This is my third or fourth storage device from WD and I could not be happier with my choice. This device is stable and easy to use. It does not take up much space and I can have multiple backups in different locations.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

I picked up the Easystore 2TB external hard drive specifically for use with my Mac, and it's been flawless. It connected easily, and after a quick reformat to macOS Extended (Journaled), I had it working as a Time Machine backup drive within minutes. It runs quiet, stays cool, and transfers large files quickly — exactly what I needed for backing up my music projects, videos, and design files from my laser engraver.
The build feels solid and reliable. For any Mac user looking for simple, dependable backup storage, this drive is a great deal. Highly recommended.

I use the WD Easystore 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive with my desktop to store all my documents. Easy plug and play. My desktop only came with 256GB so when I needed additional storage this was the best value for the price I found. It's fast and dependable and the small form factor is a definite plus. If you need additional storage for your computer I highly recommend this external HDD as your first option.

The WD Storage 2 TB is very good. I got a way from cloud storage through windows and have all my information on one storage drive, which is the WD. It was very easy to download stuff from my computer to the WD it actually ran by itself once you given command. The price was just right. I would recommend this to anyone

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 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.
