Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had to repplace my old laptop, due to it becoming outdated. This new unit works great.

Western Digital reliability as usual. Easily connects to the laptop so pictures can be downloaded from our phones and onto the drive. It’s small enough to be easily stored in a safe place. Happy with the purchase.

This portable HDD (as well as the other storage size variants) are probably one of the safest options for typical household storage needs all the way up utilizing it for commercial/professional use. It can be ready to go straight from the box for probably 95% of users. For the other 5% of users, you may need to configure it to be able to be used by both Mac and PC. There are plenty of tutorials out there on setting that up, but for a complete beginner I believe you can get it done within 10 minutes easy!

So I called tech support, looked all over the packaging, tried to find out how to download the drivers. Well, you plug the thing in and the files are already just stored on the drive. Pick MAC or PC and go. Thumbs up for nice price on 1TB storage, plug and play. Thumbs down for lack of instructions.

Excellent backup drive. I recommend this! The storage space is huge at 1TB.

GREAT little item!! EASY to use, and makes transferring files, and photos SIMPLE!! easy drag and drop. Highly recommended. The cost makes it a no brainer! AFFORDABLE!! A WIN item for sure!

This portable hard drive works great for what i need it for and at a very good price. Easy to set up and stsrt using. Sales people were also very helpful.

I ordered this to record local programs from my AirTV unit. It works great.

Found this to be much easier then jumping back and forth.

This small, stylish hard drive is worth the price. It's easy to use and is super-fast. It fits perfectly in my backpack and it's been a helpful back-up tool for all my documents.

great item easy to install and setup quality is good great price 1tb of room saves everything i need to save to it , fast response time yes i would buy again

It is easy to set up and it works great. Had lots of stuff to backup and still have lots of capacity left on the drive. It's small and unobtrusive on my glass desk. Really like it.

Western Digital Hard Drives and devices have been my go to data storage solution for years. I use them yearly as a backup solution for my digital pictures, and other files backup up on an individual year basis. They are compact, have a large capacity, are easy to use, and do not require a college degree to setup and get started with out of the box, I have had no problems, or failures with any of the external WD hard drives I have in use for digital picture and file storage. Plus the WD price is generally reasonable, and I try to shop for drives when they are on sale locally.

This external hard drive is absolutely fantastic...works like a charm. Easy to use...small enough to store easily...has a lot of space to free up your main computer. Highly recommend to all.

This has been excellent for keeping all of my memories safe and making some space on my computer! It's small and I haven't had any problems with it!

Works great! Much better than saving stuff on the cloud.

Happy with product. Price and service from Best Buy were great.

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.

Very great. It works perfectly no error for now and recommended to buy it

It’s good for the buck. It is fast easy access response and very reliable. Good security protection and easy to set up, can’t go wrong with this little external drive.
