    Awesome purchase and a great investment! Not only have I moved over all of my photos and videos, but I will plan on using my hard drive to store my YouTube footage and gaming content! It’s a bummer transferring files isn’t the same when doing it on a MacBook, but other than that it’s a good purchase!

    This thing is tiny, about the size of a wallet. I had never used an external hard drive and was surprised at how easy setting it up was. It is a little noisy when running, but it isn't like I need to use it daily. I would buy it again.

    SO. SO. SOOOO GLAD I finally purchased this thing. I've been looking to get this for my PS4 since that 500GB wasn’t cutting it anymore. I had to go through deleting games I played from time to time just to play new ones. Now, I can make the choice of letting it stay there for a while since I have the space. Set up was SUPER EASY on PS4 as it already has the settings to format it. Not only that, it was quick in the formatting process. It's such a relief to know that I have so much extra space now. 500GB to 2TB? That's a nice jump I'll say. Lastly, the price is right in my range of what I was looking for. I didn't want to go too expensive, but I knew I wanted something good. I knew about this external hard drive because of my roommate. He got it during Black Friday (I completely missed out; I regretted it) and has no issues out of it. The opportunity came for me to purchase it for myself and got it here at a nice price. Overall, I definitely recommend it!

    Very nice. Small, compact. Lots of room. Only complaint is doesn't come with instructions. Ended up calling tech support to find out how to use. Turned out to be just drag and drop to copy over files and folders. so easy to use. Also was on sale!

    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

    Easy to set up, basically just plug and play. I use it to back up my entire iMac hard drive (with space to spare) and it works seamlessly with the iMac's Time Machine app. Have checked the files and everything's precisely as it should be. Have used for about a year now.

    It's exactly what it says it is. An easy storage solution - plugs into a USB drive and gives you 2TB of extra storage. I've been using the one I bought to back up music files, photos, etc for about a year and haven't had any problems with it. Connnects, disconnects and copies files quicker and easier than my previous external hard drive (which was also a WD, just an older model).

    The WD easystore let me move all of my files off my PC with no problem. I read reviews and even the actual box where it stated that all you have to do is plug and play and it was just that simple. I haven't tried it with my MacBook Pro yet, but I will. And I plan on using it with my ps4 to move files. It's compact and its quiet, gets the job done.

    I got a good deal for it. The size is small so I can carry it in my bag to work every day. I can store multiple pictures with this portable hard drive. It's much smaller than my 500 GB that I bought 5 years ago but the capacity is much bigger.

    Nice portable unit. Works with chromebook, and any windows machines (10, 7, XP and 2000!) Simple installation: plug and go. Transfer rate is not blisteringly fast BUT not a problem at all. Still find it amazing how such a small form factor has so much capacity

    Plug in and use. Was so simple. I use to back up family pics and videos on Bluray and regualr DVDs on my PC but that was time consuming and and took a lot of discs to use. I had a harddrive crash 15 years ago and my wife and I lost all our photos that we had stored on it that were our history of our lives from when we first met to getting married. So I always made a point to back them up up discs. P Problem is that new laptops don't have disc drives anymore. So it was either an external HDD or a USB thumbdrive. Well, thumb drives don't hold as much as this does without costing 3x as more. I can easily lose a small USB drive in the house or even around my desk. This was the right price, the right size and easy to use. I bought a protective case to store it in when not in use to make sure I never loose any more memories.

    This hard drive is an amazing product all around!! With it's plug-n-play capabilities I was able to easily sync the hard drive to Windows 10 on my laptop. The WD software gave me the ability to schedule a weekly system backup that hides when in operation and doesn't affect the speed of my computer at all. Not that it's intentional, but I tend to go through a lot of electronics so durability is something that I value when looking for a new product. So far this drive has managed to withstand 3-4'+ drops without so much as an error message. I also really enjoy the quick disconnect feature that you can enable on the device. I've accidentally disconnected it on multiple times, but it just goes right back to work when reattached. I would HIGHLY recommend this hard drive to anyone looking to keep their digital data backed up & secure, but especially to those who are looking for data portability.

    I have bought a few of these now and they are very handy. The size allows me to store the majority of our pictures and movies on it and use on any machine. Western Digital has been a leader in storage for quite some time and these things hold up very well. The only complaint I really have (and this pertains to every one that I have, roughly 15), they never want to eject well from a Windows Operating System. I usually get the "Unable to eject" error that a lot of others do. To circumvent this issue, it would be nice if Western Digital would release a utility of its own to allow for a fast and easy eject without any issues. Otherwise, you can't really go wrong! Be sure to buy a storage case too to store it when carrying it around or storing it.
