    It's a lifesaver!

    I use this external drive frequently to back up important work files and digital artwork, and it really came in handy when my old PC unexpectedly bit the dust. I would have lost several years worth of work files, pictures, and other important stuff if I didn't purchase it. This external hard drive was definitely a life saver, and easily the best money I ever spent. I highly recommend buying one right now if you have important files on a computer, as the unexpected could happen at any moment. It is very easy to use!

    I purchased to replace two older externals used on an iMac for the "time machine" backup. There were indications that one of those drives were failing. Since installing these they have performed flawlessly.

    Bought this hd to replace an older version. Thought it would be a good idea to stay current on my backups and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Simple to setup and use. Nice and compact for moving around.

    I was offered this external hard drive by the geek squad since my sandisk external hard drive stopped working and I didn’t want to loose all the data that it had. So the geek squad was able to recover all of my files and transferred them to this one. So far it works but now I’m terrified of this one broke in the future. I’m going to have to invest in Apple iCloud storage.

    I've always relied on Western Digital drives for over 20 years and so far have never had an issue, knock on wood. This was on sale and being portable, with no power supply needed makes it easy to recommend

    This was so easy to use. I have never used an external hard drive before. It was easy to see it on my old laptop and easy to download files onto it. It was just as easy to upload the files to my new laptop.

    The WD Easystore was very easy to start using. Simply plug into your computer and it starts working on its own. It took quite a while to back-up but there was a lot of data to save.

    I bought it so Geek Squad could salvage some files from a crashed hard drive. The drive was toast, so they could not recover anything. So I use the Easystore to to backup my new computer. Works just fine!

    It's amazing how much capacity this little thing has - way more than I needed but it was the smallest one available - and it was still a reasonable price. It will be handy to keep all my pictures backed up.

    Though not the fastest on the market, the WD Elements' large capacity makes it an excellent deal considering its low price.You have to pay extra to use its included backup software after the introductory 30-day trial. The drive has no security features and carries a short warranty of just one year.
