Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!!

Easy to use, compact, and reasonably priced way to run back-ups of your important data. Lots of space with 2 TB.

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.

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.

This 2TB external storage device is perfect for what I purchased it for. Years of pics and vid’s, important documents, etc. It was pretty easy to get stall and set up. It took a while to download pics/vids, but that was because there were 5 years worth of worth of files! It ended up faster than it initially estimated. Overall…we’re very happy with the capacity and function of this product, and I would recommend this to other buyers.

I use this WD Easystore drive to back up important files and store large videos, recordings, photos, and completed projects. The 2TB capacity provides plenty of additional space without taking up room inside my computer. Setup was extremely simple. I connected it through USB, and my computer recognized it immediately. File transfers have been reliable, and the compact size makes it easy to move between computers or carry in a bag. It is also powered through the USB connection, so there is no separate power adapter to manage. It is not as fast as an external SSD, but it offers excellent capacity and value for backups and general storage. Overall, it is a practical and dependable portable hard drive.

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!

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 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.

Fast shipment. Easy install. Plug and play with plenty of space for backups. Small and compact. What more can you ask for? I would recommend it to anyone in need something for safe backups. Load it with important info put it in your pocket and take it on the road.

Very slim and works great with laptops. Great storage for a good price on hard drive. Easily accessible.

I went into the store to get a hard-drive, for extra storage on my PS4. I was looking to get a Seagate. The one that is produced and marketed for Playstation. But the sales guy told me that this was pretty much the same exact thing. Just branded differently and sold as such storage for a P.c. and the best part.? It was about half the price!!! And it does the same thing.. YES!! IT WORKED perfectly.. Thanks again Best Buy!!

I purchased this external hard drive for my son's Xbox, so that he can store his games without taking up space on hard drive on game system. This works so much better than one dedicated for Xbox by Seagate. He found this to be faster, able to place games on either internal or external hard drives and overall better. I do advise purchasing the additional warranty just to be safe.

So far it's good but I have used it twice to back up photos and video clips. Setup: Simple plug and then it will prompt to load drivers. Quality: The device feels sturdy, cable fits just right. So far Overall, a good quality drive, download speed is good. I playbacked videos from the drive and it ran smoothly. I got it at a great price on sale. I also used a $5 reward credit so definitely sing up for the Rewards Program.

I've reviewed previous models of this drive and my opinion remains the same. Great budget drive. Low cost without a bunch of frills. Very fast on a USB 3.1 port for streaming media without buffering. Small footprint but more than ample storage. I've owned several over the years and never had one fail me yet. If you need portable storage, this is the one. Only thing I wish the would do is provide a UCB-C cable for newer laptops.

Fast, easy to setup and a good price, plenty of room for portable data storage

Great Hard Drive. Very portable and works well. I would buy this external drive, Great price . Love that it fits in my pocket and has 2tb of space. Great for coping your favorite photos and documents to save and just put away in a drawer to be saved for future use. Love it. Go ahead and get yourself one of these WD Easystore 2TB external drive.

Perfect! It actually was smaller than i thought it wld be but thats okay cause it makes it super portable. It fits easily in ur purse, pocket of a bag or backpack,or even in ur back pocket. I use it for my ps4 to download games & even when it was turned off wrong & unplugged before shutting down rigt it still saved everything & didnt skip a beat! Love this little back up life saver & esp love the price match guarantee , the system actually did it for me so no hassel whatsoever! Love it! ❤

If you are working from home, you absolutely need a reliable external backup. This thing has saved my bacon more than once. Compact and relatively fast with USB 3.0. The included Western Digital Backup software isn't pretty, but it flat works, far superior to Microsoft Backup and File History in my experience. Cheap enough to fill up and archive and buy a new one - which is exactly what I'm doing today.

If you are using a NAS or Cloud Service for backup, you may want to reconsider using attached storage with this drive. The price is incredibly reasonable and your backup software with be happy that it does not need to find a network device or a Cloud. It's so simple to use as once you configure your backup software, no more error messages and greater confidence that the backup was created based on your schedule.
