rpm drives. I don't know the cache size, though.

Tested the drive with the included software, no bad sectors, the drive works great! Have had great luck with WD drives as opposed to Seagate drives.

Cant use for what i had intended it for which was an external storage for my game system.

Love this line of Hard Drive. Works with Mac or PC. Light sensor shines a bit on the cieling at night had to cover that up

Okay but not too easy to use. Not a bad product for a good price. Wait until Black Friday, usually they go for a decent price.

huge space for all the backups. great speed for the 5400rpm, getting 200MB per second on both read and write. much better the the seagate ones.

Great external hard drive, especially if you can grab on sale. I use it with my xbox one x, and never have to worry about running out space. Between the transition from disk to digital copies of games, and the fact that you get 4 free games a month from xbox live, a large external hard drive is the way to go.

Arrived fine and worked well at startup, but it is less than a month into its use and already it is crackling and even clicking at times- potential signs of bad sectors, and I fear I might need a replacement already. It also consistently gets over 120f, with an external fan facing it to keep it cooler, since it overheated to the point of needing to be shut off for a bit earlier in the week. : < No external damage either, it just seems something inside is faulty.

Quiet running, smooth transfer of information. Works as expected.
