Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was exactly what I needed. It's small, portable, and 2TB is plenty of storage. I plugged it into the back of my TV and forgot it was there.

Great for portable backups. Not a speed demon, but it gets the job done. The price when I purchased it was very good so I bought 2. For years the only drives I have trusted have been Western Digital. They have rarely failed me and that took someone knocking the drive off the desk and onto the floor while it was being accessed. And even that didn't completely ruin it, I was able to mark bad sectors and continue using it. Anyways, the WD drives seem to give me fewer headaches overall.

Works great and is as advertised Only complaint is the drive is not completely empty as it contains a couple of bloatware files for some proprietary software, but those can easily be ignored and deleted if you so wish as the drive is usable without them.

I purchased this drive to perform weekly backups of the files and documents on my laptop. It was simple to set up (it's basically plug and play) and it has performed flawlessly so far. My laptop is getting a bit long in the tooth, and I know that one of these days when I least expect it, it's gonna' crap out on me. But thanks to the weekly backups I'm now doing, I don't quite worry as much about losing everything. All in all, it's pretty inexpensive peace of mind.

more than I really need, good price, good size, good value

Loved the size n storage capacity. Easy to take on the go (light weight), useful with a laptop, great to store photos and assignments for school. I bought several external storages in the past which were not only bulky in size but had less storage capacity than this product. I will be purchasing a few more for other family members and myself...will be transferring many old photos saved on desktop to this product.

I bought this to add to our PS4 for extended storage. Never had to use extended storage for that thing before, but my boy has added too many games and it was time to find more room. I was a bit worried about setting it up, but once plugged it, it was pretty intuitive to get it working on the PS4. I was also worried that moving games over to this thing would slow down the system during gameplay, but that hasn't been the case whatsoever. Works like a charm!

Very slim and works great with laptops. Great storage for a good price on hard drive. Easily accessible.

Small and compact, easily slips into briefcase. Plug and play. Huge volume. I needed something to move files off a no-longer-supported western digital home cloud and this made the process simple.

Very easy to use, and no issues in using it as external storage, it's very slim so I can fit it anywhere I want to without it occupying my space. Going from work to University I just have a GPS tag on it so if it ever goes misplaced I can easily find it. It helps me keep everything organized rather than having a bunch of smaller USB units.

I purchased the WD-Easystore 2TB USB portable hard drive to back up and transfer a lot of my personal Widows 10 files to a new Windows 11 PC. It was very convenient to do and I was very happy with the speed of the operation. As a plus, I am retaining these files on the WD drive as additional backup and I have plenty of room to store future backup files from the new PC. I highly recommend this drive.

I bought to plug into my router. It was easy to configure and now it show up as an extra 2TB hard drive on all of my computers. It is always on powered by the USB. I have checked it several times and it is always cool to the touch. I would recommend for this purpose or for basic portable hard drive storage with reasonably fast performance.

Very compact. GREAT price for the capacity. Plug-n-Play. ...easily recognized by my Mac. Quiet!! Appears to be working flawlessly.

excellent value for this Portable HardDrive, was able to unliad my entire one Pass.

If you are using a NAS or Cloud Service for backup, you may want to reconsider using attached storage with this drive. The price is incredibly reasonable and your backup software with be happy that it does not need to find a network device or a Cloud. It's so simple to use as once you configure your backup software, no more error messages and greater confidence that the backup was created based on your schedule.
