Very ease to use and the best part is that it has 3.0 USB which is so fast and efficient while doing task or transferring data over. I will buy it again and recommend it to a friend without a doubt. Also you can store console games as well.

easy to use, good price. I bought this as separate storage for my Mac. still figuring out how it works but I picked this one because I have another one using for my PC. Never had any issue with the first one

Bought it to add more memory to my son's xbox one s since the internal hard drive was almost full. Since I've had one for my xbox for years with no issues I definitely knew the easy choice for another hard drive. It is so easy to set-up. All you have to do is plug in into a usb port on the Xbox and a pop up will appear asking if you're using it for media or gaming. If you're like me using it for more memory since games like warzone or halo can easly take up 100gb it'll automatically format it for the Xbox to store games and its ready to use with your Xbox. Less than two minutes to setup, with it being on sale is a no brainer for anyone looking for extra storage.

This is an incredibly compact (smaller than a smartphone) and handy external hard drive with an amazing 2TB capacity. It is ideal for backup storage; or just for off-device storage of less frequently accessed files or photos which can be extremely useful for devices that have limited onboard storage capacity. It provides fast access to files and is very easy to use-- just plug & play.

Compact, easy to use external hard drive with plenty of room for all of my storage need. The small size makes it so very easy to store and transport. I absolutely love it, and recommend it. I have an older hard drive (tower), and this Easystore is much more practical for safe storage.

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.

I have found Western Digital to be highly reliable for storing photos. This is my first SSD hard drive. The size is great for carrying to a different location. The 2 TB will provide room for many photos. It is well constructed with a case made to take rough handling. Since no spinning drive, I feel it will last a lot longer than my other drives.

It is surprising how far technology has come in just a couple of years. The last external hard drive I bought was about the size of a typical small phonebook and had to have a AC power source. Imagine my surprise when I saw this one to find it about the size of a deck of cards and a 3.0 USB as a power source! I have to say it performed flawlessly transferring our recordings from a older DISH DVR Hopper and back again to their newest version! We had over 1TB of recordings & it ran for over 24 hours just fine! (It was the 6 y/o DISH DVR receiver we had that was old tech and worn out reason it took so long to transfer) I would buy one of these again in a heartbeat! Maybe next time I need one, they will be the size of a quarter! : )

The WD Easystore 2TB External USB 3.2 Gen 1 Portable Hard Drive is an excellent product! I was impressed by its sleek and compact design, which makes it perfect for traveling or storing in small spaces. Setting it up was a breeze; it connected quickly to my devices, and the transfer speeds are fantastic—perfect for backing up large files, photos, and videos effortlessly.
The 2TB capacity is more than enough for my needs, offering ample storage for work projects and personal data. I appreciate the plug-and-play functionality and how reliable it is. Overall, it delivers great value, solid performance, and peace of mind knowing my files are secure. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for portable and dependable external storage!

Excellent product. Easy to set up and user friendly. Compact for travel. More space than i now need but plenty of room for growth. Must own if you have a computer

The hard drive will fit in the palm of your hand but yields a massive amount of storage. Essentially plug and play. Easy to navigate. The price was unbeatable.

I bought this several weeks ago, but just started using it a few days ago. I'm using it to back up some critical files. Right out of the box, only needed to plug in, and after a brief download of driver which starts automatically, I was able to begin copying files.
Process was very speedy and simple with copy/paste or drag and drop functionality. I love the compact, sleek design. After copying the files, I put it back in the original packaging for extra protection, but it sits very nicely on desk or PC tower without getting in the way if you want to use for continuous backup.
I returned a Seagate drive to another store before using it (I read the reviews after purchase instead of before). Reviews on this drive were almost universally positive and Best Buy associate vouched for its quality and durability, so as long as the drive continues to peform for at least a few years, I'll be satisfied. I do have two other WD drives, both a larger tower and an old passport that I've had for years and they continue to work very well as extra and duplicate storage and PC backups.
I would recommend this to a friend

This WD external hard drive is fast, reliable, and easy to use. As a 2 TB drive it is slimmer than older 1 TB drives.

So happy with this hard drive!! My previous external HD was very cheap and I certainly got what I paid for: it took hours to upload files and occasionally the folders and their content would disappear. Needless to say I lost a significant portion of my files and learned my lesson. This WD external hard drive changed the game: I had ten years of documents, music, and movies transferred in just a couple hours!!! Insane download speed, great compact size, and ample space for the price. If you can grab one on sale, do it!!

Very easy to use, reliable external hard drive, enough storage space (2 TB) for my current needs because my computer hard drive has about 1 TB capacity. I use the external hard drive to back up my computer hard drive. I am glad I bought the external hard drive and I highly recommend it. There is a minor inconvenience: the external hard drive does not come with its own case.
