The WD external USB Hard drive is very easy to use. For the price, it can't be beat!

This was easy to set up for the extra storage I needed and holds a lot of large files, like videos and pictures.

Small and easy to use, and to take with you when you travel.

Pair originally used as Raid 1 Apple TIme Machine backup for Mac Mini. Repurposed as Raid 0 striped pair to extend Mini small SSD capacity. Working fine on Mac Ventura OS update

I use this on my PS5 to play PS4 games and it works wonders. I've used it for transferring PC files via HDMI 2.0 and it's very fast. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to expand their storage or just save pictures, music or any kind of files.

It is small in size and is easy to install. It works great!

Fully functional and fast with the USB 3.0, I was able to back up my SSD in a few hours. The provided software, however, leaves a lot to be desired, as i couldn't get it to 'back up. the computer's HDD. So I just copied the D: drive to the EasyStore and it worked well enough to provide a backup in case the main SDD dies.

Easy to use. Good product. I would recommend this product for your backup needs.

Easy to use bought for my son’s Xbox. Great for the price.

The only problem with the drive was the price. I paid about $40.00 each for two 4TB drives made by the same company about 4 years ago. I bought them at Best Buy also, why the big change in price.

The WD 2TB External HD is good value for money, especially if transfer speed/time is not an important requirement. For example, I backup my MacBook Pro (MBP) to the WD 2TB HD every night using Time Machine (TM). I set the TM backup process in motion and generally don't use my MBP much until early next morning. So, for me, transfer speed is not a critical requirement.

- Great external hard drive - Easy to use - Super easy data backups. - Solid Imaging Solution.

It best device to store all family photo and data before reboot our devieces. So, it has much amount of storage . It is 2TB

These things are great. I always find myself needing more because I am a hoarder both physically and digitally. My only complaint is that I've gotten larger external drives for less money. Inflation is killing the price of data storage.

Plugged it into my ps5 to offload some games and footage and it worked perfectly even with the upgrade ssd it’s nice to have room for my stream.

This is awesome! Doesn’t need an external power supply, just the usb cable that it comes with. I’m using for my PS4. It was super easy to set up, plug in, click 2 options and done. The only complaint is that PS4 takes forever to “copy” the download to it. I’d highly recommend it.

The WD Easystore's have always been my go-to for hard drives, mostly because they're always in stock at my Best Buy. These are as great of an option as anything else I'd find on Amazon or some other tech stores. And they're constantly on sale, if you sign up for BestBuys email then you're basically guaranteed to see one of these on sale at least once a week. This isn't a fault of WD specifically but moreso the whole external drive industry. For the love of God, please switch over to USB-C already. The stupid Micro-USB sibling that they all use today hasn't been a broadly used port since the Galaxy S5. The $2 price hike to implement that port instead is more than worth it for consumers and its more likely someone would have a USB-C port lying around if they lost the included one than the stupid on they have now.

This was a gift for my 65 year old mother. It works perfectly, and is easy to use.

I was in need to another external and found this one while doing my research before purchasing. More than enough storage for my needs, compact in size for easy portability, and it was on sale at the time I bought it. It was very easy to make dual compatible between PC and Mac. If you plan to reformat for dual compatibility, I suggest doing this before you add files because rewriting the drive will erase everything that’s been stored. If you already have files on the drive, you can copy over the files to your desktop then reformat the drive, and once the reformatting is done (process doesn’t take long at all, just a couple clicks) you can drop the files back onto the drive.

Quality 2TB storage solution from WD. Bought it to use with my media server running on an Ubuntu server and works great. Speeds are what you would expect for an external HDD. Purchased it for a heavily discounted price and would definitely buy from WD again.
