    EASY STORE 2TB external storage device

    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 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.

    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 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!

    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.

    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!!

    My 1TB external drive wasn't going to have enough spare space for work I was doing, so I looked for a 2TB one and the price was right on this. I didn't realize how TINY it is! It worked exactly right from the start and takes up so much less space on my desk. Just about the size of the palm of my hand!

    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.

    Perfect solution for portable bulk storage

    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.

    Best insurance you can buy - cheap

    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.

    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.

    Great, fast drive for backing up our device

    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.

    Faster Than The Cloud. Cheaper, Too.

    Picked this little guy up for Time Machine backups on my Mac. Works great on PCs, too. Fast. Nice, compact size. Backup your stuff by keeping all your stuff on at least 2 separate drives, at the same time. Cloud is OK, but usually limited storage. And... have you ever tried to get 2TB of stuff off the cloud? Takes forever. Get your stuff back in a fraction of the time.

    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.
