    I have to have these from time to time to back up files when out in the field doing shoots and videos. When traveling and can't be home having these handy to quickly back up is a must.

    Western Digital always makes a good product at a decent price. This drive is no exception and I am using it to store all my music currently. I did load the software that comes with the unit, but I am not going to use any of that functionality personally. To me this would especially good coupled with a computer with an SSD drive.

    I purchased the WD Easystore portable hard drive as a back up for my laptop. Although it was confusing getting it started for back-up I figured it out and backed up my pictures, videos and documents. Boy am I glad I did. Less than a week later my laptop crashed and I had all of my information stored on the WD Easystore. Relief!

    This was a quick and easy way to expand the storage capacity of my Xbox console. Just plug into one of the USB ports on the Xbox and boom! You have an extra 2 terabytes to store your downloaded games.

    I bought this to use as a PS4 external drive. I've used numerous WD externals as backups for my computers with no issue whatsoever so I felt confident in putting it to use with the PS4. Thus far it has worked well but in times when the power is unexpectedly turned off (such as power outages in thunderstorms) I get a "device error" that has to be fixed when the PS4 is turned back on. So far it hasn't damaged any data, but it weighs on my mind since I don't yet have a lot stored on there. Overall, it's a solid drive that hasn't failed yet, but that error message gives me a little worry (have gotten it twice in the past two months when the power was knocked out, one of those times unexpectedly with no major storm present). Never had that happen when my computer was shut off while one was connected in a power outage, so it's something with the way it interfaces with the PS4. Might be a concern, or might just be a very minor thing that doesn't affect data at all.
