Customer Ratings & Reviews

Highly recommended I can hold all of my files on here as a digital designer this is very important so I am totally grateful and it was not overly expensive and this economy every dollar counts!! Lol

Love this hard drive! Fast, small and portable and more importantly large storage. I feel the plug in part is already getting loose though. So be careful and don’t be aggressive in removing or attaching cable. I didn’t do that but maybe even just the strain from slight bend causes the connection to loosen on the HD

Super simple to use. Great price. Transfers files quickly. Small and portable size.

Reliable external hard drive. Bought this for my daughter in college, and she has become spoiled to the extra storage and ease of access this drive provides.

I was looking for a portable storage drive for a reasonable price and this one fit the bill. It's slim and easy to handle. It is also backward compatible to USB 2.0. I planned to use it as external storage for my Dish Hopper and it worked. I didn't use any of the software it came with as Dish Hopper formatted it.

I've been using these for client deliveries. They're tiny and lightweight so easy to toss into the camera bag and hand-off at the end of the day or ship when a job is finished. Typical WD reliability; I've never had an issue with one. Plenty of space, great value.

I'm using it to clear off an older external drive and it's working great. I still have more to transfer to it but otherwise it's holding all the files fine.

I live over 2000 miles from my parents home in Illinois. This small drive is perfect for storing their files, records and documents as I review and shred 90+ years of their lives. The Best Buy staffer was very helpful in determining which portable drive would fit this purpose.

It's small, convenient, easy to install (plug & play), and inexpensive! What's not to like?

I love this ease of this external hard drive! I've been putting all of my photos on it. It is going to make photo projects much easier! it is very compact and sleek. It's so small I barely notice that it is there. I've downloaded almost all of my photos and I still have tons of space left for more. I would

Love it! Easy to use! Love the brand! Keeps all my design stuff in one place!

Great litttle external drive. Easy to use, small and compact, lots of storage room, what more could you ask for? It was a great price too on sale! Recommend you pick one up to expand your storage capacity, good investment!

Nice hard drive at a really great price. The hard drive is small and a thin size and can hold a lot of files. The set up is easy and the box has a usb cable included. Files load quick and save quick.

Easy to set up and transfer files. The external hard drive was exactly the answer to create permanent records of all files on my laptop. Great backup in case my hard drive fails. The Western name is a good, trustworthy name and the price could not be beat anywhere for a comparative item.

'Easystore' portable backup is an excellent choice for my computer's backup needs. Its performance has made it a worthwhile purchase and it meets all of my expectations. The 1 TB drive succeeded with backing up my important files and folders including music and pictures. It's multi-functional with three different Windows operating systems so I'll have the option to use it even if I change to one of the other systems in the future. The set-up process was simple and efficient, and it quietly runs in the background according to the schedule that I selected. The diagnostic tools that are readily available through the provided software help me to monitor/maintain the storage drive at its peak level. Very satisfied, highly recommend.

This is the right size storage device for me. I duplicate what I store and this is the same size as my other storage device. Good price, small size, and ease of installation make it perfect for me. I do not game. I do store pictures, documents, and music scores (Sibelius) I create.

I bought this when it was the deal of the day. I wanted a USB drive and this was the right size at the right price. I have several WD NAS drives and have been very happy with them and never had an issue with software from WD. With this WD easystore, the supplied WD backup software was a REAL pain to install. It requires WD Discovery software, which I have of course as part of my NAS setup but this stuff installed a second Discovery software setup. That resulted in a constant error message to be displayed. Took long time to figure out what was causing that. WD Backup is just OK when it works. Doesn't wake system from sleep which I wished it would. I DO like that it doesn't shrink the files or store them in one big file. That way I can find them easily on the drive with a file manager. Other than the software, the drive works great to store my files.

I bought this specifically to store documents and videos of my D&D sessions, since they were bloating my hard drive. It's really small and easy to store and travel with. I use it to transfer work files between my PC and laptop too. Does the job and no issues so far.

This thing speed tested better than I had expected. It is a fine inexpensive solution for storing data. No power needed. Just plug the thing in and it works. It is wild to me how small and how much technology has improved over the last few decades...

very easy to use and fast transfer time from old comouter
