    I literally plugged it in to my iMac, went to the Disk Utility application, selected this external hard drive, selected erase and then it prompts you to rename this external hard drive and then I reformatted it as journaled. It took about 1 minute to reformat. After that I selected to use as my time machine back up and then it all started backing up my iMac--which took about 4 hours (maybe less) to complete. Pretty simple and I like it's size and how the little tabs underneath help it from slipping on my desk. Now I sit, wait and hope I get many years with this product.

    Needed some extra storage to backup my desktop pc and I've always had good luck with Western Digital. Best Buy had the WD Easystore 2TB External Hard Drive on sale and I decided to give it a try. It's small, very light and connects directly to my PC with a 3.0 USB cable. No external power cords to mess with and it came with Western Digital backup software at no additional charge. It runs in the background and after you can program it to backup your everything the first time and after that it will only backup files and folders that are new or have been altered. I've had it for a month and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this product.

    The drive connects via USB 3.0, offering decent read/write speeds for a spinning hard drive—typically around 100-120 MB/s in real-world use. It’s not SSD-fast, but it’s more than capable for backing up files, storing photos and videos, or expanding console/PC storage. It’s compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around. The plastic casing feels a bit basic, but that’s expected in this price range. It’s unobtrusive and gets the job done

    This portable hard drive is the best thing I've invested money in for my important data storage. Super easy to import new data and access. Large storage space yet affordable pricing. Very simple yet sleek design. Highly recommended!

    I recently had a major anxiety attack as my old computers were having issues I was worried about losing data stored on these old computers over the years. A helpful tea support person at Best Buy suggested I try this easy to use external, portable hard drive. He was able to locate and store all of my photos from four old computers onto one 2TB external drive! I could finally breathe easy again. I think everyone should have one or more of these!

    My 1TB external drive wasn't going to have enough spare space for work I was doing, so I looked for a 2TB one and the price was right on this. I didn't realize how TINY it is! It worked exactly right from the start and takes up so much less space on my desk. Just about the size of the palm of my hand!

    What can I say. So far so good. Connects and recognized by console without issue. Short-term functionality and reliability good. Will see how things go over time but seems an excellent value.

    I used to have a 500gb drive and stored all my files and pictures of cats. It was almost full. Then due to the horrors of moving every 2 seconds, it was damaged. How will will I store more pics of animals doing human things now? 2TB?! Works great. Lots of storage for all of your memes, Soundcloud tracks and personal fanfics. A good price and also with other storage sizes if you indeed need more storage for big videos of your pet sleeping. WD has been a trusted storage name for me for a while. Would save cat pics in again.

    This 2 terabyte hard drive was priced the same as a one terabyte. I got it for a very good price and it suits my needs perfectly. I prefer using external harddrives for evidence in a case so that I can place the evidence on its own drive and take itto court. Courts have really bad wifi.
