Customer Ratings & Reviews

I used this hard drive for a data-heavy project, and it performed flawlessly. It handled large files with ease, offering fast transfer speeds and stable performance throughout. The build feels sturdy and dependable, making it a great choice for long-term data storage. If you need a hard disk that can keep up with demanding workloads, this one won’t disappoint.

The drive was easy to set up. Plug and play. I am running mine thru a USB 3.0 to thunderbolt adaptor. It seems rather speedy. There have been no problems as yet....stays connected to my Mac thru sleep cycles and wakes when needed.

Was very easy to setup and use. No issues and down loaded my data quickly.

Bought this to backup an external drive that has all of our pictures, music and videos. Works great and small enough to store in a safe deposit box. Great price and product.

Nice compact HDD, does the job and works as soon as you plug it in

Great compact size with superior ease of use. For under $50, you can't beat this deal. True example of "plug and play".

Purchased to use with my PS5 for my backlog of PS4 games. Works great, super easy set-up: just plug and play (it may ask you to format but if it does just click okay and it’ll do it automatically). Can’t use it to play PS5 games on but works like a charm for playing PS4 games on a PS5; Plus, after it’s set-up you can change your PS5 settings so that PS4 games are downloaded to the external Hard Drive by default. Highly recommend at the price I got it (~$50)!

Good idea to move in this direction…very satisfied

Western Digital is known for its quality products! This external USB drive is compact and easy to use. It has plenty of space for all your documents and files.

I have a lot of different storage devices. It is great to have a easy to use external storage device

This unit is much easier and smaller than my old unit. There is 1TB of storage available. Set up is easy. You can pick it up and go if need be.

My son ran out of hard drive space on his PS4 and this simple external hard drive was the answer. All he had to do was plug it in and format the drive and BAM 1tb of more space. Great product at a good price.

This device is exactly what I needed to backup documents and photos. WD-Easystore has no set-up just attach and use. It is easy, fast, and compact. I love it!

Got this external HDD in a hurry to install macOS Sierra on because a critical piece of software I use had massive issues once I upgraded to High Sierra. This was the first time I had ever installed an OS on a external drive and I must say the USB 3.0 interface didn't disappoint! This drive handles the use of the OS in a surprisingly quick fashion. There's not much of a visible difference in speed between this HDD and the internal one of my Mac other than the initial boot up where the internal is a bit quicker. But my Mac HDD is a Fusion drive which is pretty much a Mac branded SSHD so comparing that to a fully mechanical USB drive isn't completely fair in all aspects. I love this item though and the capacity and speed are I think worth as much if not a little more than what Best Buy sold it to me for! The only negative so far is that I can't put this drive to sleep successfully when running the OS after being unused for the user specified time. When I go to wake it the monitor just won't come on and to get anywhere I have to manually restart the Mac. So just don't put it to sleep and your gold! :D I'm sure the power draw is fairly insignificant anyway and won't be something that isn't worth the great use it's giving you. So I highly recommend this item and I hope it works as great for you as it is for me.

Great backup drive option of your PC! This product is affordable and excellent for the people trying to save space up. Easy to use and works as expected.

Light weight and it's very fast. Best portable hard drive at great price. Size is also very compact. I hooked up with my Chromecast with Google TV.

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made!!! I use it to save my personal and business Excel spreadsheets for income tax purposes. It gives me peace of mind knowing that all my work is backed up and saved in case something happens to laptop.
