    This hard drive is easily set up and easy to use. I had many years of files I needed to transfer off of a laptop and this handled all of the transferring with ease.

    Bluetooth headphones

    I needed a simple set of headphones for an online recording session. This will probably be a one time session so I didn't want to spend too much. For $19.99 I purchased a set of JBUDSPro wireless earbuds. A brief discussion with a Best Buy sales person helped me to decide what I needed. The earbuds were simple to set up and have worked very well for my needs.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent for my mass storage needs. Instructions that came in the box weren’t great, so had to look them up online, which was much better.

    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.

    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!

    Once I got it up and running it was good, but only after a trip back to the store! Geek squad guy tries it and said it was working fine but on my computer it wouldn't automatically open. He told me what to do. Problem solved. Bought 2 and am happy with them.

    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

    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 purchased this as a extension drive for my PS 4, the installation was easy, and it's very handy to have all the digital download games on a local drive. Glad I saw the advertisement.. I've been planing on getting an external drive, and you just couldn't beat the price.

    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.

    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!
