    After moving data that goes back to the late 1990's, in a flash it all disappeared. I work in IT. I've tried to recover the data, but it appears to be vaporware. I don't recommend this drive.

    I needed enough external storage to back up my laptop that had to be sent out for repairs, and the WD Easystore 1TB drive was perfect for that. Not only did I need to access the backed up files on the external drive using my wife's computer while mine was gone, but also to restore the image, or complete system and data structure, of my laptop when it was returned. The Easystore allowed me to easily drag and drop the files needed for backup to it, then once plugged into my wife's computer provided the same directory and folder structure as my laptop had. When my laptop was returned I quickly restored the files on the new hard drive in it. Installation was instant, performance was flawless and the price of only $50 made backing up my files affordable. And now I have a drive to store movies, videos and other files to be accessed by other devices for trips or in-home viewing. The Easystore is very compact and ruggedly built, so convenient to take with you yet strong enough to withstand typical bumping or dropping. I love it.

    Great Compact Solid State External Drive!

    I have been using this SSD for three months as a backup for my PC and could not be more pleased. The setup was simple and straightforward while hourly backups run automatically in the background. I used it to copy the hard drive of an old computer onto a new one in just a few minutes without problems or difficulties. (When I restored a hard drive from an online cloud backup on another computer that same process took several days). Now it's a reliable backup that is almost silent and has allowed me to cancel my online cloud subscription for less than half the price of the annual subscription. Although mine doesn't move its small thin size makes it very portable. Great drive for a great price!

    No surprises so far from this external hard drive. Package arrived undamaged and its small overall footprint size is a plus not only when it use but when stored in my laptop bag. Easy setup for a new laptop to ensure important backup files are saved for future reference. Quick transfer of files and no issues with easy of use. Great value for the money and I would recommend it to my friends who may also want a reliable way to back up files easily.

    The WD Easystore 1TB external drive is exactly what I needed for backing up files and organizing my media. Setup was as simple as plug-and-play—recognized instantly by my laptop with no extra software required. Transfer speeds are solid thanks to the USB 3.2 connection, and it’s surprisingly compact and lightweight, making it great for travel. I’ve used it to back up photos, videos, and work documents without a hitch. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable external drive, this one delivers without any fuss.
