Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far, so Good, I've bought 3 (or 4, I've lost count) of these. They seem to work okay. I do have a beef with WD as a manufacturer: I don't understand why there are vast differences in durability, longevity, reliability, and quality within the WD Brand of drives. (I had a couple of WD Passports, which died within months of my purchasing them. These I do not recommend). My Drives Soap Box: Considering how dependent on Technology, and rising Storage needs, we are (and I don't foresee it returning to smaller storage needs)--and especially if one does not wish to rely on "Cloud Storage," outside our home--it's ultra important to have good quality, reliable, durable, (did I mention reliable? Did I mention durable?) drives, available at reasonable prices. By Reliable I mean several years of durability. My first WD drive purchase (a WD PP III Studio II 320 Gb FW external), is already 11 years old, and still works. It also does have two different modes of connecting with my 2011 and 2012 Macs (Firewire, and Micro USB-to-USB), a feature I wish more drives had. I wish it was still available. As for the 3 EasyStore Drives, they're already nearly 1 year old, and they *appear* reliable. Lets hope they don't disappoint me, for I'm about to invest on yet a 5th (2Tb) one...

Good product decent price easy to use pretty cheap for 2 tb

Purchased as a backup for an aging laptop. This has more storage capacity than I really need at this time, but this allows me to move precious memories to a secure storage device, allowing access if the primary device ever fails. Of course, this requires me to be diligent about backups, but the WD external drive will handle that automatically for me - makes my life easier. And, based on current performance, I know that I'll not lose important files and memories if my current laptop fails before I'm ready to replace it. Again, an excellent value for a produce that performs as intended. I would purchase this again if the need arose.

This has a USB connection to connect to a converter to my MacBook. I formatted to MacOS using the disk utility. Then I was able to connect Time Machine and now have current backups.

It’s such a good product for the price and the set up was easy to understand. I love how much storage it has on it too.

I used this portable drive to back up my dad's old Macbook in order to update his OS. I also partitioned the drive so he can easily use it as a USB to drag whatever files he wants. Works great and no issues at the moment.

Western Digital makes the most reliable HDD hands down. That bring said you have less chance of failure with their SSD as there are no moving parts, but high Capacity of Solid State Drives such as a 10 TB are not yet available. So the solution is to use the SSD as your startup drive and redundant HDD as your storage drives. Your selection choices are important - you want a HDD drive that has a good chance of being around for at least 3 years, and need a backup drive and/or cloud storage. WD As a pro photographer, WD remains my top choice for most reliable HDD, and SSD, and I have had bad experiences with other brands. If any HDD drive fails and you are not backed up, recovery is both costly, and time consuming if possible at all - so do all you can to reduce that risk.

I bought many WD 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drives from Best Buy and all have worked very well in storing files and photos. I'd recommend them especially since the price is usually very reasonable

Bought to use for backing up my PC. Needed more storage space and used this as an upgrade. So far so good, no complaints. Easy Plug and Play and have had no issues with using it as a backup drive.

I store photos from my phone on my computer...and computer storage fills up. And sometimes computers crash. This is a great little external hard drive to plug in and backup all those memories! And it’s small...so it doesn’t take up much room to store or carry with you. Great purchase!

Nice and compact. Easy to use. Great storage. Good for students.

I was holding off on purchasing an external hard drive for my gaming system because I thought it was too pricey and it will be too complicated to use. However this item was a good bargain at under $60 and super easy to use. Nice.

Works well and quick in transferring data and pictures

good performance and price im used for video data backup but i can edit videos from this device whitout problems.

does what what it is supposed to do, hold tons of data. never had issues with western digital and hoping this one works like a charm like my others

Well, i have an online store, so i take a lot of photographs. This sweet little box seems to store all of the photos i can throw at it. Its really small, so it's easier to take with me when i am on vacation and still working.

Purchased this as external storage for a PS5. Worked without any issues. Plug in, format and it's good to go. All my PS4 games now reside on my external drive freeing up space on the internal SSD. Highly recommend.

So far so good. I had a lot of pictures and videos that needed to be moved from both my tablet and also my cell phone. I still have ample room for future pictures and videos. This was a great value for the price!

No issues with it, easy software install. Lots of memory to hold game folders and pictures.

Easy to use with plenty of storage for all of my files
