Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like that I can store more things on the external drive and I like that it's small and it works really good.

This is a good little hard drive and super easy to use. Fast. Highly recommended for the money.

Excellent external hard drive for storing pictures taken on my phone. Its easy to keep pictures taken by camera on a separate drive for safety. Appreciate the ease of usage.

This is a great external hard drive. I plugged the EasyStore into my laptop and immediately the hard drive is recognized and ready to back up the data. I backed up an entire machine about 500 GB, and the process was easy, smooth and completed relatively quickly. Western Digital, in my opinion has always been a leader in external drives and I would highly recommend this brand and this model. There are storage devices with higher capacity, but this was all I needed and the price was great.

Lots and lots of storage. Compact. Very easy to use.

I needed an external backup device for making a copy of the hard drive, of an old laptop pc that was no longer working properly. The Geek Squad suggested this WD - easystore device, and they were able to make the backup for me, from my old laptop. Back home, I plugged the WD - easystore backup device into my new Windows 10 laptop, and within seconds it was up and running, and I had access to the files from my old laptop. It seems very easy to use, and runs quite fast. Windows 10 handled it automatically. I'm giving it 4 stars, rather than 5, because I haven't used it very much, and I haven't used similar external storage devices, so I cannot compare it's performance with other devices. But I'm pleased with how it works, so far.

I got this Western Digital 1TB External drive for storing the documents and pictures that I wil accumulate in the Spectre Nightfall that I also got with this drive. This will be my backup drive for whatever stuff I want to preserve and keep. I have formatted it and have stuff in there already, no problem. You cannot go wrong with this external drive! Go get one too!

Works great for the price, easy to use and store. Comes with all accessories to use and plug in to pc, laptop or tv.

Small and fast hard drive. Easy to use. Highly recommended for everyone. Not hot while reading/writing

The WD-Easystore has worked flawlessly. It provides backup on the road, and additional storage capacity for large projects that would otherwise overwhelm my computer when I am away from my home office.

With the holidays coming around, my nephew needed something to take to college next year. This hard drive will get him started. It's small design makes it not take up much space when laying next to a laptop. For now, the 1TB should hold all his music and any pictures during his first year at college. No need to get into all the technical details, as my experience with WD's have been positive over the past 20+ years in the computer realm. I've used many Western Digital hard drives in custom built pc's - so having this one on sale for half price (from 99 dropped to 49) was a great buy. You could get a much larger hard drive - but until you find you have way more stuff than would fit on a 1TB, try filling up a 1TB :)

perfect fit hard dive for adding extra storage to my ps4 especially with the size of the additional maps for games like Call of Duty. Easy to connect and format and small enough to have attached to console.

Very high speed, good value for money, great for travel

Great! Portable! Fast! Small! Perfect size! Recommended!

Super value for 1T external drive,quite compact & fast

The setup is good. The plug-and-play is great too. I am currently using it to store class materials, assignments, and other documents in the small HD. One thing is that my old laptop cannot read it. The devices that could read it are the school laptop, my personal Chromebook, and an office pc. Overall, it is good, and it is not perfect.

Does what We need it to do. Does what we need it to do.

External hard drive was purchased to copy data from damaged(?) hard drive on another computer, as well as providing for future storage. Geek Squad service people successfully completed first task and I look forward to doing the second personally. Having a portable HD with greater capacity than a thumb drive is more useful for photos and larger files. I feel that it is a good investment in a quality product.

The external drive is inexpensive, compact and fast!

I needed this portable hard drive to back up my laptop. It is great.
