Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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 portable back up! Lots of space and easy storage!

Very useful to have as a back up. So far so good for me.

I've owned WD products for years. Customer Service is excellent though you may never have a need to call them. Their products work great and last for a huge amuount of years. I have an external harddrive that has lasted over 10 years and still working like new. Bought this one because it can fit into my pocket so I can take pictures from my phone and transfer them to this harddrive, for example. It also made transfering files from my old computer to my new one very easy.

Wife does photography and we needed to get her something to store all her pictures. For the price point, size, and speed of this drive its a winner. I have WD and a few others but they are nowhere near as compact as this one. She brings it with us to Death Valley and Mammoth to safely store her pictures. May be getting a couple more.

Works like it should. Plug n play simple enough. Great having an extra TB of storage for only $45! Great buy. Runs pretty fast too.

Easy to use hard drive, plug in the USB and it's ready to go. Plenty of storage and a very reasonable price.

Good hard drive, nice price. Purchased this to give me additional storage for my PS5. Works great doesn’t slow down system that I noticed

Its 3.0 USB port makes it really fast to transfer information. The HDD design makes it easy for transportation. Western Digital is a great brand, 1 Terabyte is a really good deal for this price.

I used it to get clips in 4k from my PS5 and then transfer them to my computer. It worked perfectly for me

Strong, durable and compact. Easy to use andthe cost is pocket friendly.

I purchased this 2T WD External Hard Drive as a backup to many years of digital photos stored separate from my iMac. With some fairly simple formatting it has performed as I imagined! I have saved over 25,000 photos and 1500 videos on this external hard drive and store it separate from my iMac in case of a catastrophic failure of my Mac. It is comforting to know I have a second backup to my Time Machine WD Passport backup. These photos cannot be replaced and for a very cost effective price they can be preserved for years to come.

The peace of mind having an external hard drive brings is wonderful and its so easy to use.

Amazing. ITB storage in a small package. Easy to format for Apple, PC or both. Hard drive works as expected.
